PGA Tour releases new free-to-play game with NBC Sports
“PGA Tour Pick’Em Live” will give players a chance to win up to $5000 in weekly prizes.
The PGA Tour and NBC Sports launched the “PGA Tour Pick’Em Live” within the official PGA Tour app and website. The free-to-play game was developed by Low6 and is powered by PointsBet in North America.
The game will feature guaranteed weekly prizes of up to $5,000 starting this week in anticipation of The Genesis Invitational.
Users will be able to enter the game at nearly any point during a tournament week and make selections on competitions, including overall winner, group winner and head-to-head, with the points system directly tied to live odds.
“We look forward to working with NBC Sports, PointsBet and Low6 to provide a free-to-play game for PGA Tour fans,” said Norb Gambuzza, PGA Tour Senior Vice President, Media and Gaming. “Sports betting products in golf continue to experience tremendous growth so we’re excited to provide our fans with the option to experience exciting in-play games in a free-to-play environment.”
