Form Board

A live golf companion that tracks every player's form, cut-line pressure, and storyline arc across PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and majors — with AI commentary you can listen to while the round plays out.

Target user

Golf fans who follow tour events week-to-week and want richer context than a leaderboard gives them

Features
  • Live 'form meter' per player based on last 12 rounds, SG: stats, and surface fit
  • AI round-by-round narrative: 'Scheffler's streak ends, McIlroy quietly in control' delivered as push + audio
  • Cut-line projection that updates shot-by-shot and flags when a star is in danger of missing the weekend
  • 'Open prep mode' that aggregates form data going into the year's final major
Why now

The Scottish Open cut-line drama — Scheffler's first missed weekend in four years and McIlroy's quiet 66 — is exactly the kind of storyline fans want unpacked while the round is still on TV, not in a recap the next morning.

Demand
4/10

Golf ranks among top 10 sports watched via live streaming (14% of fans), and the 2026 Scottish Open storyline drove real news demand (BBC, CBS, Sportsnet all covered Scheffler's missed-cut streak ending) — but it's still a niche sport compared to mainstream leagues.Golf Industry Statistics By Demographics and Facts [2024*]Scottish Open 2026: Scottie Scheffler misses first cut in four years - BBC

Whitespace
2/10

Critical whitespace problem: PGA TOUR's own app already offers real-time leaderboards, play-by-play, 3D shot tracking, and TOURCAST shipped generative AI shot commentary with AWS at The Players Championship 2025 — the exact feature idea is being built by the rights holder. The Masters already runs IBM-powered AI commentary and CaddieCaster targets AI golf commentary for simulators.PGA TOURCAST Adds New AI Commentary Feature - Michael LoRéPGA TOUR Mobile App - PGATOUR.COMTOURCAST adds innovation with AI commentary in partnership with AWS

Monetization
5/10

TOURCAST already runs paid subscriptions and the broader sports app market is growing at 10.9% CAGR toward $8B by 2030, with the golf market at $16.7B in 2026. However, competing for paid subscribers against the free official PGA Tour app with first-party data access is a steep uphill battle.Sports App Market Size, Share And Growth Report, 2030Golf Market Share & Trends [2035]

Longevity
6/10

Golf has a long season across PGA, DP World, and majors giving year-round relevance, and storyline/arc tracking is evergreen content. However, AI commentary is on a fast commoditization curve — the PGA Tour's AWS partnership and Masters/IBM deployment mean this feature is being absorbed into official products rapidly.PGA Tour rolling out generative AI commentary on Tourcast product

Feasibility
5/10

Real-time shot-level data is gated by expensive ShotLink licensing that the PGA Tour controls and preferentially routes to its own TOURCAST and AWS partnership; building a multi-tour narrative engine is technically tractable but the data-acquisition moat is owned by the incumbents.TOURCAST Information - PGA TOUR
