Worldwide cover for you and your equipment

Our golfers' policy is designed specifically to provide cover for golfers, wherever their sport takes them—from liability insurance to cover for the equipment they own.

As a responsible golfer, you will be aware of the risks involved in the sport, such as causing damage to property or injury to other people during your activities. Our golfers' policy includes golfers’ liability, which has the aim to protect your financial wellbeing should such an incident arise.

It’s also important to consider insurance cover for your golfing equipment, in case it gets damaged or stolen—not just when it’s in use, but also at home or securely carried in your vehicle. Having cover in place can ease the financial burden of replacement and can help you get back on the golf course with minimal disruption.

Why Choose Gallagher?

Gallagher has over 25 years’ experience in providing specialist golf insurance. So, as well as having adequate protection for your insurance requirements as a golfer, you can also benefit from the service of a broker with specific expertise in this sector.

We offer worldwide cover as standard for the full duration of the policy, and ‘new for old’ cover for the lifetime of your golfing equipment. You’ll be covered for damage to someone else’s property without the requirement to prove you were at fault, and your equipment will be covered inside a locked and alarmed vehicle (subject to the appropriate security measures being taken).
