골프 콘텐츠 정보의 신뢰성에 대한 골프 선수들의 인식 탐색

Abstract

This study aimed to explore how professional golfers perceive and experience the informativeness of golf content and to uncover its essential meaning. To achieve this, we employed phenomenological data analysis, a qualitative approach. Six professional golfers (four men and two women) were selected through snowball sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews from June to July 2025. The analysis revealed three categories: first, credibility judgment; second, information necessity; and third, personal experience. These findings expand upon the general perspective of previous research on golf content credibility, suggesting the meaning of credibility within the context of professional golfers. They also suggest that combining objectivity in content information with on-site experience is a key strategy for establishing trust.
