Golfing in Japan - statistics & facts
Golfing has an exceptional place in Japan’s sports industry, as no other sport has managed to gain such a strong foothold among Japan’s working population. This is especially true for employees in the upper echelons of companies. Golfing was by far the most common hobby among executives, making it the number one corporate sport.
