You can save 100% on golf! Yep, all you have to do is win a contest or sweepstakes, to get free equipment, golf trips, PGA tournament tickets, and more. OK, the odds are against you, but someone has to win, so why not give yourself a chance and enter.
With that in mind, we've put together a new Frugal Golfer feature: a continually updated list of golf sweepstakes and contests. Check it out.
There's some good stuff on offer from the sweepstakes and contests we've listed. The one I'd most like to win is the 2024 Scotland Experience Sweepstakes, which is being conducted by the Golf Advisory Council, and has a bunch of major corporate sponsor partners. The lucky winner and guest will get:
6 days of golf including 1 round at Castle Course, Eden Course, Jubilee Course, Crail, Lundin, and Dumbarnie.
6 nights hotel within walking distance of the Old Course in St. Andrews.
$1,000 airfare credit per person.
Enter no later than May 31, 2024.
Another great golf trip, to TPC Sawgrass, is up for grabs. Winner also gets $5,000.
Most of the sweepstakes are one-offs with a specific deadline for entries. But there are also a few that offer monthly or quarterly prizes.
For example, Titleist gives away a year's supply of Pro V1 or Pro V1X golf balls once a month. You just have to sign up for a free Team Titleist membership to be automatically entered.
So enter some of these contests – and good luck to you!
