Confidence in the Golf Industry Fuels Capital Investment

In early 2022, KemperSports, one of the largest golf management companies in the US, decided to seek capital to facilitate the company’s strategic growth trajectory. As a family-owned company, KemperSports has historically relied on its own financial resources to fund its growth.

KemperSports looked to Seyfarth’s corporate team to manage this transaction and guide them in their first foray into capital investment.

With a trio of outside investors, the deal involved a multi-level restructuring and meaningful investments by existing ownership. Seyfarth’s cross-disciplinary team collaborated across various facets of the matter, including M&A, tax, real estate, antitrust and labor & employment. The investment transaction size is confidential.

KemperSports’ chairman Steve Lesnik, as quoted in Golf Inc. Magazine said, “In the past, we’ve self-funded, but we have a lot of confidence in the golf industry and we felt it was time to team up with capital that will enable us to be more active.”

Seyfarth is proud to share KemperSports’ passion for golf and to support its mission to help grow the game through this transaction.
