International Golf Federation (IGF)

• The International Golf Federation is made up of 151 amateur golf federations from 146 countries. Thirty-three of the National federations participated in this year's Olympics. It also includes 22 professional golf associations including but not limited to the PGA, the International Federation of PGA Tours and individual PGA associations for tournaments.
• The only data partnership currently reported in the IGF annual report is a project where the IGF is sharing data with a medical committee that is working to collect "systematic and harmonized epidemiological data in order to have more robust data to inform injury and illness prevention strategies in golf."
• The IGF's clients include the aforementioned amateur and professional golf associations. The IGF also "acts as a consultative body and link between active athletes and ensures that their interests are protected."
• The latest annual report from the IGF shows that the federation earns income from IOC, Youth Olympic Games, Subscriptions for championships and other income. The federation is currently operating in the red.

Summary

• Within the first hour, we have been able to provide insight into the global sports federations. We have presented a list of all sports federations that are part of the Olympic Committee.
• As an example of the kind of information we were able to find with one hour, we provided an overview of the International Golf Federation, the countries which belong through the amateur channel and the professional associations with membership, as well as an analysis of their data partnerships and revenue streams.
• For a deeper dive into the rest of the sports, we recommend further research. Details on our recommended research paths have been provided in our proposals below.
• For all our research, we would focus on the Global federations unless directed otherwise.
