Swedish Golf Federation
The Swedish Golf Federation is the governing body for the sport of golf in Sweden, founded in 1904.
The federation is responsible for administering the Rules of Golf, as laid down by The R&A, at the national level. It organizes tournaments, manages the national teams, and promotes the game. As of 2017, the federation organized 460 golf clubs and 468,570 individual members, 72% male and 28% female. This makes it the largest sports federation in Sweden in terms of active members, ahead of association football and athletics in second and third place.
SGF is a member of the European Golf Association. Thanks to a high national participation rate of almost 5%, SGF is EGA's third largest national member behind England and Germany.
