The game of golf, like every other sport, has evolved over the years while adapting to the current trends and requirements.

The pandemic saw more women taking up golf than ever before, and  According to NGF, the number of female golfers increased by 450,000 in 2020 to 6 million female golfers, and increased again in 2021 by 200,000 to a total of 6.2 million female golfers. This year, it is expected to continue to rise and predicted to be the best year for women’s golf.  To start, the LPGA has more events scheduled ever in the history of women’s golf. The net prize fund from these 34 events comes to a total of $87.5 million, which is again the highest ever in history.

This is great news for the future of golf as it means that golf is diversifying gender demographics and is becoming a more inclusive sport that can be enjoyed by many.
