Charleston, S.C. — The National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) is proud to announce that Titleist, the game’s leading performance equipment brand, has extended their commitment as a Patron of the NGCOA Champions Circle through 2030.
The NGCOA Champions Circle brings together companies and organizations that believe in the importance of a strong, unified advocacy voice for golf course ownership and management. Titleist’s pledge reinforces the critical role of this collective work and deepens NGCOA’s capacity to respond to evolving legal, regulatory, and marketplace challenges.
NGCOA’s advocacy and legal initiatives continue to address some of the industry’s most pressing challenges, including protecting sustainable and fair online tee time commerce, navigating complex labor and workforce rules, and supporting golf facilities involved in critical legal disputes.
“Titleist has been a steady and valued ally to NGCOA, and this extended commitment underscores their dedication to the long-term health of the golf industry,” said Jay Karen, CEO of NGCOA. “Their support enables us to continue to build a critical Legal and Advocacy Fund to quickly address emerging and out-of-nowhere matters impacting golf courses.”
John Screen, Vice President at Titleist, added, “The NGCOA’s advocacy efforts make the industry stronger. Our community thrives when golf courses are protected and championed, particularly among legislators, judges and policymakers — and we remain committed to supporting this important work.”
