Old Tom Capital

Old Tom Capital is a specialist investment platform focused exclusively on the global golf economy. We invest, acquire, finance, and build businesses across golf’s real estate, media, technology, and infrastructure stack. Our mandate spans minority growth investments, control assets, credit strategies, and platform builds, all unified by a single objective: institutionalizing a fragmented but durable category. Golf is a $140 billion global industry with record participation, strong utilization, and long-term cultural relevance. Yet ownership remains fragmented, capital access uneven, and institutional control limited. We believe this structural gap creates opportunity for focused, patient capital with deep category fluency. Our platform is built around five integrated engines: Venture, Growth and Control, Credit, Advisory, and Studio. Each engine reinforces the next, converting access into capital efficiency and capital into lasting ownership. The result is a system designed to compound value across the full lifecycle of the industry. We partner with founders, operators, governing bodies, and long-term investors who share a commitment to disciplined growth and permanent value creation. Many of the most compelling opportunities in golf are relationship-driven and never reach broad auction processes. Being embedded in the ecosystem is not an advantage layered onto our strategy. It is the strategy. Old Tom Capital is not a generalist firm with a sports allocation. We are a focused platform built to own golf’s institutional era, with active capital, operational discipline, and a long-term horizon. Broad enough to matter. Narrow enough to master.
