Apple has added live professional golf to its free Apple Sports app, giving iPhone users real-time scores, leaderboards, and player stats from PGA Tour and LPGA Tour events.

Golf joins Apple’s sports lineup

Apple announced the update on February 4, expanding Apple Sports’ coverage beyond team sports to include men’s and women’s pro golf. The app now shows hole-by-hole scoring, individual scorecards, and live leaderboards across tour events, Apple said.

MacRumors reported that the rollout covers official PGA Tour and LPGA Tour tournaments, letting fans track every round as it unfolds without switching apps.

What fans will see

The golf update brings the same fast, glanceable experience Apple Sports uses for other leagues. Users can follow round progress, position changes on the leaderboard, and player performance in near real time.

Apple said the features also extend to widgets and Live Activities, so scores can appear on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island while tournaments are in progress.

Why it matters

Golf has been one of the most requested additions since Apple Sports launched. Adding it gives the app year-round relevance—especially during weeks when major tours are in action—and makes Apple Sports a more complete alternative to dedicated score-tracking apps.

AppleInsider noted that bringing in both tours broadens the app’s appeal, allowing fans to follow men’s and women’s professional golf side by side with football, basketball, soccer, and other leagues already supported.

What’s next

Alongside golf, Apple continues to expand Apple Sports with more competitions and deeper live data across sports, including recent enhancements for soccer cups and tennis. Apple has signaled it will keep widening coverage as the app grows.

For now, golf fans can open Apple Sports and track every swing—starting with current tour events—without leaving Apple’s ecosystem.

The update positions Apple Sports as a more comprehensive hub for live sports tracking, especially as interest in both men’s and women’s professional golf continues to grow worldwide.
