TORONTO, Ontario (Nov 21, 2023) – Canada’s largest golf show has been renamed and revamped to become the Golf Town Golf & Travel Show and will be held February 2 to February 4, 2024, at the Toronto International Centre.
“We are excited and proud that Golf Town is now the official partner of the annual golf and travel show” Michael Beckerman, Chief Client Officer Toronto Star said. “The 2024 show will be the biggest in its more than 30-year history. As one of world’s largest and most renowned golf retailers, Golf Town is committed to growing the game of golf.”
“We are thrilled to expand our close relationship with TORSTAR by adding the Toronto Golf Show to our joint ventures. Our shared passion of growing and celebrating the game led us to a collaboration on SCOREGolf and the Golf and Travel Show is the next step in our growing partnership. As part of our leadership position in the game it is time for us to return to this long-standing kick off to the season in the Canadian market as we continue our journey to becoming the Home of Golf. We are happy to be a small part of this legacy event and look forward to the energy it creates and the anticipation for players and the industry when the cold clears, the courses open up in spring 2024 and we can all tee it up again.” said Chad McKinnon President, Sporting Life Group.
Formerly known as the Toronto Star Golf and Travel Show, the annual show attracts golfers of all ages and skill levels. The event was attended this year by more than 14,000 visitors. Beckerman said he fully expects that with new programming and Golf Town’s expertise the 2024 show will draw some 20,000 plus attendees.
“Whether you are a beginner or an avid golfer, this will be the place to be. A show you won’t want to miss,” Beckerman added.
“As Canada’s largest golf and travel show, this is a rare chance to visit the booths and chat with leading golf equipment and apparel manufacturers, golf course representatives, travel destination leaders and more. The goal of both Golf Town and the show is to grow the game by inspiring golfers of all ages to get involved, with a focus on creating gender equality and diversity in the game.”
