Golf Monthly Expands Content Team And Announces Record E-Commerce Sales

Golf Monthly, the flagship golf title from the global leader in specialist media, Future, is once again expanding its editorial team with four exciting additions and announces record e-commerce sales on golfmonthly.com.

Golf Monthly is delighted to announce that Alison Root will be joining the staff team as Women’s Golf Editor. She brings with her a wealth of golf media experience having previously held the position of Editor at Women & Golf. She will now take on the responsibility of leading Golf Monthly’s coverage of the women’s game, helping the brand to grow its female audience in 2024 and beyond. 

On the equipment side, Joe Ferguson will be joining a growing team of reviewers led by Joel Tadman. Joe has competed on the DP World, EuroPro and Challenge Tours and as a PGA Professional has held a number of custom fitting roles, including at Precision Golf. He will now lead GM’s drivers, irons and DMD coverage.  

Golf Monthly is also pleased to announce the addition of Jonny Leighfield to the news team. He joins from the Swindon Advertiser, his home newspaper, where he led the sports desk and reported on the ins-and-outs at Swindon Town FC for almost five years. Working alongside Elliott Heath and Matt Cradock, Jonny will help deliver an ‘always-on’ approach to news coverage, further building Golf Monthly’s audience of high intent golfers and golf fans.

Completing the latest expansion of the editorial team is a new Social Media Editor. A multimedia journalism graduate and 3-handicapper, Monty McPhee (pictured above) had previously worked for Golf Monthly in a freelance capacity. Now on the staff team, his focus will be around building off-platform engagement through innovative and exciting social video story-telling.
