Caddy Comps has snapped up the naming rights to the iGolf Open Events in a major new two year deal with England Golf. The agreement marks the largest series in the competition’s history and signals serious ambition for growth. Organisers believe the partnership will supercharge participation at recreational level.
The newly titled Caddy Comps iGolf Open Events will feature six qualifying tournaments across the country. Players who progress will earn a place in a season ending Grand Final on the iconic Hotchkin Course at Woodhall Spa. The venue is widely regarded as the spiritual home of English amateur golf and provides a fitting backdrop for a showpiece finale.
The biggest iGolf season yet
This year’s schedule represents the most extensive iGolf calendar to date, with more events than ever before. The expanded format offers recreational golfers a genuine competitive pathway outside traditional club structures. Officials say it reflects the modern evolution of the sport.
Interest in iGolf has grown steadily in recent seasons as more players look for flexible ways to compete. The 2026 edition is expected to attract record numbers when registration opens. Organisers are already preparing for strong demand from subscribers.
Caddy Comps is recognised as one of the UK’s leading golf competition websites and has made participation a core focus. The sponsorship reflects a shared ambition to make golf more inclusive and accessible nationwide. Both organisations say the partnership is rooted in widening the game’s appeal.
Through the relationship, Caddy Comps hopes to introduce more people to golf and encourage regular play. The brand has also demonstrated its commitment through ongoing work with the Golf Foundation. Together, the partners aim to enhance the overall experience for recreational players.
Big names and growing influence
Caddy Comps has built strong visibility beyond the fairways through high profile sponsorships. The company backs Peterborough United F.C. and popular YouTube channel Golf Life. It also counts former footballer Jimmy Bullard and ex England cricketer Phil Tufnell among its ambassadors.
Organisers have hinted that some familiar faces could tee it up at future iGolf events. The added star appeal is expected to boost interest and social engagement. For a sport eager to modernise its image, the timing feels significant.
New deal reflects the ambition of the 2026 series
Jonathan Lawrence, Managing Director of Caddy Comps, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be working with England Golf and iGolf. At Caddy Comps, one of our key focuses this year is getting more people into golf and encouraging more people to play the game regularly. Working alongside England Golf and iGolf allows us to support that mission at every level, helping to make golf more accessible, engaging and inclusive for players across the country.”
Claire Hodgson, iGolf and iPlay Director at England Golf, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Caddy Comps as an iGolf sponsor and to see that sponsorship come to life through the iGolf Open and Pairs Events. Our events continue to grow year on year, and with more events than ever this year, this sponsorship reflects the scale, ambition and quality of the series.
“Caddy Comps share our passion for making golf inclusive and accessible and for supporting non club members, making them a natural fit for iGolf and our events. With their commitment to the iGolf Open and Pairs Events, we look forward to working together on new ways to enhance the golfing experience at each event, with the potential to see some familiar faces take part.”
