ABOUT THE PGA’S GOLF FOR ALL RESEARCH PROJECT – BY IPSOS
Technical Note: This research has been carried out by Ipsos on behalf of The PGA. A representative (quota) sample of Adults aged 18+ across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland were surveyed using Telephone (CATI) fieldwork across two waves (Wave 1: n = 2,046, Wave 2: n = 2,087) and a representative (quota) sample of those aged 18+ who have interest/played any format of golf were surveyed online across two waves (Wave 1: n = 1,006, Wave 2: n = 1,047).
Online data has been weighted to known population and profile of this audience as determined by the CATI survey.
Two waves of offline fieldwork took place between 27th Jul - 14th Aug '22 and 11th -23rd Apr '23. Four waves of online fieldwork took place between 30th Jan-28th Feb '23 , 11th-30th Apr '23, 14th – 27th August ’23 and 9th -22nd Oct ’23.
