A GLOBAL SOLUTION

​

IMG has been at the forefront of the sport management industry since its inception in 1960, with golf at the heart of its activities. Our founder Mark McCormack was the first to recognise the commercial potential of sport and that of its stars. With the promotion of IMG’s first clients – Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus - the sport marketing business was created and IMG considered the market leader in the industry.

​

In 2014, IMG was acquired by WME, the world’s leading entertainment and media agency, advancing our expertise. In 2017, IMG became an Endeavor company, further strengthening the breadth of IMG’s offering and our ability to deliver unparalleled access and scope across the sport.

​

Over the past 25 years IMG Golf Course Services has assisted over 110 clubs with our industry leading consulting services. With professional staff across the globe, we utilize our broad resources and experience to deliver value added services to create successful clubs.

​

A few years ago we also launched IMG Prestige, an elite network of 200+ courses that feature leading golf clubs and partners from across the world. The network provides a unique and valuable benefit to the members of each participating club as well as driving and delivering green fee revenue. Members at each club are entitled to preferred access, special rates, discounts, benefits and privileges.
