Rank: separate ranking of the 8 French-language sites and the 12 English-language sites (see methodology); “—”: official or independent site, listed without a rank. Google Visits/Month: Ahrefs estimate of monthly visits from Google worldwide, either to the site itself or to its golf section (for general-interest media), recorded on November 8, 2026, and rounded to the nearest thousand.
Our Method
There is no official ranking of golf news sites. We therefore identified 47 sites, verified on November 8, 2026, that they were still publishing regularly, and then ranked the remaining ones based on two metrics from the Ahrefs tool: the number of visits received from Google each month (traffic) and the number of sites linking to them (reputation). Each site’s overall rank is the average of its two individual ranks. For general-interest media outlets such as L’Équipe or ESPN, we measured only the golf section. The websites of golf federations and tours are listed separately, as are those that publish too infrequently. This ranking is updated annually.

What about the independent media?
In the United States, two independent media outlets are very important to enthusiasts: The Fried Egg, the go-to resource on golf course architecture, and No Laying Up, best known for its podcast. They aren't in the top 20 because they publish fewer articles, but they can be found in Our list of the best golf podcasts.
Fred’s Take
To keep up with the French players on the tour, Golf Planète is all you need on a daily basis. For global news, Golf Digest and GOLF.com offer the most comprehensive coverage, and MyGolfSpy is a must-read before buying equipment.
