PGA Tour to introduce on-site gambling at events in 2020
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has announced that the Tour will allow on-site gambling at events in the U.S. from the beginning of next year.
Speaking to the AFP, Monahan stated
“It’s all about engagement. When done right, it gives fans the opportunity to engage with your sport over a longer period of time and have more interest in what’s happening across the entire player field.
“It’s legalized in a lot of international markets and we’ve put the right systems in place, both in terms of an integrity programme and monitoring activity. We’ve done a ton of work”
As the element of gambling and Daily Fantasy Sports sites such as DraftKings and FanDuel continues to rise in popularity, while looking to tap into the market, Monahan also explained how the Tour plans on eliminating any possibility of fixing situations and upholding integrity.
“As it is becoming legalised by state in the US, you can either participate or not, and we feel smarter to be participating… versus let others control it. Once you start to participate, you can eliminate negative bets.
“We’ve done a ton of work to make certain that that’s the position we’re in. I think when we come forward, you’ll see that we’ve taken significant steps to address that. We’re going to participate in a thoughtful way and I’m really comfortable with that.”
Exact details of what markets will be available on-site are yet to be unveiled, but according to the commissioner, the Tour plans on developing an international partnership with IMG Arena.

this is not in the spirit of the game, if players want to bet between them that’s ok but we have seen tennis, snooker and cricket plagued by deliberate poor play
like “I bet smith 3 putts the 16th ” and he does, smith misses the cut but wins more money for betting on the 3 putt, very hard to police and totally undermining the integrity of the game!
The Tiger Phil game made me feel sick by the way golf is about more than money and we should not forget that
