Why window is closing quickly for international golf travel in 2027

Published

Like in many more serious walks of life, Covid came through the UK and Ireland’s golf travel industry like a wrecking ball, with a crushing effect on the courses, hoteliers and transportation providers that are propped up by North American golfers traveling east.

Livelihoods were on the brink. I was in the middle of it myself. Two whole seasons — 2020 and 2021 — of rescheduling trips for patient clients and incredibly understanding suppliers, who all worked to make sure dream trips were realized, albeit two years later in some cases.

On the ground, 2022 wasn’t much better. While most golfers went ahead with travel plans, barely a week passed where there wasn’t some sort of testing hiccup: calls hours ahead of arrival with reports of a positive Covid test; the isolation measures that came with it. Added to that, we were basically cramming three years of trips into one — serious stress in itself.

Since those dark days at the dawn of the decade, the industry has roared back like never before. Green fees at marquee courses have risen 10 to 15 percent year over year (a story for another time), with little or no sign of the demand dropping off. The golf travel industry is predicted to be worth a stunning $42 billion by 2030. So what are the implications for your buddies trip? In short, very small windows of opportunity. Such is the gold rush for tee times among tour operators that booking windows for 2027 will slam shut much sooner than you think.

By the time you read this, overseas travelers may have already missed the boat at bucket-listers like Portrush and Royal County Down. West coast Scotland, featuring World Top 100s Trump Turnberry, Royal Troon and Prestwick, might still be for the taking — but call your tour operator of choice now, because by the end of Q2 in 2026, much of 2027 will be sold out on one of golf’s most sought-after triple threats.

The overriding message is that for the most in-demand venues, you now need to plan 18 months ahead. Still banking on a 2026 trip? There is one place you can go and play World Top 100 courses every day, stay in world-class accommodations, fly direct from anywhere in the U.S. and be blown away off the course: England. And no one is talking about it.

Next time.

“I’m not going to jump on that bandwagon” – Gary Lineker makes big claim on Arsenal title charge as he dismisses Manchester City loss as decider

England great Gary Lineker has backed Arsenal to notch their first Premier League title in 22 years despite recently crashing to a 2-1 league loss at Manchester City.

Earlier this Sunday (April 19), the Gunners tasted their fourth defeat in six matches across all competitions at Etihad Stadium. Rayan Cherki opened the scoring in the 16th minute before Kai Havertz’s equaliser two minutes later. Erling Haaland’s goal in the 65th minute ultimately prove to be the difference between the two footballing giants.

After losing to Pep Guardiola’s side, Arsenal are still atop the Premier League table with 70 points from 33 matches. On the other hand, Manchester City are in second place with 67 points from 32 games, and could dethrone the Gunners after beating Burnley on Wednesday (April 22).

Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Lineker provided his two cents on Mikel Arteta’s side and their ongoing quest to end their Premier League title drought. The ex-Tottenham Hotspur striker said (h/t Mirror):

“It’s not impossible that it’ll be down to goal difference and it is very, very close. It’s great for the neutrals because you want it to go as close as you can right at the death, so in that sense it was good. I feel a little bit for Arsenal, they’re going through it a little bit but they’re still in the semi-final of the Champions League, they’ve got plenty to play for, they can still win the Premier League title.”

The 1986 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot winner added:

“A lot of people will go, ‘Arsenal have choked’, it could still be a memorable season for them, I’m not going to jump on that bandwagon that they’re going to throw it away, it’s too soon to say that. They did show something, even though it didn’t go their way, it could have been different.”

Arteta’s club will face Newcastle United in the league on Saturday before taking on Atletico Madrid in a UEFA Champions League tie on April 29.

Arsenal star targeted by European giants

According to French outlet L’Equipe, Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli’s entourage has met with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) sporting director Luis Campos of late. He is believed to be a summer target for the Parisians.

Martinelli, 24, could be sold by the north London outfit this summer as his contract will expire in June 2027. He has also struggled to start Premier League games this season, scoring one goal in just 10 starts so far.

Overall, the Brazilian attacker has bagged 62 goals and provided 35 assists in 272 overall appearances for the Emirates Stadium outfit so far.
