The premium golf title is to become a quarterly periodical from autumn 2016.
Golf International aims to be distinct from all other golfing titles on the market, and offer the discerning golfer an in-depth and quality read.
The content will be "rich, timeless and truly international in terms of subject matter."
The new quarterly Golf International will pair quality writing and design with bespoke photography.
The title is now wholly owned by Sports Publications, whom also publish the UK's highest circulating golf magazine National Club Golfer.
Richard Simmons remains the only editor that Golf International has ever had.
Dan Murphy, editorial director at Sports Publications, said: We think there is an opportunity to differentiate Golf International from the rest of the golfing media and offer a truly exceptional product on a quarterly basis. We are confident there is a niche but viable market out there for readers who value a truly luxury golf magazine.
Unfortunately, we felt the eight-issues- a-year model was neither regular enough for a mainstream title nor did it allow us the time to create a product of which we are truly proud.
Continuing the legacy that Richard has created will be at the forefront of my mind Golf International is respected and admired by just about every serious golfer I talk to.
We congratulate Richard and Pete on creating a magazine that will be fondly remembered and we wish them all the best for the future, along with Jake Ulrich whose support was pivotal to the titles success in the 1990s and 2000s,
Sports Publications acquired the title in spring 2015.
