Best Practices for Golf Tournament Planning

After more than a decade of helping professionals and first time organizers plan, promote and execute successful golf events we’ve learned a trick or two about golf tournament planning. We’ve put a lot of that knowledge into the Golf Digest Tournament Planner; our popular software that lets you create a custom golf website, register players online, accept payments and donations, market your event, track sponsors, and pretty much anything else you need for a successful event. However, if there is one critical thing we have learned about golf tournament planning… the most important factor in any successful golf tournament is you – the golf tournament planner.

We’ve assembled the best ideas, approaches, and practices from each of the successful golf tournaments we’ve supported. From charity events for Fortune 100 companies to local neighborhood scrambles, no matter what size your golf event is we’ve created this series to curate the best ideas on how to plan and execute a successful golf tournament.
