Golf Tournament Checklist

Summer is just over 100 days away which means golf tournaments are right around the corner! Golf generates more than 3.9 billion in charity giving annually – more than any other sport. These dollars are donated by 24 million Americans who play 465 million rounds of golf at 15,200 facilities across the U.S. [1]

As off-course businesses like Top Golf are capitalizing on charity and special event programs, the opportunity for promotional products in the golf industry is limitless.

So whether on or off course, here is a checklist to get ahead of the game and help your clients through the process of planning a golf event.
