News
Report: Condé Nast plans to sell Golf Digest
As discussed briefly in the GolfWRX Morning 9, Golf Digest appears to be on the auction block.
Per a report by Edmund Lee and Sapna Maheshwari of the New York Times, GD’s parent company, Condé Nast, reported a $120 million loss in 2017. A decline in ad revenue was blamed: “The $120 million loss in 2017 was the result of a sharp decline in the ad revenue generated by the print magazines,” according to the article.
The report states that, “based in part on the recommendation of Boston Consulting Group, the three magazines that the company will try to sell are Brides, Golf Digest and W,” according to executives.
The mass media company has owned Golf Digest since 2001.
Condé Nast’s chief executive, Robert A. Sauerberg Jr. plans to address senior staff August 8, at which point we may know more.
In the meantime, you can find Maheshwari and Lee’s full piece here.

A new era. Untill late 90s, GD used to be the very few sources where ppl could get golf tips, news, and interviews besides golf channels. Now we have so many alternatives, Youtube, internet forums, facebook, etc..

Forgot to mention that POTUS is gonna slap a big tariff on Chinese-made golf equipment. All titanium driver heads are made in China. They specialized in titanium fabrication for their military aircraft and build driver heads on the side to fill in the business ups and downs.
Good time to get out of the golf magazine industry!

POTUS will never do that because all his fancy golf courses sell the major OEM chinese-made clubs in their golf shops.

I can only speak from my own perspective. This is my 64th year playing golf and reading golf magazines, GD in particular. Over time, there were very profoundly negative changes in these publications. Cutting through all excuses and speculation, the tent gets folded because people are not being satisfied.
