Peter Jones CBE has built, over the last 40 years, an enviable reputation for starting, growing and investing in businesses and, due to his appearances on Dragons’ Den and Shark Tank in the US, has become one of the world’s best known and respected entrepreneurs. He is known as “Mr Global” on Shark Tank in the US because of his interest and experience in growing businesses internationally.

Peter Jones CBE said: “Golf has always been a personal passion of mine, so acquiring American Golf feels especially meaningful. It’s a brand that truly understands golfers — from beginners to seasoned players — and has played an important role in the UK golf community for decades.”

Nigel Oddy, CEO of American Golf, commented: “Joining forces with Peter Jones and his Investment Group marks an exciting new chapter for American Golf. It will enable us to continue to accelerate our growth strategy, and further our ambition of becoming the ultimate one-stop destination for everything a golfer requires. At the same time I would like to thank Endless for their support, custodianship and investment over the past eight years.”

David Isaacs, Managing Director at Endless LLP, said: “We are incredibly proud of American Golf’s evolution over the past eight years and to see it go from strength to strength with a clear trajectory for future growth.”
