History
Binary sisters Steve and Dave Jolliffe had vended their riddle shopping business and were looking for a new design in 1997. Both golfers, they began complaining about golf's issues the time factor and lackluster driving ranges. Looking to ameliorate the game, the Jolliffes looked to the also-new marketable microchip technology and placed it in the golf ball. From this, they designed a new game, Topgolf, which is a redesigned driving range. In Watford, just outside London, the halves erected the first position, which opened in 2000. The golfing community and businesses weren't enthusiastic about the game. The PGA and golf outfit companies refused to get involved.
In 2003, bankers approached Richard Grogan to invest but were rejected. Grogan latterly had been convinced to visit the Topgolf installation in February 2004. Seeing only a 5 return on investment, Grogan turned them down again, although he was else impressed during the visit. Grogan with three other mates — David Main, Eric Wilkinson, Tom Mendell — also struck upon how to increase business by making it an experience by having an event space, larger kitchens, and caffs, making locales 3 to 4 times the original's size. Grogan, Main, Wilkinson, Mendell innovated and started up the US designee, Topgolf International, and plant investors. WestRiver Group was a supereminent investor.
Alexandria, Virginia was selected due to its close proximity to Washington, D.C., which could attract government officials from golf courses. This location opened in 2005. This location struggled so Grogan decided, although it is in a colder climate, to open a location in Chicago. Snow closed the location for its first four weeks and caused equipment damage. The next Topgolf location, Dallas, was selected for its connection to golf, a warmer environment, and Fortune 500 companies. With little traffic at any location, Grogan expect to be closed by May 2007. With an energetic Dallas staff in February 2007, Grogan and Main brainstormed a number of low-tech marketing techniques to draw customers as they needed to explain Topgolf like in the UK. After six months, the Dallas facility had a six-hour wait.[2]
In 2009, Topgolf International (US) acquired Topgolf UK[3] then in July from World Golf Systems the TopGolf intellectual property aspects.[4] By 2011, WestRiver's head Erik Anderson took over the executive chairman post from Grogan. Anderson moved to have newer location be even larger, with a full line kitchen and executive chefs replacing small kitchens and more golfer space.[2] Ten locations were opened in 2013. Topgolf had sales of $163.5 million in 2014 to make the Inc. 500.[3] Mobile phone apps were issued in 2013, with social media digital walls added to locations in 2015.[2]
By 2015, Topgolf had 28 locations that brought in 8 million customers. In January 2016, the company purchased the World Golf Tour gaming company.[5] Also that year, Protracer golf ball tracking technology was purchased and renamed Toptracer.[2]
Topgolf and Village Roadshow Theme Parks agreed in 2016 to a joint venture to bring Topgolf to Australia. Village Roadshow received a 67% stake in the joint venture by providing 100% of the startup funds.[6] On June 23, 2016, it was announced that Village Roadshow would open a venue next door to its popular theme parks, Warner Bros. Movie World in Oxenford, Queensland in Australia. This was the first Topgolf venue outside the US and the UK[7] The location opened in June 2018. Village indicated in March 2018 that they were looking for location proposals for up to eight Australia and Asia/Pacific locations. In July 2018, Village Roadshow sold $50 million in shares to fund Topgolf and for other purposes. In August 2018, Topgolf Australia reduced its stake in the joint venture from 33% to 3.7% with options to boost its share back up to 33% before December 31, 2020. Despite this action, Village Roadshow CEO Clark Kirby said the company continues to actively pursue other locations after encouraging financial results from Topgolf Australia.
In 2017, Topgolf created a new television series titled Who Will Rock You, where eight of the best unsigned bands across the country compete for $50,000 and a Topgolf tour. Season one premiered in May 2018 won by Crimson Riot! female-led rock group.
A second season with Matador Content and music publisher BMG was agreed upon with a March 28, 2019 start with 12 unsigned bands and a prize of $50,000 and signing with BMG.[8] Topgolf Studios had four series available on its YouTube channel by October 2, 2019. At that time, the unit agreed with Will Smith's Westbrook Media to produce additional series with the unit for Topgolf starting with This Joka comedian documentary series.
Canadian movie theatre company Cineplex Entertainment announced it entered a joint venture with Topgolf in July 2017 to open several Topgolf entertainment locations across Canada. However, in 2020, Topgolf and Cineplex mutually agreed to cancel the agreement due to financial pressure on Cineplex as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
