Golf Economic Impact Report – 2023

The 2023 Golf Impact Report, commissioned by the American Golf Industry Coalition, is the first new report of its kind in six years and reveals that golf has a direct impact of almost $102 billion on the U.S. economy, a 20% increase over 2016 ($84 billion). It was produced by NGF’s team of researchers and consultants, who assessed the game’s economic, philanthropic, societal and environmental impacts. When accounting for indirect and induced effects, golf’s broader economic impact is $226.5 billion and enables over 1.65 million jobs.
