Golf & Life Insurance
Do you enjoy playing golf in your free time?
Do you play in the great outdoors or in indoor golf driving ranges, simulators, or have golf lessons? However you enjoy your golfing hobby, being fit and active is always seen as positive by insurers so they will look favourably on your application.
To find the best insurer for you our advisers will ask you:
- How often do you play golf?
- Do you take part in competitions?
- Do you play golf in the UK or abroad?
- Have you had any golf related injuries?
You are likely to find that normal terms are offered on life insurance if you are playing golf as a hobby. This means that there are no premium increases or exclusions on the policy. If you take part in competitions you will find that our professional golf players page is useful to look at.
Any recent injuries that you’ve had, shouldn’t be a problem for life insurance, but if you have any outstanding tests or if you have any surgeries to go through, this may delay when your insurance can start.
When you apply for life insurance we will also ask about your medical history and your family’s medical history, as this can help us choose the right insurer for your circumstances.
Our award winning advisers will find the best life insurance to meet your needs.
Golf & Critical Illness Cover
Critical illness cover pays out a cash lump sum of money, if you are diagnosed with a medical condition that is listed in the insurer’s claims set e.g. cancer, heart attack, stroke.
Critical illness cover is a valuable insurance to have and your golfing shouldn’t have any influence on your options for this insurance.
We will ask you if you’ve had any injuries as a result of playing golf, as well as how often you play it and where you play it. We also need to know some details about your health and your family medical history to make sure that the right insurer is chosen for you from the start.
Our expert advisers will find the right insurer and best critical illness policy to match you and your hobby.
Golf & Income Protection
Income protection pays you a replacement of your monthly income, if you are unable to work due to ill health.
Income Protection should be straightforward to arrange. Playing golf can sometimes cause injuries and it’s important to let us know early on if you have had any injuries, back pain, muscle strains.
You can find that insurer will exclude claims relating to areas of the body that have had injuries in the past few years, so talking about it early on means that we can give you a clear idea of what will be available. An exclusion doesn’t sound great, but it is sometimes possible to review your policy at specific times to get these kinds of exclusions removed.
Our advisers will make sure that you are offered the best terms possible for income protection.
Golf & Healthy Living
There are some insurance policies that allow you to earn rewards and reduce your policy premium, if you are fit and active. Being a golf player is a perfect match to the way that the insurer monitors your fitness levels, so that you can access these benefits.

Golf & Travel Insurance
Are you planning on taking part in golf competitions abroad? It’s a good idea to check if your travel insurance covers sporting activities without exclusions. We recommend consulting a specialised travel insurance broker for detailed guidance. Visit our travel insurance page for additional information.
