A mobile app where golf fans pick a player and get one dashboard: every tournament on that player's schedule, tee times, pairings, ticket links and a live leaderboard pinned to that one player.

Target user

avid recreational golf fans who follow a specific tour pro and want to attend events in person

Features
  • Player-centric feed: schedule, recent form, injury and equipment news
  • Tournament ticket alert the moment your favorite commits to a smaller event
  • Pairings and tee-time push notifications on the morning of play
  • 'Best events to attend' planner ranking tournaments by field strength vs travel cost
Why now

Scheffler's 3M Open debut drove a 25-30% ticket-sales spike, proving fans respond sharply to player-commitment news at non-major events, and no app currently centers the player instead of the tournament.
