History Mark McCormack, was a former lawyer and agent for
professional athletes.
In his youth, McCormack was a good amateur golfer, but not good enough to become professional.
He was friends with Arnold Plamer.
He reasoned out that an athlete such as Palmer could bring sports to a totally different level of popularity and profitability.
Made an agreement with Palmer.
Around 1966, McCormack decided to expand the company.

History Later on, IMG decided to start investing in event
management and ownership.
It founded a golf course division, a television division and it created a consulting business.
In the 80s, IMG also developed a money management division.
A few years later, IMG added clients from other
industries.
