GOLF IS MORE Accessible than ever, with a growing number of programs, initiatives and pathways designed to help people get involved in the game.

Organisations within the industry are leading efforts to break down barriers and create opportunities, ensuring that golf is available to everyone, regardless of background or ability.

​

In 2024, approximately 32.6M people in the US engaged in off-course golf activities, which is more than the 28.1M who played on a course.
