Golf Golf attracts about 450 million fans and over 60 million active players worldwide, prized for its tradition, individual challenge, and scenic settings. Traced to 15th-century Scotland, it evolved into a global sport governed by bodies like the R&A and USGA. Major tournaments—the Masters, U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and PGA Championship—draw elite players like Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Scottie Scheffler. Golf’s appeal lies in its self-reliance: no teammates, just player versus course, weather, and nerves. A single round can take hours, yet each shot demands total focus. Once seen as elitist, public courses and junior programs have broadened access. Women’s golf, led by stars like Nelly Korda and Lydia Ko, gains traction through LPGA tours and Olympics. Technology—from launch monitors to eco-friendly turf—modernizes the game without erasing its etiquette-driven soul. Corporate networking, leisure travel, and mental wellness also drive participation. In countries like South Korea and Japan, golf is deeply embedded in business culture. Though slow-paced, its tension builds silently—until a birdie putt drops. Golf endures not through speed, but through quiet mastery and timeless grace.
