On top of the divide in professional golf that exists, the generational divide in golf couldn’t be more apparent as well. 👇🏻 While said completely in jest, Mr. Beast would indeed be the first place to start if the ‘powers that be’ wanted to grow the game. We see it in TUGR Junior everyday. Golf is in the middle of a generational transition of decision-makers. The older generation continues to hold on to power for dear life while those institutions and colleges who have already transitioned coaching or other decision-making to the next generation are moving forward and embracing technology and a different way of thinking. Protectionist policies only work for so long, that’s what the PGAT hasn’t learned yet. That’s not even a LIV statement, that’s a simple business 101 statement. As outsiders to the ‘boys club’ known as the golf industry, we see it first hand. The sport of golf could be so much further along if there was a collective spirit of moving the game forward by the bigger institutions. Eventually things move when leadership changes and new attitudes and generations take over. Some are embracing it now, others it’ll take another 10 years until they finally do. The Masters is one of the few institutions that has struck the balance between honoring the legacy of the game while innovating forward. Everyone else is stuck in the past.
