STANDARD GOLF AT GIS 2018

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.

As World Cup arrives in the US, creator-access clauses reshape broadcast rights deals

As World Cup arrives in the US, creator-access clauses reshape broadcast rights deals

FIFA's broadcast strategy for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico represents the most structurally complex rights package in the tournament's history. Deals now span over 220 territories, include a live-streaming partnership with YouTube, and formally embed creator access into rights frameworks for the first time. Meanwhile, Fox Sports' legacy deal — secured in 2015 for $485 million — has become what Observer describes as the broadcast bargain of the century, setting up dramatically higher price expectations in the next rights cycle.

  • 01FIFA secured broadcast agreements in over 220 territories, with a Dallas-based International Broadcast Centre distributing roughly 8,000 hours of additional non-live content, according to FIFA.
  • 02Fox Sports pays $485 million for US rights to a tournament Observer estimates is worth more than three times that figure — making it likely the last major sports broadcast deal secured at a deep discount.
  • 03FIFA's first-ever global creator programme and a preferred-platform deal with YouTube — allowing broadcasters to stream the first 10 minutes of every match plus select full games — mark a structural shift in how rights are packaged.
