Apple has expanded the Apple Sports app to include golf, giving iPhone users a powerful new way to follow professional golf tournaments throughout the year. With this update, golf is now one of the many sports tracked in Apple Sports alongside major leagues and competitions — directly on your iPhone with live scores, hole-by-hole results, and leaderboards.
Golf Coverage Comes to Apple Sports
For years, golf fans have used a mix of third-party apps and websites to track tournaments. Now Apple Sports delivers that information in a single, streamlined place on your iPhone. The app provides real-time scoring for official PGA Tour and LPGA Tour events — including each round’s results, player positions, and hole-specific details.
This year’s season begins with early events such as the WM Phoenix Open, and as the schedule progresses, users can follow every major tournament with up-to-the-minute updates. By placing golf side by side with football, basketball, soccer, and more, Apple Sports turns your iPhone into a hub for everything happening in professional athletics.
Golf Fans Get Hole-By-Hole Tracking
One of the most valuable new tools for golf lovers is hole-by-hole tracking. Instead of only seeing a player’s total score, Apple Sports breaks down performance on each hole throughout the tournament. This gives a clearer picture of how a player is performing in real time and highlights the swings that make golf so compelling.
Alongside hole results, leaderboards show how players stack up against each other, and you can follow individual scorecards across rounds. Whether you’re tracking your favorite players or just watching the leaderboard change, this level of detail brings golf to life on your iPhone screen.
Live Activities and Real-Time Updates
A key strength of the Apple Sports app is Live Activities — small, dynamic updates that appear on your iPhone Lock Screen and Apple Watch during live events. With golf now included, Live Activities can display key moments, score changes, and leaderboard shifts without requiring you to open the app.
This means you can keep an eye on crucial swings, final-round pressure shots, and major leaderboard changes with a glance. For fans who follow golf while multitasking or on the go, this feature makes live play feel much more connected to your daily life.
Customize Your Sports Experience
Apple Sports allows you to personalize your home view within the app. You can choose which sports, leagues, and events you follow most closely. With golf added, it’s easy to keep tee times, round progress, and favorite players front and center.
Events are grouped by sport, and intuitive controls let you reorder them to suit your interests. Whether you’re tracking golf alongside soccer, tennis, or basketball, the app keeps all the scores you care about in one easy-to-navigate place.
Widgets and Sharing
The Apple Sports app also includes Home Screen widgets that show live scores and upcoming schedules at a glance. For golf, this means quick access to current tournament status, round scores, and player highlights without opening the app.
Game Card Sharing lets you send updates with real-time scores and stats to friends via Messages and other apps. This makes it simple to share exciting tournament moments or rally friends around a dramatic final round.
Golf in the Palm of Your Hand
Adding golf to Apple Sports completes a long-awaited gap for many fans. With real-time scores, leaderboards, hole-by-hole results, Live Activities, and widgets, iPhone users can follow golf tournaments like never before — without relying on multiple apps or sources.
Whether you’re tracking your favorite PGA or LPGA players or just keeping an eye on tournament progress, Apple Sports brings everything you need into a unified, elegant app that fits in your pocket.
