JLT has been named “official risk partner” of Golf Australia and the Women’s Australian Open, beginning a three-year deal.

Former CEO Leo Demer says the tie-up aims to improve the risk profiles of golf clubs across Australia.

“Golf Australia shares our values of hard work, ingenuity and collaboration and, of course, passion to grow the sport at all levels,” he said.

Golf Australia CEO Stephen Pitt says the national body is “incredibly excited to have one of the world’s leading providers of insurance and risk management align with golf in this country”.
