PointsBet USA is an Official Betting Operator of the PGA TOUR and acquiring the Golf Event Centre will be a dynamic addition to its golf offering that will allow them to grow and distinguish themselves in the marketplace,” Scott Warfield, Vice President of Gaming at the PGA TOUR, said.
To further meet the demand of the golf betting community, PointsBet users will have access to a player leaderboard, updating in real time and will have the ability to favorite players to move to the top of the leaderboard to easily access and monitor hole performance. Additionally, bettors can utilize live data and statistics, including course and hole maps and shot-by-shot data for every player on the course, to best inform their betting selections for key pro golf events, such as the Majors, THE PLAYERS Championship, Presidents Cup, FedExCup Playoffs, and Ryder Cup.
PointsBet users will also have the option to watch live streaming from two par-3 holes per tournament all within the app.

Play’n GO granted Alberta iGaming licence, expanding Canadian market footprint
The Swedish gaming giant confirms its entry into another regulated market, with its industry-leading portfolio of games set to launch in Alberta.
Play’n GO, one of the world’s leading casino entertainment providers, has been granted a licence to supply online gaming content in the Canadian province of Alberta, marking another milestone in the company’s expansion across regulated North American markets.
The licence, awarded by the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis Commission (AGLC), allows the company to offer its portfolio of premium online casino titles to licensed operators in the province ahead of Alberta’s planned market launch later this year.
Alberta represents an important new regulated opportunity within Canada, complementing Play’n GO’s established presence in Ontario and Quebec, while reinforcing the company’s commitment to operating exclusively in regulated jurisdictions.
Magnus Olsson said: “Being granted a licence in Alberta is another important step in our North American growth journey and further strengthens our presence in Canada.
