ScoreCast Golf Tournament Software, headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, is a software development and technology company delivering solutions to the golf course and golf tournament industries benefiting the player, PGA of America professional, and course owner. 

 

The Professional Golfers’ Association of America (www.pga.com), as a key strategic partner, has designed the industry standard, the newest version of ScoreCast Golf Tournament Software – ScoreCast Golf 2004!

 

In addition, the 41 PGA of America Sections, covering the entire United States, as well as the PGA of America National Tournament Group, use ScoreCast Golf Tournament Software to manage over 4,000 PGA of America events annually, including prestigious events such as the Ryder Cup, the PGA Championship and the PGA Seniors’ Championship. The ScoreCast Golf/PGA of America relationship includes ongoing software development, support, and special benefits to the PGA of America’s 28,000 members nationwide.

 

American Golf, Arnold Palmer Golf Management, Gotham Golf Partners, and TPC courses owned and/or managed by the PGA Tour are some of the companies currently using ScoreCast Golf Tournament Software to efficiently manage their golf tournaments.

 

The ESPN National Golf Challenge (www.espngolf.com) selected ScoreCast as its Official Golf Tournament Software. ScoreCast is used exclusively by hundreds of participating golf clubs around the country.

 

The PGA of America features ScoreCast Golf Tournament Software as the exclusive tournament management software in the curriculum at Professional Golf Management (PGM) programs at leading universities such as Arizona State, Clemson, Florida State, University of Idaho, Mississippi State, New Mexico State, North Carolina, Penn State University, University of Nevada at Las Vegas, Campbell University (NC), Coastal Carolina University, and Ferris State University. ScoreCast is also the exclusive tournament software taught by The PGA of America in its Professional Golf Management Program (PGM). Together, these programs account for over 3,000 new golf professional graduates annually, and over 10,000 active students.
