TOURPulse is an evolution of the PGA TOUR leaderboard that combines traditional scoring with artificial intelligence-created content that gives followers real-time descriptions of every shot by each player on the leaderboard.

Pulse made its debut in round one of THE NORTHERN TRUST at TPC Boston on Thursday, August 20.

With TOURPulse, fans can create a feed for their favourite player (s) and re-follow any round at any point during a tournament. Pulse will also feature threaded events that assemble all content associated with each individual hole for the same player to make it easier to follow. Pulse is available on the PGA TOUR’s mobile app and mobile web.

“We are always looking for new and innovative ways to reach fans in a creative and entertaining way,” said Scott Gutterman, PGA TOUR Senior Vice President Digital Operations. “TOURPulse is a combination of our traditional leaderboard with features you’d find on Twitter and Instagram. Pulse allows the TOUR to create a more robust and interactive platform for our fans that will eventually include features such as reacting to your favourite content with likes and emojis as well as new content types that will give fans an exciting platform to follow the play of the best golfers in the world.”

Whilst TOURPulse has innovative ways for the PGA Tour leaderboard, we at FORE also have our innovative ways of providing our event hosts and participants with a number of features as apart of our livescoring feature. Whilst livrescoring obviously allows players to keep track of their progress and their competition, it also provides event sponsors with the opportunity to advertise on the app as players flick between pages and menu options. This has been a revolutionary step in amateur golf and with the challenges of COVID-19 playing their part in the game, the FORE livescoring feature omits any need to contact between plays as everything is handled digitally.
