Integration Scenarios

Integration Scenarios are task-focused guides that walk through building a specific golf feature end to end: which feeds to call, in what order, and how to handle the edge cases. Each one assumes the vocabulary in Fundamentals and the request basics in API Basics.

If you are not sure where to start, use the matrix below.

The Scenarios

Scenario	What you build
Pulling Tournament Schedules	A season calendar, and the `tournament.id` values that drive every other feed
Retrieving Player Details and Statistics	Player profiles, season statistics, and world rankings (with the non-PGA fallback)
Tracking Live Tournaments	A live leaderboard and hole-by-hole scoring during play
Tracking Playoffs	Detection and display of extra-hole playoffs
Monitoring Team Events	Rosters, sessions, and standings for cup events (Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup)
Monitoring Data Changes	Efficient incremental updates driven by the Daily Change Log

Two cross-cutting references support all of these: the Tournament Status Workflow page (status semantics) and Update Frequencies (polling cadence). For past seasons, see Historical Data.

Where to Start by Use Case

If you are building...	Start with	Then add
Live tracking (leaderboards, scoring)	Tracking Live Tournaments	Tracking Playoffs, Push, Tournament Status Workflow
Player and stats products (profiles, fantasy)	Retrieving Player Details and Statistics	Pulling Tournament Schedules, Monitoring Data Changes
Historical research	Historical Data	Pulling Tournament Schedules, Retrieving Player Details and Statistics
Team events (Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup)	Monitoring Team Events	Tracking Live Tournaments, Tournament Status Workflow
Broadcast or low-latency	Push	Tracking Live Tournaments, Update Frequencies
Efficient data sync	Monitoring Data Changes	Update Frequencies

Before You Build

Resolve a tour and season from the Seasons feed first; almost every scenario starts there.
Read the Tournament Status Workflow page so your state handling is correct from the start.
Size your polling against Update Frequencies, and prefer Push for live data where you are entitled.
