The annual Golf Industry Show is THE big show for Standard Golf, and we can’t wait to see you in San Antonio this month. This event begins February 3 and lasts through February 8 at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas.

February 4 and 5 will feature the GCSSA Golf Championships with Education Seminars starting on February 5, extending throughout the duration of the Show. On the evening of February 6, the opening festivities will begin, with the trade show floor events running February 7 through February 8. The Trade Show at GIS is the game’s premier learning and networking marketplace. Industry professionals immersed in every aspect of the golf course and facility management industry will gather in one place, offering a unique opportunity to connect and reflect.

With attendees from all over the world, GIS allows Standard Golf to meet our current and potential customers, network with other industry experts, and expand into new markets. We would love to see you and demonstrate some of our traditional and new golf course accessories.

Standard Golf is excited to be introducing our newest bunker rake—The Chief. The name says it all. The Chief is a pioneer in bunker rakes, providing a smoother, more consistent finish than traditional rakes, leaving fewer plugs or plow marks that impede play. This consistency is achieved with a two-in-one rake, featuring a smooth side for rolling the vertical face and a ridged side for scraping the bottom of the trap. One-third of today’s courses in the US have adopted the Aussie Style, but there has not been a rake to handle this manner of play. Developed in response to the changing needs of these golf courses, including the site of the 2017 PGA Championship, the Chief is the only rake for the job.

Come and meet the Chief in San Antonio February 7 and 8. Standard Golf will be on hand to demonstrate its effectiveness, and we will also showcase some of our tried and true dependable product lines, including custom flags and banners, and other quality accessories.

We’ll be ready to chat with you in booth #13067 and give you a taste of all that Standard Golf has to offer the modern golf course industry professional. To learn more, contact Standard Golf or your favorite Standard Golf distributor.

Serie A stays with CBS one more year before testing the U.S. market again

Serie A and CBS Sports exercised a mutual one-year option keeping the league’s U.S. rights on CBS Sports platforms through the 2026-27 season, Sports Business Journal reported, with most matches on Paramount+. Terms are believed unchanged from a 2024 renewal in the low eight figures, down from about $75M a year in 2021. The league plans to sell again after the World Cup.

  • 01Serie A's U.S. rights went from about $75M a year under the 2021 CBS deal to a low eight-figure renewal in 2024, according to SBJ, which described the drop as a significant financial haircut amid a softer market for European soccer rights.
  • 02The Bundesliga, represented by Relevent Sports under a 17-year partnership, is also in the market with its English- and Spanish-language U.S. rights beginning in 2026-27 after its ESPN deal expired, according to SBJ, while Serie A sells direct with no agency.
  • 03Serie A's Spanish-language U.S. deal with Fox Deportes has already expired, so a Spanish partner is an open item alongside the English package when the league returns to market after the World Cup.

The Mariners made 2026 digital shorts without an agency as MLB clubs bring video production in-house

The Seattle Mariners produced all four of their 2026-season video shorts in-house after decades with agency Copacino Fujikado, Sports Business Journal reports. Most MLB clubs now handle the bulk of video production internally. Zoomph values the Dodgers' 2025 team social output at $101 million in paid-ad equivalent, a benchmark for avoided spend, not revenue collected.

  • 01Zoomph's $101 million figure for the Dodgers is the estimated cost of buying the same reach with paid ads, so the right comparison for an in-house studio is avoided media spend against staff and equipment, not agency fees alone.
  • 02The edge MLB creative teams describe is access to talent from the minor leagues up, which means the in-house model transfers well to organizations whose creative staff sit near the people they film and poorly to those that don't.
  • 03Clubs judge a short by what it turns into inside the ballpark: a giveaway, a theme night, a ticket special. A video that produces none of those is a one-off, however many views it collects.

MLS explores eight-figure presenting sponsorship ahead of 'MLS 3.0'

MLS explores eight-figure presenting sponsorship ahead of 'MLS 3.0'

Major League Soccer has retained London-based Altius8 to explore selling a league-wide presenting sponsorship, Sportico reported on September 18. Early talks are in the eight figures, behind only the Apple and Adidas deals, and the league is not renaming itself. It is timed to next summer's new calendar, playoffs and commissioner.

  • 01An eight-figure presenting deal would sit behind Apple’s $2.5 billion media agreement and Adidas’s $830 million extension through 2030—and ahead of other major league-wide deals—offering a rare public price band for a U.S. league-level asset.
  • 02MLS is deliberately splitting the European model: it wants the presenting-sponsor revenue LaLiga, Ligue 1 and Serie A collect, without putting a brand name in front of the league the way the Premier League did with Barclays until 2016.
  • 03The asset list is not fixed. Chief revenue officer Carter Ladd says there is no predefined package, so what a bidder gets, and whether the league-wide jersey patch is on the table, is being decided now.
