International Golf Federation

The International Golf Federation (IGF) is the global governing body for golf, responsible for overseeing the sport’s development, rules, and standards worldwide. It works with national golf associations to promote the game, organize international competitions like the Olympic golf events, and ensure consistency in rules and regulations across countries. The IGF also collaborates with other sports organizations to advocate for golf’s growth and sustainability. Essentially, it acts as the central authority that helps maintain the integrity of golf as an international sport.
