Contract Summary
Who We Are:
IMG
IMG, the pioneer in golf, was founded by Mark McCormack in 1960 following a gentleman’s agreement handshake between Mark and Arnold Palmer.

Over the years IMG has extended into numerous sports but its roots are firmly set within Golf and we are proud to have staged over 800 events since 1960.
IMG Golf can help drive business’, brands and shape the game of golf through being embedded in all aspects from Academies through golf course design and management to licensing and Tours.
