Think Golfers Are Old? 1 Stat May Surprise You
Despite the perception of golf being a sport for the elderly, statistics tell a different story. According to the National Golf Foundation, the average age of golfers in the United States is 54. However, there is a growing number of younger players taking up the game.
In 2020, there were 2.3 million junior golfers in the U.S., an increase of 11% from 2019. This influx of young players is helping to change the face of golf and make it more appealing to a wider audience.
