The International Golf Federation (IGF) was founded in 1958 and is the international federation recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as the world governing body for golf. The IGF has two membership categories representing the administration of golf internationally:

  • 132 National Federation Members from 126 countries[1]
  • 22 Professional Members, mostly professional golf tours and Professional Golfers Associations[2]

History

The Federation changed its name from the "World Amateur Golf Council" in 2003 to reflect its transition to governing all of golf. It was founded in 1958 for the purpose of arranging international competitions and it used to organize two World Amateur Team Championships, the Eisenhower Trophy for men and the Espirito Santo Trophy for women.[3]

Secretariat

The headquarters of the IGF is located by the shores of Lake Geneva in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Jurisdiction

Unlike most internationally recognized sports federations, the IGF is not responsible for developing, maintaining or administering the rules of golf. Instead, the rules are jointly developed and administered by the United States Golf Association (for the United States and Mexico only) and The R&A (the governing body derived from The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, the historical codifier of the rules of golf), the two oldest governing bodies in golf history.

Events

Olympic Games

Main article: Golf at the Summer Olympics

The globalization of the sport has meant that following a couple of failed attempts, the International Olympic Committee's executive board approved the reinstatement of golf in the Olympics by a vote of 63 votes to 27 in 2009.[4][5] The sport was included in the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 2020 Olympic Games, and will be included in all subsequent games as a core sport. It was also featured at the early Olympics in 1900 and 1904.

World Amateur Golf Team Championships

The World Amateur Golf Team Championships was started from 1958 and 1964.[6]

Men

The Eisenhower Trophy is a biennial world team championship for amateur men golfers. First held in 1958, the event is named after Dwight D. Eisenhower who was the President of the United States at the time.

The Espirito Santo Trophy is a biennial world team championship for amateur women golfers. It was first held in 1964, organised by Mrs. Henri Prunaret and Lally Segard, and named after Ricardo and Silvia Espirito Santo, friends of Segard who donated the trophy.
