The Impact of Live Golf on PGA Tour Dynamics
The emergence of Live Golf has significantly disrupted the traditional business model of the PGA Tour, notably through its lucrative contracts aimed at attracting top players. This competition prompted the PGA Tour to reevaluate and enhance player compensation while also innovating its offerings to retain talent and maintain sponsor interest. For example, many sponsors began to reconsider their relationships with the PGA Tour, as they were paying for what was perceived as lower-quality events compared to what was initially promised. Nevertheless, despite some sponsors exiting, others invested heavily, with some companies pledging over $20 million to align their brands with the premier players in professional golf.
