AN ESTABLISHED DISC GOLF PLATFORM SEEKING ITS NEXT OWNER.
Tour Down Under (TDU) is an established disc golf events, media and retail platform created to elevate the global disc golf calendar and position New Zealand as a premier destination for competitive disc golf.
Over its first three seasons, TDU has built a recognised brand, established relationships across the New Zealand and international disc golf community, delivered high-level PDGA sanctioned events and developed a significant global media audience.
WHAT HAS BEEN BUILT
Tour Platform
A distinctive consumer-facing brand with an established digital presence, content library, social audience, approximately $50k of inventory, global recognition and community following.
International Participation
A summer tour bringing together 600+ competitors annually, including elite touring professionals, emerging talent and amateur competitors across New Zealand's leading disc golf destinations, aligning with the global disc golf calendar.
Global Media Platform
3M+ YouTube views and 60+hours of content generated annually, alongside 10M+ Facebook and Instagram impressions.
Established Industry Relationships
A network spanning players, tournament organisers, courses, clubs, sponsors, media partners, retailers and commercial partners, including an established relationship with the PDGA.
THE OPPORTUNITY
TDU is now available for outright acquisition by a new owner or ownership group with the ambition and capacity to take the platform into its next phase. The founders circumstances have changed and we’re looking for the right custodian to take it forward.
The opportunity is particularly suited to an individual, existing disc golf organisation, sporting or events business, retailer, media company, tourism operator or strategic ownership group seeking an established platform rather than building one from scratch.
Potential avenues for future development include:
- Expanding the tour and event footprint across NZ/Australia/Oceania/Asia
- Growing sponsorship and commercial partnerships
- Expanding broadcast, digital and content opportunities
- Developing player and fan tourism experiences
- Building new event, retail and commercial extensions around the TDU brand
TDU has reached operational maturity and an acquisition would see new owners acquire the established TDU platform and its associated business assets, including relevant brand and intellectual property, digital properties, media/content assets, audience channels, operating systems and established industry relationships and approximately $50k of inventory, subject to due diligence and the final transaction structure.
The founders are seeking an outright acquisition and are not currently seeking an ongoing operating partnership or minority investment.
The founders are inviting confidential expressions of interest from parties interested in acquiring and taking TDU forward.
Further information, including detailed business, financial and asset information, can be provided to genuinely interested prospective purchasers following an initial discussion and execution of an NDA.
