Golf sits at a unique intersection of psychology, economics, and skill development where decisions made by players, bettors, and consumers are often shaped as much by perception as by data. This session examines how behavioral dynamics influence three critical areas of the modern golf ecosystem: betting momentum, willingness to pay for premium golf experiences, and the pathways through which professionals develop expertise and achieve certification. By connecting behavioral science with real-world market applications, the panel will uncover where decision-making diverges from rational models and where opportunity exists.
