GOLF snapshot

As of August 14, 2026, spot at $89.95, ATM IV 33.60%, IV rank 3.93%, expected move 9.63%. The collar on GOLF below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.

Why this collar structure on GOLF specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; compressed GOLF IV at 33.60% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 9.63% (roughly $8.66 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated GOLF expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GOLF should anchor to the underlying notional of $89.95 per share and to the trader's directional view on GOLF stock.

GOLF collar setup

The GOLF collar below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With GOLF at $89.95 on that close, the first option leg uses a $95.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GOLF chain at a 35-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 GOLF shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 100 shares	Stock	$89.95	long
Sell 1	Call	$95.00	$2.48
Buy 1	Put	$85.00	$1.47

When traders use collar on GOLF

Collars on GOLF hedge an existing long GOLF stock position; the long put sets a floor while the short call finances it, often run as a near-zero-cost hedge during expected volatility windows.

GOLF thesis for this collar

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GOLF extends from approximately $81.29 on the downside to $98.61 on the upside. A GOLF collar hedges an existing long GOLF position with a protective put while financing the put cost via a short call; when the premiums roughly offset, the collar acts as a near-zero-cost insurance band around the current spot. Current GOLF IV rank near 3.93% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on GOLF at 33.60%. As a Consumer Cyclical name, GOLF options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GOLF-specific events.

GOLF collar positions are structurally neutral (protective); the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. GOLF positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move GOLF alongside the broader basket even when GOLF-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current GOLF chain quotes before placing a trade.
