BetMGM sportsbook features first FedExCup futures market
The operator is the first in the US to offer this market to PGA fans.
BetMGM’s sportsbook has offered golf fans a long-term futures market on the PGA TOUR and its FedExCup long race. The addition of this feature brings the TOUR to a level playing field with other major sports brands, including the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL.
Up until now, BetMGM has not featured a long-term futures market within the PGA TOUR and is the first major US operator to do so. The new market will open between weekly tournaments.
BetMGM Head of Partnerships Kyle Wachtel commented: “Our partnership with the PGA TOUR was founded with innovation in mind, and we’re proud to be among the first operators to offer futures markets for the FedExCup.
“Through BetMGM, golf fans can now add even more excitement to the race for the TOUR Championship, where our favorite golfers will compete for the event’s largest prize purse ever.”
BetMGM recently launched casino games from its National Hockey League (NHL) brand. The release followed a newly formed partnership between BetMGM and the NHL.
The league began collaborating with both BetMGM and FanDuel after Ontario opened its commercial market this spring.
TOUR Vice President of Gaming Scott Warfield said: “Expanding the portfolio of engagement options for sports bettors is a priority for the PGA TOUR so we’re grateful partners like BetMGM continue to innovate and offer golf fans a unique betting experience.”
BetMGM, along with its parent company MGM Resorts, has recently joined the American Gaming Association and became an official partner of its “Have A Game Plan. Bet Responsibly” campaign. Throughout its social media platforms, the company offered players tips and educational resources regarding responsible gambling during September’s Responsible Gaming Education Month.
