Pascal Grizot, president of the ffgolf : “The main mission of the Federation is to develop golf in France. Participating in the acquisition of broadcasting rights alongside the L’Équipe group and the Journal du golf represented an opportunity to promote women’s golf to a wider audience at a particularly favorable time. The growing interest in Céline Boutier's results and the prospect of the Olympic Games are indeed levers to expose our discipline more widely and encourage vocations. Which remains one of my priorities to continue to grow golf in France. »

This new right is part of our platform development strategy. This competition adds to our already rich offering of more than 3000 hours of live sport. »
