Ep26 Tyler Bloom: From Growing Grass to Breaking Seven Figures in Golf Recruiting

In this conversation, Joe Blackburn, Jason Croft, and Tyler Bloom dig into what it actually takes to walk away from a six-figure salary in the middle of a pandemic and carve out a position in one of the most niche corners of the business world.

Tyler is the founder of Bloom Golf Partners, a recruiting firm built specifically for golf course superintendents and private club leaders. He started in a basement in June 2020 with nothing but relationships and a clear picture of a problem nobody was solving well. Five years later, he’s breaking seven figures... earning a reputation as “the General” among his peers... and reshaping how the golf industry thinks about talent.

You’ll learn how Tyler identified the compensation and alignment gaps that sink most recruiting engagements before they start... why he educates the employer first, before placing a single candidate... and how he’s built the discipline to walk away from engagements that aren’t the right fit, even when it costs him money.

Joe unpacks what makes Tyler’s trajectory different from the typical founder story, and why coachability has been as important as strategy. Jason draws out the longer view: where the golf industry’s workforce challenges are heading, and how Bloom Golf Partners is positioning for what comes next.
