PGA Tour and FanDuel agree on multi-year extension
The PGA Tour and FanDuel announced a new agreement that designates FanDuel as an official betting operator. Through a multi-year extension with the PGA Tour for their content and marketing relationship, FanDuel will become the official odds provider on the PGA Tour’s app and website.
“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,” PGA Tour vice president of gaming Scott Warfield said. This partnership brings FanDuel closer to the PGA Tour and golf bettors.
In addition to providing odds for the PGA Tour’s site and app, FanDuel will use live odds integration to enhance the storytelling of chosen broadcasts. The new agreement is a multi-year extension that will keep the PGA Tour and FanDuel partnered through 2027.
“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,” senior vice president and general manager of FanDuel Karol Corcoran said.
