Did you know April 15th was National Golf Day?

T

he eighth annual National Golf Day was held on April 15, 2015. The World Golf Foundation
coordinated the day’s agenda which included industry leaders meeting with Members of
Congress and their staffs to carry the message that golf is more than a game - it is a major
U.S. industry, providing two million jobs and creating annual wage income of $55.6 billion.

In total, the U.S. golf economy exceeds $68.8 billion, making golf larger than the
NFL, MLB, NHL NBA and performing arts industry. As a significant contributor to the U.S.
economy, the continued health and growth of the golf industry has a direct bearing on jobs,
economic development and tax revenues for thousands of communities across the country.
