Each spring, the world’s top golfers gather at Augusta National Golf Club for one of the most iconic tournaments in sport: The Masters. The leaderboard is a symbol of excellence, tradition, and global attention—but behind the elegance and prestige lies an urgent call for change.

At MITI Ltd, we celebrate elite performance and iconic moments. But as champions are crowned and applause echoes across manicured fairways, we’re also asking: how sustainable is the sport we love?

The Environmental Cost of Golf

Golf is no stranger to scrutiny when it comes to sustainability. From the vast amounts of water required to maintain lush courses to the chemical treatments used on turf, the sport has an undeniable environmental footprint.

Events like The Masters only magnify this. Hosting thousands of spectators, transporting players and officials globally, and constructing temporary infrastructure all contribute to carbon emissions. The leaderboard may show who's ahead on the course—but off it, we’re falling behind in sustainability.

A New Kind of Leader

What if the leaderboard didn’t just show birdies and bogeys, but also reflected environmental impact? What if players, clubs, and organisers were ranked by their commitment to reducing waste, switching to renewable energy, or cutting down on single-use plastics?

MITI believes sustainability should be part of every game plan. Whether it's switching to bamboo tees, reusable water bottles, or eco-friendly merchandise, sport can and must do better. Champions of the future won’t just lift trophies—they’ll lead the way towards a greener planet.

Small Swings, Big Impact

Sustainability in sport isn’t just the job of the big names. Fans, clubs, and communities can all play their part. Bringing a reusable bottle to the course, supporting tournaments with eco-friendly policies, and choosing sustainable brands makes a difference.

At MITI, we’ve made it our mission to design products that don’t just perform—but protect. From our award-winning bamboo homeware to water bottles designed for durability and zero plastic waste, we’re proving that style and sustainability can go hand in hand.

The Final Score

As we watch the drama unfold at this year’s Masters, let’s take inspiration not only from the leaderboard but from the growing movement to make sport part of the climate solution.

Because real leadership—on the course and off—means stepping up for people and the planet.
