“I hope people see me as not only a professional golfer but as an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur with networking capabilities who will bring value to my stakeholders.”
Stephanie Meadow is one of the world’s top female golfers – playing on the LPGA Tour in the US and representing Ireland at the 2020 Olympics. She moved from Jordanstown, Co Antrim to South Carolina in the United States when she was just 14, to pursue her love of golf. Since then, she has broken college golfing records, turned pro and moved into the top 50 in the world rankings. But Meadow is much more than just a golfer. An accounting graduate, she negotiates her own sponsorship deals, manages her schedule, does her own marketing and is her own agent. In short, she is a self-employed entrepreneur. In this in-depth podcast, Meadow talks about the business side of golf, her role in representing her sponsors such as Investec, Immedis and ATA. She also talks about the impact of Covid-19 on her season, and the importance of growing female participation in sport
