PGA TOUR Names FanDuel as Official Betting Operator
Story Highlights
The PGA TOUR and FanDuel Group have announced a multi-year extension to their content and marketing relationship that designates FanDuel as an Official Betting Operator of the PGA TOUR.
“The PGA TOUR is excited to more deeply collaborate with our longtime partner in FanDuel, a market leader whose golf odds will now be featured on select broadcasts,” says Scott Warfield, PGA TOUR Vice President, Gaming. “We look forward to working more closely with FanDuel to bring professional golf fans more of what they like to see in TOUR presentations.”
The new agreement, through 2027, will see FanDuel become the official odds provider on the PGA TOUR’s app and website. Additionally, FanDuel for the first time will work to enhance the storytelling of select broadcasts through live odds integrations.
“We are proud of our continued collaboration with the PGA TOUR and are committed to offering golf fans new and innovative ways to engage with their favorite players through our robust golf offering,” says Karol Corcoran, Senior Vice President and General Manager of FanDuel Sportsbook. “As another exciting season gets underway, we look forward to continuing to enhance the watch and wager experience for our customers.”
The PGA TOUR and FanDuel, which also hold a long-term market access partnership in North Carolina, will continue to collaborate on delivering odds-based content to fans via the TOUR’s social media accounts, with new social and digital assets on TOUR platforms to be unveiled in the coming weeks. As part of the TOUR’s Official Betting Operator program, FanDuel has rights in the United States and Canada to use PGA TOUR marks, rights to advertise within TOUR media and TOUR partner platforms, plus content and video rights allowing FanDuel to create pre-game and post-game betting programming, as well as distribution of highlights to FanDuel bettors and through FanDuel social media accounts.
PGA TOUR marks will soon be featured in new co-branded casino games on FanDuel Casino, a mobile gaming app that allows 21+ customers to play the most popular slot games, online blackjack games, table games, online baccarat and live dealer casino games right at players’ fingertips.
