The live concert that Goulding will star in is just one of the many different ways that the R&A is trying to attract more attention to the sport. Through such upgrades to the events, the governing body is hoping to open up the world of golf to a bigger and perhaps younger audience.
Besides the music show, the Walton Heath event will also host an enhanced festival fan village. Featuring a fun golf zone, VR and interactive golf experiences, and screenings of both golf and other women’s sports like the FIFA Women’s World Cup, the event is certainly bound to be a big hit.
