Overview

Get started with Golf v2

🚧

Alert

Please note that the current, stable version of our Golf API is v3. We suggest integrating with this version.

API Map

To best utilize the Golf API, you will need several parameters to create your API calls. The map below illustrates how you can obtain the parameters you need.

The primary feeds require only a date or year to call the endpoints. Those feeds provide Tournament Ids which can be used to access the tournament feeds.

Data Retrieval Sample

To find a pairing's tee time for a given tournament:

  1. Call the Tournament Schedule and find the Tournament Id for the chosen tournament
  2. Call the Tee Times Per Round using the Tournament Id and a chosen round number
  3. Find your chosen pairing and locate the tee_time attribute

The tee time of the pairing is displayed.
