England Golf is delighted to announce a new partnership with Howden, naming the leading global insurance broker as its Official Insurance Partner in a three-year agreement running until the end of 2028.
The collaboration brings together two organisations with a shared commitment to supporting safe, sustainable and accessible golf for all.
This is a key appointment for England Golf as the organisation continues to seek out meaningful relationships with partners that are bought into its strategy and core values.
Headquartered in London and operating in 57 countries, Howden is recognised internationally for its specialist insurance and risk-services expertise.
The group is also known for its strong sustainability focus and its growing presence in community sport through partnerships with the British & Irish Lions, the Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team, the Lawn Tennis Association, and Ascot Racecourse.
Howden’s strong position within the sports industry creates a powerful platform for England Golf to broaden its influence and connect with an expanding audience that values partnership with a recognised leader in the field.
Across the next three years there will be significant work from both organisations to work collectively on building a relationship that signifies a deep understanding of the insurance needs within the golfing community.
As part of the new agreement, Howden will continue its role as the insurance broker responsible for arranging £10 million public liability insurance for every England Golf club member and iGolf subscriber. To enhance this provision, a new scheme will be introduced, giving golfers the option to purchase additional cover for areas such as theft and overseas travel.
This new platform will dovetail with the existing cover, providing a seamless upgrade option that clearly defines the added value and cover golfers can unlock.

The partnership will also see Howden invest in England Golf’s Play Safe, Stay Safe campaign, strengthening joint efforts to promote safe golfing environments and expand education across clubs and communities.
With 120 branches across England, Howden aims to build meaningful local relationships with affiliated clubs, offering tailored support and deepening its connection to the grassroots game.
To celebrate the partnership, Howden are also running a prize draw in which the lucky winner will receive a host of golfing goods worth over £1,000, including Titleist and FootJoy equipment and clothing, with 10 runners-up each receiving a dozen Titleist Pro V1s.

Andy Goulbourne, Divisional Director, Sport and Entertainment at Howden, said: “England Golf is an excellent fit for Howden. Our experience working with more than 300 national governing bodies, gives us a deep understanding of clients’ insurance and risk management requirements. This partnership strengthens our commitment to amateur and grassroots sport even further.
“As part of our role, we will be arranging protection for England Golf members and iGolf subscribers, supported by our sector-leading expertise and a dedicated team — including specialist claims handlers — to assist members whenever they need us.”
England Golf Chief Executive Jeremy Tomlinson welcomed the announcement, noting that the partnership reflects a shared ambition to protect and grow the game.
“Howden’s scale, expertise and commitment to community sport make them an ideal partner as we continue to support golfers and clubs across the country,” he said.
“Their investment in Play Safe, Stay Safe and their desire to engage locally will bring real value to our members. The partnership marks a significant step forward in England Golf’s mission to champion a safe, inclusive and thriving future for the sport.”
