Our Strategic Priorities 2021-2028

We are committed to four Strategic Priorities which reflect the four core activities of the IGF that guide all of our work and are critical to achieving our vision:

• Administer
• Represent
• Events
• Growth

17 strategic outcomes have been identified to achieve the four Strategic Priorities by 2028. The 2021-2028 Strategic Plan outlines these strategic outcomes and the major deliverables / key performance indicators for each IGF Function.

Robust programme management will continue to hold us to account against this detailed delivery plan. We are also aware that we will again likely face many challenges: of importance, will be us continuing to underpin our delivery approach with a constant focus on achieving these within our budget; integrating our plans with delivery partners; and continuing to engage and excite the public and the Olympic movement to maintain high levels of support for golf’s continuation within the Olympic Games programme.
