2024 Cumulative Rounds Played – Through August
Through two-thirds of the year, not to mention the high-volume summer months, the total number of rounds of golf played in the U.S. in 2024 continue to trend slightly ahead (+1.4%) of last year's record pace. There were more rounds played in 2023 at U.S. courses than any other year in history, so with a strong -- or at least stable -- finish in fall and the start of the lower-volume winter months, 2024 is shaping up as another record-setter for play.
