What It Is

A Countrywide Events Business With a World Final

International Pairs is designed around registered amateur golfers, golf clubs, sponsors and national pride. As a licensee, you receive the right to market, run and develop International Pairs competitions inside your contract territory.

The model is intentionally flexible: every market has a different golf culture, sponsor landscape and club network. International Pairs HQ gives you a proven blueprint while allowing you to shape the local structure that works best in your country.

The Player Pathway

How Licensees Make It Work

The strongest licensees build a full season around the International Pairs pathway: local golf clubs, regional or national qualification, sponsor activation, a national final, and the chance for winners to travel to the World Final.

1

Launch Local Qualifiers

Work with clubs, golf unions, venues and sponsors to create a visible local tournament calendar across your territory.

2

Build the National Final

Bring qualifying pairs together for a premium national final that creates content, sponsor value and player excitement.

3

Send Champions to the World Final

Your winning pair represents your country or territory at the International Pairs World Final against teams from around the globe.

4

Grow Sponsors and Participation

Use the global brand, media story and World Final pathway to grow sponsor relationships, repeat participation and commercial opportunity.
