Apple’s sports tracking app has just gotten a major expansion for fans of golf. The Apple Sports app for iPhone now includes coverage of golf tournaments, giving users the ability to follow live scores, hole-by-hole tracking, and leaderboards for all major events.
Originally launched with support for other major sports, Apple Sports has become a go-to destination for real-time updates, stats, and quick access to game action. With this update, that experience now extends to both PGA Tour and LPGA Tour events, including the biggest tournaments of the year.
Live Golf Coverage Built Into iPhone
Golf fans using Apple Sports can follow every official PGA and LPGA event starting with this weekend’s WM Phoenix Open. The app provides:
- Real-time scores for every player and every round
- Hole-by-hole results
- Individual scorecards
- Live leaderboards that update throughout each tournament
All of this is presented in a clean, iPhone-optimized interface with simple navigation and personalized favorites, so you can quickly see updates for the golfers you care about most.
In addition to golf, the latest update expands coverage of European soccer, including competitions like DFB-Pokal, Coupe de France, Coppa Italia, and Copa del Rey. That means soccer fans get more leagues and cups to follow right alongside golf and other major sports.
Seamless Integration With iOS Features
Apple Sports works with built-in iPhone and Apple Watch features, including Live Activities that deliver real-time updates directly to your Lock Screen and watch face. You can even share live scorecards and game cards with friends through social apps, making it easier to celebrate big moments as they happen.
The app itself is free to download from the App Store and is available in over 40 countries for iPhones running iOS 17.2 or later. Availability and specific features may vary by region.
What This Means for Fans
Golf has historically been one of the most followed sports in the world, with millions tuning into majors like The Masters, the PGA Championship, and the U.S. Open each year. Adding golf to Apple Sports gives iPhone users a simple way to keep up with their favorite players and tournaments without switching between multiple apps or subscriptions.
This move also positions Apple Sports as a more complete sports hub for fans of many different games, from football and basketball to golf and European soccer competitions.
