INDUSTRY IMPACT

Golf has long been entrenched in the fabric of American society as one of the nation’s leading participation sports.

But in addition to its rich history – both at the professional and recreational levels – golf is a dynamic, growing and evolving industry that’s impacting the broader United States economy in a wide variety of ways.

Read the most recent report on golf's impact in America, the 2022 Economic Impact Study, completed in April 2023.

The next Economic Impact Study, the sixth study conducted by AGIC since 2000, is projected to be revealed in January 2027.

A UNIFIED VOICE

The American Golf Industry Coalition represents the collective interests of the golf industry through a unified voice of nearly 50 allied partners across all corners of golf—including course owners and operators, manufacturers, associations, turf professionals and grassroots organizations.

The four key areas of focus are outlined below.

EXPANDING ACCESS TO THE GAME

Industry partners have prioritized access and opportunity initiatives that extend beyond participation. The goal is clear: Ensure everyone can see a place for themselves in golf, whether as a player, professional or business owner. Thanks to the support of nearly 50 AGIC partners, three established programs continue to build pathways for greater access and representation throughout golf:

Make Golf Your Game – Building community-based programs that make golf accessible to everyone.
Make Golf Your Career – Opening doors to jobs and cultivating belonging across all levels of the industry.
Make Golf Your Business – Expanding supplier diversity and connecting minority- and women-owned businesses to opportunity.
