Prizes shouldn’t be an afterthought at your charity golf tournament. They’re more than just giveaways—they’re an opportunity to spark excitement, drive registrations, increase sponsor visibility, and boost additional fundraising revenue from the event. The right mix of prizes can elevate your tournament from a fun day of golf into a memorable experience that helps keep players and sponsors coming back year after year.

Your golf event’s prizes have the potential to do more than simply recognize winners.

This guide will answer common questions about golf event prizes, share 30 prize ideas that you can incorporate into your next golf fundraiser, and offer tips on how to choose, source, and present prizes effectively. Whether you’re launching a brand new tournament or building on years of success, looking for budget-friendly options or big-ticket items, or anywhere in between, your golf event prizes can have a lasting impact

FAQs About Golf Event Prizes

Why Should We Offer Golf Event Prizes?

Prizes have the potential to play a bigger role than just simply rewarding winners. They can impact participation, engagement, and fundraising results. Here’s why they matter:

• Boost participation. Attractive prizes encourage more golfers to register and more sponsors to sign on to support the event (especially if their sponsorship includes a team).

• Drive fundraising revenue. Tournament add-ons like raffles, auctions, and contests that are tied to prizes create extra income beyond registration fees and sponsorships.

• Enhance the experience. Prizes keep the day engaging, fun, and exciting from start to finish.

• Show appreciation. Prizes and awards recognize players, sponsors, and volunteers, reinforcing goodwill and loyalty to your organization.

• Differentiate your event. Unique or high-value prizes set your tournament apart, making it more memorable year after year.
  

How Many Prizes Should a Golf Event Have?

You’ll want to strike a balance between quality and quantity, with a variety of prizes for different tournament components. Plan for a balanced mix of prizes that includes:

• One or two marquee prizes, such as a grand prize for the tournament’s winner, as well as hole-in-one contest prizes.

• A handful of prizes for on-course contests, like closest to the pin, putting, or longest drive contests.

• Smaller prizes for on-course games or challenges, which can be as simple as taking strokes off their score for certain holes, a closer tee off position, raffle tickets, or drink tickets.

• Several raffle prizes or auction items at different value levels to keep everyone engaged.

Every golfer should receive a player gift of some sort as a token of appreciation for their support of your nonprofit through the event, but there’s no need to ensure everyone gets an additional prize.

Securing in-kind donations from sponsors, businesses, and supporters to use as raffle prizes is a great way to maximize value and raise more money.

Where Should We Get Golf Event Prizes?

Prizes don’t have to stretch your budget. In-kind donations are a great way to maximize value and keep costs as low as possible. Connect with your networks to request in-kind donations for prizes:

• Sponsors. Offer logo placement, shoutouts, and recognition in exchange for prize donations.

• Local businesses. Restaurants, breweries, shops, and service providers often appreciate the visibility of an in-kind donation, particularly if they turned you down for a financial sponsorship.

• Supporters and donors. Encourage board members or loyal donors to contribute experiences, products, or even connections.

PRO TIP: Package several smaller items together, such as a coffee shop gift card and branded coffee mugs or a golf towel, divot fixer, and golf balls, to create raffle bundles with more perceived value.

• Make prizes visible. Display raffle prizes and auction items prominently, share photos of prizes for tournament winners on the event website, and promote contest prizes on social media to build anticipation before and during the event.

• Bundle creatively. Consider combining smaller item donations into themed packages. For example, a “Night Out” basket could include a gift card to a local restaurant, tickets to a concert, and a rideshare gift card.

• Keep the awards ceremony lively. Plan for a fast-moving, engaging prize presentation that keeps participants excited instead of restless.
  

Final Thoughts

Golf event prizes can be a powerful tool to increase registrations, drive revenue, and create a memorable experience for participants and golfers alike. By curating a mix of participation swag, high-end contest rewards, raffle and auction prizes, you’ll set your tournament apart and strengthen your impact. With the right strategy, even modest prizes can make a big splash. Start sourcing prizes early, leverage in-kind donations, and focus on items that reflect your audience and mission.

When you think of a golf fundraiser, a traditional 18-hole tournament on a sunny spring or summer day probably comes to mind. While these types of golf events are tried and true revenue drives, they aren’t the only golf fundraising option on the table. In fact, holding an alternative golf event this fall or winter can be a powerful way to extend your fundraising calendar, diversify your event offerings, and reach new audiences.

Whether you’re looking for a lower-lift event, something weather-proof, or a fun and inclusive experience that appeals to non-golfers, unique golf events fit the bill. Here’s why they work and how your organization can hold one successfully.

Adding a unique golf event in the off-season can help extend your nonprofit’s fundraising calendar, diversify your event offerings, and reach new audiences.

why consider an off-season golf event?

extend your fundraising season & momentum

If your organization already hosted a golf fundraiser earlier in the year, you've likely built up awareness, enthusiasm, and goodwill among golfers and sponsors. Instead of waiting a full year for your next event, capitalize on the momentum by inviting them to another golf-related fundraiser in the fall or winter.

The good news is that these seasonal events don’t necessarily have to be at the same large scale as your main charity golf tournament. You can think of them as a “bookend” to your fundraising year, and a chance to stay top-of-mind with supporters and strengthen donor relationships before year-end giving campaigns ramp up or to kickstart the new year.

Reach New Audiences

While traditional tournaments tend to draw in more avid golfers, alternative events like mini golf or TopGolf have broader appeal. Families, young professionals, corporate groups, and community members who might be intimidated by a full round of golf are more likely to participate in something smaller, fun, and social.

That wider net means additional exposure for your work, plus more potential donors and more opportunities to build pipelines for long-term supporters.

A mini golf tournament is a fun, family-friendly option to introduce new people to your cause.

Offer Accessibility & Flexibility

A typical 18-hole tournament takes up most of the day, which is something not everyone can commit to. Alternative golf events are shorter, more flexible, and may be easier for busy supporters to fit into their schedules.

They’re also highly accessible. No prior golf experience is required, equipment is often provided, and the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. This makes such an event less intimidating and more inviting for first-time participants.

Engage With Supporters Throughout the Year

Your event fundraising calendar doesn’t have to be confined to the spring, summer, or even fall. Indoor or weather-proof golf events create fun touchpoints with supporters throughout the year. This consistency not only diversifies revenue but also strengthens donor commitment and loyalty to your nonprofit.

Three unique golf event ideas

1. Mini Golf Fundraiser

Why it works: Mini golf is light-hearted and appeals to participants of all ages. It’s especially effective for engaging families and younger supporters, expanding your donor base beyond the typical golf crowd. It’s also easy to organize, with many local courses and indoor options available for rental, and you have the option to add on-course games or challenges.

When to host:

• Fall: Host an outdoor mini golf tournament before the weather turns colder in your area.

• Winter: Move indoors! Many communities have indoor mini golf facilities perfect for off-season event fundraising.

How to make it successful:

• Charge a registration fee per player or per team.

• Add tailored contests like hole-in-one challenges or best trick shot.

• Offer sponsorships. Sell sponsorships to cover fixed costs and for each hole, giving local businesses visibility at a low cost.

• Consider including family-friendly activities like face painting, giveaways, food trucks, or raffles to boost revenue and create a festive atmosphere.

Alternative golf events can come with many of the same elements as a traditional 18-hole tournament, such as trophies, contests, and sponsorships.

2. top golf event

Why it works: TopGolf has exploded in popularity, offering a modern, social spin on conventional driving ranges. Guests compete in climate-controlled bays, with food, drinks, and entertainment built in. TopGolf appeals to golfers and non-golfers alike, making it a perfect way to attract diverse participants—including younger donors, corporate teams, and social groups.

When to host: TopGolf venues are open year-round, making them an excellent choice for fall or winter fundraisers.

How to make it successful:

• Partner directly with TopGolf to book an event package, as they often have fundraising-friendly options.

• Sell tickets and sponsorship packages for each bay, which can accommodate small groups.

• Organize team competitions, longest-drive contests, or mission-focused challenges.

• Take advantage of TopGolf’s built-in amenities like catering and event staff to help minimize your planning workload.

Avery’s Hope Uses TopGolf to Include the families it serves

Avery’s Hope is a grassroots, all-volunteer organization that provides financial assistance to rare, ultra-rare, and undiagnosed pediatric GI patient families. They host an annual TopGolf fundraiser to be more inclusive for patient families, children, and those who don’t play golf. Bay sponsorships, a silent auction, and a raffle drawing help drive revenue for their mission from the event.

3. Indoor golf simulator event

Why it works: Golf simulators combine the fun of real golf with cutting-edge technology. Players can “play” famous courses around the world without ever leaving the building! Many simulators can also track swing data, adding a gamified element that many players love. Simulator events are weather-proof, scalable, and great for building repeatable annual fundraisers that showcase your nonprofit’s creativity.

When to host: Because golf simulators are indoors, these events are ideal for late fall and throughout the winter, when outdoor golf is impractical or impossible in many areas.

How to make it successful:

• Partner with a local golf simulator facility or sports bar that offers simulator rentals.

• Charge entry fees for individuals and teams and sell sponsorships.

• Host contests like closest to the pin, longest drive, or low score.

• Add in raffles, auctions, or mission-based presentations during downtime to maximize impact.

tips for hosting a winning alternative golf fundraiser

1. Use golf event tech. Save yourself a ton of time and hassle by choosing an event management platform that’s built for golf. Even alternative golf events come with unique details to handle, so make sure your platform has those tools baked in. Leverage online registration to simplify collecting payments and managing golfer and sponsor information.

2. Keep it mission-focused. No matter what type of golf event you choose, tie everything back to your cause. Share impact stories, highlight your work and beneficiaries, and make sure participants know how their support makes a difference.

3. Offer sponsorship opportunities. Even smaller events like mini golf, TopGolf, or golf simulators present chances for businesses to get involved. From hole or bay sponsors to presenting sponsorships, local businesses appreciate the visibility and community connection.

4. Keep it simple. Alternative events don’t need to be overcomplicated! Leverage the built-in amenities of your chosen venue and don’t be afraid to scale the event to fit your goals and resources.

5. Promote across channels. Use an event website and share the link through email, social media, and peer-to-peer outreach to spread the word. Highlight the fun, accessible nature of the event to help draw in people who might not usually attend a golf fundraiser.

6. Make it repeatable. Test out one of these alternative formats this year, then refine and grow it into a recurring fall or winter tradition for your organization.

An event website makes it easy to spread the word about your tournament and where people can find out about your event, register a team, become a sponsor, or make a donation.

final thoughts on unique golf fundraisers

A traditional 18-hole charity golf tournament may be the flagship fundraiser for your nonprofit, but it’s far from the only option. Alternative events, like mini golf, TopGolf, or golf simulators, offer accessible, inclusive, and weather-friendly ways to engage supporters and raise additional funds in the fall and winter.

By adding a secondary golf event to your fundraising calendar, you’ll not only boost revenue but also expand your reach, engage new donors, and build lasting relationships.

Community Food Hub, formerly Rancho Cordova Food Locker, in Rancho Cordova, California is working to reshape how food assistance looks and feels in its community. It started with changing the mindset and process of how people facing food insecurity in the community receive food and supportive services. The shift to a “People’s Choice” model necessitated an expansion of both space and programs, including a grocery-store-style food pantry and wraparound services like nutrition classes, job search support, diaper supplies, and bike servicing to help individuals and families thrive.

Community Food Hub in Rancho Cordova, California serves more than 1,500 families a week, three times as many as it served last year.

Serving more than 1,500 families each week, Community Food Hub also offers programs for seniors, students, veterans, and neurodiverse volunteers. “People don’t walk in the door excited to be there, so we greet them with smiles and hugs if they need it,” says Debbie Holden, Vice President of Expansion and Development at Community Food Hub.

---

“Almost 80% of the population we serve are working poor and families, and 20% are seniors with fixed incomes.”

— Debbie Holden, Vice President of Expansion and Development at Community Food Hub

---

With the support of the City of Rancho Cordova, local businesses, organizations, and volunteers, the organization is expanding into a new 6,600-square-foot facility that will transform a once-blighted property into a vibrant resource for the community. “We’re so grateful for the community’s support. It’s going to change the neighborhood in the best way,” Debbie says.

the challenge

In 2024, a leadership class sponsored by the Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce launched the FORE! Feeding Families Golf Tournament as a class project to raise funds for the Community Food Hub.

But once the class ended, sustaining the golf event fell mostly to Debbie, along with a small group of staff and volunteers. The goal for the event’s second year was ambitious: to increase the previous year’s proceeds by $5,000 or more to help them purchase a refrigerated truck as part of the Community Food Hub’s food recovery efforts.

With a small planning team and the need to grow the tournament’s financial impact, Debbie needed tools and support to help her pull it all off.

The FORE! Feeding Families golf tournament grew out of a leadership class sponsored by the Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce.

the solution

Carrie Johnson, Community Food Hub’s Executive Director, had received emails about GolfStatus, which were forwarded to Debbie as she embarked on planning. “I’m not a halfway person,” Debbie explains. “I needed all the resources I could get to help.” She connected with the GolfStatus team and liked what she heard about the platform’s potential for time savings and revenue generation. “After talking with GolfStatus, I said to myself, ‘This couldn’t be bad,’” Debbie says.

As a nonprofit entity, Community Food Locker qualified to use GolfStatus at no upfront cost through the Golf for Good program. With support from GolfStatus’ team, including hands-on guidance from on-staff PGA Professionals and quick responses to questions, Debbie was able to confidently manage everything in one place: registrations, sponsorships, team pairings, and more.

For Debbie, who describes herself as “not a techie person,” GolfStatus provided a user-friendly, one-stop shop for the FORE! Feeding Families event. “It wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be,” she says. “I wanted to make the tournament as fun as possible for golfers and raise funds, and GolfStatus helped keep me organized.”

The pin flags gave the tournament a professional feel. The flags included the sponsor logo on one side and the Community Food Hub on the other.

the results

FORE! Feeding Families exceeded expectations on every front. With 88 golfers and 24 sponsors, the event raised nearly $50,000. These funds will go a long way toward the purchase of a refrigerated food truck, which will be used to recover fresh food from local grocery stores and ensure thousands of families have access to nutritious food.

In addition to raising critical funds, the tournament helped strengthen community ties. Local officials, corporate partners, and business leaders came out in full support, positioning Rancho Cordova Food Locker/Community Food Hub as a cornerstone of the Rancho Cordova Community. Golfers and sponsors alike walked away impressed by the tournament's professional feel, smooth execution, and connection to the mission.

The tournament’s website made it easy to register teams, sell sponsorships, and provide digital sponsor exposure.

technology boosts efficiency & professionalism

A key factor in the tournament’s success was GolfStatus, which provided a streamlined, all-in-one platform to plan and execute the tournament:

• Online Registration. Golfers and sponsors registered and paid on the tournament’s website, which saved Debbie time and cut down on the need to manage emailed names and check payments.

• Sponsor Exposure. Sponsors earned digital exposure as soon as they purchased their packages on the event website, giving supporters the recognition they deserved and elevating the tournament’s professional feel.

• Custom Pin Flags. The pin flags provided by GolfStatus blew Debbie, the sponsor, and even the golf course staff away. The flags included the sponsor logo on one side and the Community Food Hub on the other.

---

“The pin flags were unbelievable! It made it feel like we were at a pro tournament,”

— Debbie Holden, Vice President of Expansion and Development at Community Food Hub.

---

• Backend Management. Debbie could instantly get a clear view of registrations, sponsorships, and payments in the software’s backend, helping her stay organized throughout the planning process.

• Responsive Support. GolfStatus’ in-house support team was there every step of the way. Debbie says the team was super responsive and provided easy-to-understand answers to her questions. “They encouraged me and cheered me on,” says Debbie.

• Revenue Boosters. Along with pin flags, the tournament sold GolfStatus’ exclusive Technology Sponsorship and utilized its hole-in-one contest offering to drive additional revenue.

confidence for the future

The community's need for the Community Food Hub’s support and services has grown exponentially over the past several years, with the organization serving nearly three times as many households as it did just a year ago. “Every dollar counts,” says Debbie, explaining that the golf tournament helps bring in mission-critical funds. The Food Locker’s new facility, along with the refrigerated truck, will help even more people facing food insecurity in Rancho Cordova.

Using GolfStatus helped lay a solid foundation for the tournament’s future. Debbie came away with new confidence, valuable lessons learned, and a clear vision for how to grow the tournament in the coming years. “Once you see the end results, you know what you need to do to get there,” Debbie says.

---

“Now that I’ve planned the tournament from A to Z, I can set the groundwork for the next tournament, which will include GolfStatus.”

— Debbie Holden, Vice President of Expansion and Development at Community Food Hub.

Q: We want to have games on some of the tournament holes. How many is too many? How many do you recommend?

Cash Dinkel: I would say keep it to six or fewer. Four is a great sweet spot. You don’t want to have too many games that it impacts the pace of play too much, but games can be a great way to earn some extra money from golfers.

Paul Murcek: I wouldn’t recommend doing more than six, especially if the games will slow down the tournament’s pace of play.

Jason Meininger: I would say between three and six games is about right. If you have too many, it will slow down the pace of play, and no one likes getting stuck waiting at a hole.

Q: What are some of the best on-course games you’ve seen at charity golf tournaments? What made them great?

Jason Meininger: A few I’ve seen work well at charity tournaments:

• Beat the Pro. On a par three hole, a Pro (could be the course’s golf pro, a professional golf entertainer, or other person) hits a shot and golfers pay to hit the same shot. They win a prize if their shot is closer to the hole. Golfers feel great if they can beat the pro!

• Air cannon. Golfers pay $20 (or other amount) to shoot the air cannon as their tee shot. This is really popular—it’s fun to shoot the cannon.

• Chip into a small pool. Golfers pay to hit a chip shot to land in the pool to win a prize.

Cash Dinkel:

• Use the Pro’s shot. Each team pays $20 or so and gets to hit their next shot from where the Pro hits their shot. This is very popular on par threes and par fives if the Pro hits the ball a long way.

• Closest to the pin, long drive, or longest putt contests. Sell a sponsorship to pay for the cost of the prize (and a little extra revenue), and the winners get golf shop credit or another prize.

• Beat the Pro. Another variation on what Jason mentioned is that each team pays $100 to go against the pro. If the team is closer than the pro on the tee shot, the team gets a one on that hole; if not, the hole is played normally. Another option is to give additional raffle tickets to teams who win.

• 50/50 putting contest. Set up a medium difficulty putt, maybe 20 to 30 feet. Golfers pay $20 per attempt with unlimited attempts. Everyone who makes the medium difficulty putt then gets to attempt a very difficult putt of 40 to 50 feet. If a golfer makes the difficult putt, they split half the entry fees with the host organization.

Habitat for Humanity of Columbus, Nebraska features a putting contest at their annual golf fundraiser, in which golfers use various building tools (two by fours, levels, sledgehammers, etc.) to putt.

Q: How about the worst on-course games? Why were they the worst?

Paul Murcek: Any game games where there’s too much time between golf shots. An example is where a golfer has to spin around and make themselves dizzy before hitting a golf shot. Although it is funny, it slows down play, and in the end, slow play is the biggest killer of repeat golfers and sponsors at a golf event.

Cash Dinkel: The String Game. No one wants to hold onto and cut a string throughout the day. Most people don’t grasp the game, and a lot of teams use it differently, making it not ideal.

Q: How do we maintain the pace of play with on-course games?

Jason Meininger: Bottom line—don’t overdo the games, or it will slow down the pace of play.

Cash Dinkel: Make them simple and easy to understand, and don’t do more than six. Games that are a part of normal play (like tee shots or putts) mean it won’t take more time than needed to play the hole.

Paul Murcek: I echo what Cash said about having games or contests that are part of normal play, like closest to the pin, beat the pro on a par three, or longest drive, to not affect the pace of play. Utilize volunteers who understand golf and suggest a window of no more than 15 minutes for a team to play a hole to keep a brisk pace of play (15 minutes per hole on an 18-hole golf course means a round of about four hours and 30 minutes).

When done properly, on-course games won’t slow down the tournament’s pace of play.

Q: Will golf course staff help run on-course games, or do I need volunteers?

Cash Dinkel: More often than not, your team will be tasked with staffing those contests. It’s a question to ask the golf facility, but I wouldn’t expect them to do that. They can usually assist you with setup.

Paul Murcek: You will definitely need volunteers or staff members from your organization. In my experience, golf course staff won’t help with on-course games in most cases.

Jason Meininger: Course staff will usually not run the games for you, so getting volunteers is the best option.

Q: Do golf facilities generally have any restrictions on the on-course games allowed? If so, what are they, and how can we work with the facility to make everyone happy?

Cash Dinkel: I’ve never heard of a golf course limiting on-course games. If there are concerns about pace of play or the need to protect the integrity of the course, they may say no to some on-course games. So make a point to communicate with the course what your plans are for games and contests, so there are no surprises on the day of the event.

Paul Murcek: Not to my knowledge, but every golf facility is different and may have different rules. Ask the pro if they have games that are not allowed.

Jason Meininger: I have never heard of a course restricting the number of on-course games, but like the other two said, be sure to talk with the golf staff to be sure.

GolfStatus is proud to team up once again with Dormie Network and Dormie Network Foundation for Play It Forward 2025, a one-of-a-kind campaign celebrating the incredible impact of golf fundraisers and the organizations and passionate people behind them.

Now in its fifth year, Play It Forward puts a well-deserved spotlight on the nonprofits and charitable organizations that use golf to fuel their missions, and you’re invited to be part of it.

It’s a win-win for golf and for the thousands of golf tournaments hosted each year to raise mission-critical funds for nonprofits and charitable causes doing good. Eligible events can be hosted by a nonprofit or a third party that benefits a charity and include traditional 18-hole tournaments, TopGolf events, mini golf fundraisers, or anything in between.

“Play It Forward is about recognizing the everyday heroes who harness the game of golf to create real, lasting impact in their communities,” says Brian Schenk, Chief Philanthropy Officer at Dormie Network Foundation. “We’re honored to support the organizations doing this important work and to celebrate the tournaments that help make it possible.”

Businesses are looking for a win-win when it comes to sponsoring events. They want to be associated with a worthy cause while also gaining positive exposure for their brand to an audience of their ideal clients or customers. Charity golf tournaments do both, making sponsorships a win-win opportunity for your nonprofit and sponsoring businesses.

Knowing who to ask—and how to ask them—is key to successfully securing golf tournament sponsorships.

What Are the Benefits of Golf Tournament Sponsorships?

For Businesses

Golf tournaments have a unique value proposition for businesses. With the right event management platform, sponsors get high engagement with an affluent audience of golfers through exposure before, during, and after the tournament that’s non-intrusive, but memorable. Businesses also benefit from:

• Exposure to the golfer demographic, an especially desirable marketing target for sponsoring businesses that includes middle to high-income individuals. Consider the following data points about the average golfer:

  • Average age: 46

  • Average household income: $125,000

  • Average net worth of golfers: $768,000

  • 33% are top-level managers

  • 25% own their own business

  • 83% own securities

  • 91% are homeowners

  • 83% regularly take vacations

  • 74% dine out at least once a week

Many businesses are interested in gaining exposure to the golfer demographic, which gives your golf tournament an edge in recruiting sponsors.

• Multiple exposure touchpoints across the event management platform, earning impressions throughout the tournament.

• Positive brand lift that comes with being associated with and supporting a good cause.

• Increased customer loyalty from people who value businesses that give back to the community.

• Community engagement in a casual setting and as part of a fun and memorable event.

• A competitive advantage in employee recruitment. In fact, 71% of employees think it’s important to work at a company that gives back through philanthropy.

For Nonprofits

Nonprofits stand to gain even more from golf tournament sponsorships, including:

• Financial support to make the tournament a success and help power their missions.

• Strong partnerships with sponsoring businesses that can open doors to high-level donor relationships.

• Credibility, especially for first-year or young events. Having a well-known business involved as a sponsor helps build a positive reputation.

• Access to new audiences when the sponsor promotes the tournament to their audiences, giving the tournament and the cause increased visibility.

What Types of Businesses Should We Target for Golf Tournament Sponsorships?

When it comes to how your organization will secure sponsors for your golf tournament, targeting the right businesses is crucial:

• Start with businesses you already have a relationship with. They don’t have to be previous sponsors—they could be corporate entities that your volunteers or board members own or even those that are within your supporters’ sphere of influence. 

• Look for businesses that want to reach golfers. Ideal candidates to reach out to are businesses interested in getting their brand on the radar of affluent, influential members of the community—the same folks spending their time on the golf course. 

• Target local businesses in the industries outlined below that have a generally wealthier clientele.

• Target regional and national companies where you have a connection or those that are headquartered or have offices in your area.

1. Food & Beverage

Your golf tournament likely incorporates food and beverage into your golf tournament in some way, perhaps boxed lunches, drink tickets, a cocktail hour, or a banquet. Golfers likely frequent local dining establishments, making it a great option for these businesses to get eyeballs on their brands. Consider reaching out to the following businesses in the food and beverage industry:

• Restaurants (including locally owned, farm-to-table, and upscale)

• Wineries/vineyards

• Beverage distributors

• Sports and cocktail bars

How to Win Their Support

These businesses make great sponsorship prospects because they can customize their engagement. For instance, if outside food and drink are allowed by the golf course, you might ask these businesses to donate or discount catering for your golf tournament. They might also be interested in providing samples of a signature dish or drink on a hole or simply contributing money towards the cause.

2. Healthcare

Healthcare providers are valuable sponsor prospects because they are community-minded and your goals likely overlap: improving the quality of life for residents. Research the following healthcare providers in your area:

• Primary care physicians

• Dentists/orthodontists

• Chiropractors

• Physical therapists

• Surgery practices

• Dermatologists

• Other specialty practices

How to Win Their Support

When pitching to potential healthcare sponsors, emphasize how your cause impacts their patients and their field of medicine as a whole. If your cause is related to improving healthcare for your beneficiaries, sponsoring your golf tournament could lead to a broader partnership or support of a specific project.

3. Sports & Fitness

This industry is a perfect target because of its direct tie to your fundraiser’s medium: golf. Reach out to these types of businesses in your area:

• Gyms/fitness centers

• Personal trainers

• Sporting goods stores

• Golf equipment stores

How to Win Their Support

Businesses in the sports and fitness space are often ideal candidates for an in-kind sponsorship and may be more inclined to donate goods like golf balls, tees, or even clubs for player swag bags, pin prizes, auction items, or raffle prizes. That being said, these businesses also want the broad exposure a monetary sponsorship brings.

4. Business-to-Business & Financial Services

These businesses typically cater to affluent clientele, which makes your tournament a great opportunity for them to attract new customers. Pitch a sponsorship to the following businesses in your community:

• Financial advisors/wealth management services

• Insurance companies/agents

• CPAs/accounting firms

• Banks/credit unions

• Advertising agencies

• PR companies

• Technology companies

• Consultants

How to Win Their Support

For companies that cater to other businesses or for financial service professionals who manage important assets for their customers, building a personal connection is everything. Win these businesses over by offering opportunities to network and mingle with potential clients face-to-face, like a booth on a tee box or during a cocktail hour.

Home service industry businesses are good options for golf tournament sponsorships.

5. Home Services

Most of your golfers likely live independently and can benefit from solid connections in the real estate world. Approach the following home services businesses to be sponsors:

• Home builders

• Architects

• Real estate companies/agents

• Home remodeling companies/contractors

How to Win Their Support

Nearly 70% of golfers own a home. These types of businesses jump at the chance to show off their properties and services at your golf event, perhaps with a tent on the course. Home builders and remodeling companies can showcase their work and high-quality materials and real estate professionals have the opportunity to show off their listings and upcoming open houses.

6. Luxury Brands

As golf is commonly seen as a luxury sport, it makes sense that luxury brands and service providers would fit in at your tournament. Consider contacting:

• Jewelers

• High-end clothing brands

• Local boutiques

How to Win Their Support

Similar to sports and fitness providers, these businesses would benefit from an in-kind sponsorship with your organization. An effective tactic is to use their in-kind gifts as high-end raffle or auction items, boosting donations for you and brand recognition for them.

7. Travel

The vast majority of those in the golfer demographic regularly take vacations and over half have purchased a vehicle in the past year, making these businesses hungry for exposure to this audience:

• Car dealerships

• Car services

• Rental car companies 

• Travel agencies

• Hotels and resorts

How to Win Their Support

Beyond monetary sponsorships, consider approaching travel services for in-kind donations. Vacation packages, hotel or resort packages, travel vouchers, or even timeshares work well as raffle prizes or auction items.

Allowing sponsors the opportunity to engage with golfers or offer product demonstrations is a great perk to include in sponsorship packages.

What Are Some Best Practices for Golf Tournament Sponsorships?

Sponsorships are where your tournament will likely raise the most money. 

• Offer multiple opportunities for support. Give businesses with marketing or philanthropy budgets of all sizes the chance to get involved with multiple sponsorship tiers or packages at varying price points.

• Leverage digital exposure. Use your event management platform to provide digital sponsor exposure that guarantees impressions throughout the tournament’s lifespan. There’s no overhead cost to your nonprofit and sponsors love the added exposure.

• Engage sponsors before, during, and after the tournament. Communicate with them as soon as they come on board, share updates as the tournament gets closer, recognize them during the event, and send a heartfelt thank you after the tournament concludes.

• Report on ROI. Wow your sponsors by sending a report after the tournament that details each deliverable you promised, outcomes, impact stories, testimonials, and imagery to demonstrate the ROI of their support.

Perhaps the most important best practice is using a tech platform like GolfStatus to manage your tournament’s sponsorships. Prospective sponsors should be able to browse available packages on your dedicated tournament website, then submit payment and assets right through the platform. They start to earn impressions right away, and you’re not burdened with time-consuming back and forth to secure payment, logos, and messaging. What’s more, you get access to new sponsorship options that drive revenue:

• Technology Sponsorship

• Pin Flag Sponsorship

• Hole-In-One Contest Sponsorship

Sample Golf Tournament Sponsorship Tiers

Your golf tournament’s sponsorship offerings should be customized to your event and organization’s needs. A good rule of thumb to consider when building sponsor packages is to look at your tournament’s hard costs and create a sponsorship that covers those costs and adds additional revenue.

How you price these packages depends on a number of factors, including the type of golf facility (public or private), the number of golfers, and the sponsor perks you’ll provide. It’s a good idea to offer sponsorships at varying levels, tiers, and price points to allow businesses with different budgets to support the event. Don’t be afraid to work with prospective sponsors to create custom sponsorship packages that fit both the sponsor’s and your tournament’s needs.

Sponsor logos should always be included on your golf tournament website, earning them valuable impressions before, during, and after the tournament, as well as in the accompanying live scoring mobile app.

Title or Presenting Sponsor (often includes GolfStatus’ Technology Sponsorship)

The highest tier of sponsorship with the highest price. This sponsor should receive broad recognition on all promotional materials, throughout the tournament, and include one or more teams. Folding in the Technology Sponsorship adds additional value and robust exposure throughout the GolfStatus platform.

Gold / Silver / Bronze Sponsor

This tier of sponsor may or may not have hard costs associated with it and can be considered pure tournament revenue. The accompanying sponsor benefits should be enough to justify the business’ investment and often include one or more teams.

Pin Flag Sponsor

Pin flags not only give your tournament a professional feel, but they offer unprecedented visibility throughout the golf course. Sell separate front and back nine flag sponsorships or bundle them into one sponsorship for all 18 holes.

Food Sponsor (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, etc.)

This sponsorship should cover the cost of the associated food and provide the sponsor’s logo on boxed lunches, banquet tables, snack packages, etc. An in-kind donation of food or beverage works well here (if the host golf facility allows outside food and beverage).

Hole-In-One Contest Sponsor

Hole-in-one contests offer premium exposure and associate the sponsor with a fun and exciting tournament component. Selling a sponsorship covers the cost of the hole-in-one insurance. Separate sponsorships can be sold for each contest hole, if desired.

Other Contest Sponsor

If your tournament includes contests such as putting, chipping, closest to the pin, or longest drive, you can significantly boost revenue by selling a sponsorship for each and allowing the sponsor to run the contest and engage with golfers.

Beverage Cart Sponsor

One of the most popular parts of any golf tournament is the beverage cart! Add a sponsor’s logo to the cart and offer them the chance to ride around the course and interact with golfers. The sponsorship could cover the cost of beverages, if desired.

Game Sponsor

On-course games add even more fun (and fundraising) to your tournament. You might sell a sponsorship for each game or a comprehensive games sponsor. Volunteers from the sponsor could be in charge of running the game.

Hole Sponsor (with or without a team included)

This is often an entry point for companies as they come at a lower price point and you can sell one or more for each hole. Signage on each hole, as well as their logo in the live scoring app, provides excellent exposure and a great experience for the sponsors playing in the event. Hole sponsorships can also include a team, if desired.
