Blitz Golf, the world’s only short-format outdoor golf league, bringing together professional golfers, sports stars, celebrities and influencers, will make its UK debut this June with a four-event series across Leeds, the West Midlands, London and Lincoln.
Established in 2018, Blitz Golf arrives in England after a successful Australian summer, where more than 10,000 spectators attended four events. Across its debut season, they delivered four of the largest attended events in Australian golf.
This is a must see for casual fans, transforming a sport once seen as reserved for the elite, into an accessible, high-energy spectacle.
Often compared to the fast-paced innovation seen in leagues such as T-20, Blitz Golf condenses traditional tournament play into a three-hour knockout competition. The format features:
Progressive elimination rounds
Multiple cuts
Sudden-death shootouts
A purpose-built Stadium Hole for finals-style atmosphere
