A Note from
Jimmy Roberts

For four decades, I’ve had the privilege of covering golf’s greatest players, leaders and moments. But what is happening in the game now is different. Golf has become one of the most dynamicbusiness stories in sports — shaped by capital, media, technology, private clubs, global expansion, sponsorship and a new generation of participants.

The Big Swing Golf Business Intelligence Brief was created to help readers understand that story with the context, access and perspective it deserves.
— Jimmy Roberts, Co-Founder & Executive Editor
