AM GOLF has been chosen to power the AMPTour, bringing advanced live scoring and leaderboard capabilities to multiple, two-day tournaments across Florida in 2026.
Through the AM GOLF app, elite competitors can track their performance in real time, hole by hole, while monitoring their rankings in the AMPTour standings.
Beyond scoring, the app provides live streaming and social features, allowing players to engage directly with peers and fans.
For AMPTour management, AM GOLF serves as a highly efficient communication and operational platform, enabling staff to connect with members and spectators while saving considerable time to focus on tournament marketing, logistics, and other business initiatives.
This unified approach to tournament operations was a key factor in AMPTour’s selection of AM GOLF over other established platforms, such as Golf Genius Software.
While Golf Genius is a well-known leader in tournament and league management with robust scoring and scheduling capabilities, AM GOLF was selected for offering a more integrated solution that combines player-facing engagement, live scoring, leaderboard tracking, and event operations on a single platform.
This all-in-one ecosystem aligns with AMPTour’s objectives of providing a seamless experience for both competitors and organizers.
Standing out among statewide competitions, the AMPTour features a high-stakes, 64-player, match-play, single-elimination format reminiscent of March Madness brackets.
Competitors vie for $25,000 in prize money, with two players advancing to the Championship and the top 16 golfers earning payouts along the way.
Tournament sites include the prestigious Lakewood National and the PGA TOUR event host Innisbrook Copperhead Course, providing both competitive challenge and iconic course settings.
By integrating AM GOLF into its operations, the AMPTour combines cutting-edge technology with elite golf competition, delivering an enhanced experience for players, fans, and tournament organizers alike while maximizing operational efficiency.
