"The world championship has taken place since 1999 in Uummannaq, Greenland. " The World Ice Golf Championship is held almost 600 km north of the Arctic Circle, on the west coast of Greenland in the little town of Uummannaq. From December through to May, the fjord leading in to Uummannaq is covered by a metre-thick sheet of ice. Huge icebergs containing thousand-year-old ice lie frozen in the fjord, caught by the freeze on their journey out towards the open sea." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ice Golf:** Opportunity for businesses to create innovative equipment and technologies for playing golf on ice. - **Arctic Tourism:** Potential for businesses to offer unique travel experiences and services in remote Arctic locations. - **Greenland Sports Events:** Businesses can explore opportunities to organize and sponsor sporting events in Greenland, attracting tourists and promoting the destination. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sports Equipment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to develop specialized golf equipment suitable for playing on ice. - **Travel and Tourism:** Industry players can tap into Arctic tourism, providing travel packages and services for adventurous travelers interested in unique experiences. - **Event Management:** Opportunity for event management companies to expand into organizing and promoting unique sporting events in remote locations like Greenland. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaboration Golf Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wmpo-green-dream.md) - [Elaborate Winter Activities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-city-of-harbin.md) - [Geography-Based Esports Competitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geoguessr.md) - [Exclusivity-Challenging Golf Events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-town.md) - [Iced Car Showrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iced-car-showroom.md) - [Online Multiplayer Game Championships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mythic-dungeon-international.md) - [Grass-Roots Golf Gatherings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/links-social-tour.md) - [Golf-Themed Hotel Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hilton.md) - [Whisky Shooter Golf Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fireball-fire-iron.md)
