879 - Golf Sponsorships 101: Why Brands Sponsor Golf Events and Players

No Laying Up - Golf Podcast

Despite a lot of changes in the professional golf ecosystem, money continues to pour into the sport at the highest level. Why is that? What do brands get out of sponsoring events (big and small), and players (famous or not). We dive into what makes golf an appealing audience despite declining ratings, the decision to sponsor an individual player, using a title sponsorship as a vehicle for other business interests, the increased value around major championships, the unrivaled appeal of the Masters, and a lot more.
