With editorial headed up by Britain’s favourite
golfer of all time Nick Faldo; ‘World of Golf’
is published twice a year and is written for the
core of the corporate golf community.
Unlike the monthly golf magazines, there are
no golf manufacturer promotions or lessons
on improving your game. Rather, we focus on
the sport’s great personalities and its
associated luxury lifestyles.
Our PGA Tour commentary offers a concise
and intelligent briefing for busy senior
executives, whilst our travel and fashion
features present a detailed, witty and
intelligent approach designed to tempt,
engross and entertain this high-income,
high-spending audience.
Sharp, glossy and stunning; ‘World of Golf’
is designed for coffee tables and boardrooms,
influencing high-earning, affluent consumers
who are prepared to spend more for quality
goods and services.
