Paul Byrne – A Golfer First
For Paul Byrne, golf has always been more than a pastime. It’s been a constant through decades of work, travel, and change across Europe and the Middle East. While his career was built in the high-pressure world of delivering large-scale construction and infrastructure projects, golf remained his grounding force – the place to focus, unwind, and occasionally remind himself why three-putts are character building.
But as much as he loved the game, he grew frustrated with what golfers were offered to wear. “Big brands were charging for the label, not the fabric. The cheaper alternatives looked and felt like afterthoughts,” Paul says. “I wanted clothing that worked in the Dubai heat, moved with my swing, and looked sharp — without the inflated price tag. It shouldn’t be that hard, should it?”
From Frustration to Foundation
In 2024, Paul turned that frustration into action. Keltic Golf wasn’t born in a boardroom or dreamed up by a marketing team — it was built by a golfer who refused to settle for “standard.”
By sourcing directly from top-tier manufacturers, Paul ensured every piece carried the quality and craftsmanship he could never find elsewhere. His vision was clear from day one: clean style, technical fabrics, and fair value – no compromises. Just clothing you’ll want to wear round after round (and to the 19th hole afterwards, if the scorecard allows).

The Keltic Way
Paul’s career shaped not just what he built, but how he chose to build it. “I’ve worked in big, complex environments. I know what happens when companies get too big and too distracted. That’s not what I want for Keltic Golf.”
Instead, he keeps the brand lean, focused, and true to its values:
- Premium fabrics, built for the climate
- Clothing that moves with you
- Honest pricing – you pay for the product, not the billboard campaign
“We’re not trying to take over the golf world. We’re just building something better — quietly. I’d rather do a few things really well than a thousand things badly. And honestly, I’d still like time left to actually play golf.”
More Than Business
For Paul, Keltic Golf isn’t about hype. It’s about creating an alternative to the ordinary. “I’ve built Keltic Golf on my terms – properly, and with purpose. Clothing that actually works: comfortable on the fairway, and sharp enough for the clubhouse after. It’s what I wanted for myself, and if other golfers feel the same, then I know we’re on the right track.”
That’s what makes Keltic Golf different. It’s not driven by ego or trends. It’s driven by a love for the game, a respect for the lifestyle, and a belief that golfers deserve better.
