The World Players Super League (WPSL), a pioneering golf league that brings together amateur golfers from around the world to compete in a single, global competition, has generated significant interest from investors.
With a current valuation of £50 billion, the global golf market is expected to continue growing, driven by increasing demand for golf-related experiences and merchandise.
The WPSL, an extension of the European Players Super League (EPSL), has already attracted a substantial following, with over 2,300 members across the UK and UAE joining in its opening year. The league’s innovative concept, which allows amateur golfers in different countries to fly and compete in different countries worldwide has resonated with the masses and investors alike.
“We believe that an additional £10billion will be invested by amateurs in golf over the next two years alone,” its founder, Feisal Nahaboo, said.
“This is a growing trend, driven by the increasing popularity of golf and the desire for new and exciting experiences.”
The WPSL has already gained traction among high-net-worth individuals, with 2,000 members based in the UAE, including 350 CEOs of notable companies.
In addition to the super league, the WPSL is planning to launch a monthly cup competition to 10,000 amateurs with 100 winning “massive” prizes.
The monthly WPSL World Championship is a golf tournament concept valued at up to £100 million, which has proven particularly attractive to investors. It allows up to 10,000 amateur players to compete globally each month — playing on their own local courses, using their own scorecards, yet all part of the same worldwide competition.
“What’s happening is that whether you’re based in Korea or France or Brazil or South Africa, you can now compete against each other from your own golf course in a cup against competitors from other countries,” Nahaboo said. “It’s not virtual golf using IT! It’s real golf using your clubs and membership golf club!
“Celebrities love it, and we’ve seen significant interest from investors who believe in the potential of this concept.”
The WPSL has already attracted the attention of several high-profile celebrities, including Liverpool Legends Steve Staunton, Ronnie Whelan, Steve McMahon, Bruce Grobbelaar, and Jason McAteer. Also supporting the league are musicians Brian McFadden of Westlife and Keith Duffy of Boyzone, whose respective bands have sold a combined 80 million records and achieved 21 number one hits.
Golf influencer Gary Beadle, who has 6 million social media followers and over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, is not only playing in the league but also promoting and publicising it across his massive social media platforms.
The WPSL is poised for rapid growth, with plans to expand to new countries and jurisdictions. The league’s innovative concept and significant investor interest make it an attractive opportunity for those looking to tap into the growing golf market. According to Nahaboo, the WPSL is set to approach 30 high-net-worth investors to secure backing for its Monthly World Championship Cup.
“The introduction of the World Players Super League will transform golf globally, connecting tours from different jurisdictions and allowing players to compete against each other in a single, global competition,” he added.
