Contact PGA TOUR Support

Every major tournament has an app that updates quickly, rarely force quits, and contains meaningful content for golf fans. The most reliable elements of the PGA Tour app are that you can guarantee it will force quit, you can guarantee the leaderboard will be incredibly far behind, and you can guarantee the user experience will be clunky at best. With as much money as the tour pulls in it would be incredibly easy to improve this app to at least compete with the apps dedicated to the majors. Unfortunately, this app being an afterthought is just another indication (along with their avoidance of any hint of conflict, their unimaginative tournament formats, and their pricing the new media contract so high that Networks have to flood the broadcast with commercials to be able to afford it) that the tour couldn’t care less about the fan experience.

When you open the app, it takes forever to load. Long enough you’ll close it most times before using it. Half the time the live updates are 10 min late. The shot tracker is glitchy and often doesn’t even work, always requiring you to click the player’s name on and off to update to the next shot. Kind of embarrassing how bad this app is considering how much money they have and it’s the only one in existence. Pretty useless if you ask me. Plenty of other sports apps can do what it does, but work way faster. I guess the PGA tour is spending all their time making sure the boiled hot dogs and disgusting sandwiches at their events stay crappy.

I hate giving this app a 1 star because it used to be beautiful. When I open the app "a newer version available that requires an update" box pops up, but when I click on the box to agree with wanting to update the app it then takes me to the Apple App Store where everything appears to be up to date. In short, there is no update to download. So needless to say, this causes a vicious cycle of uselessness. I've read other reviews on this page that are referring to this very problem as well. This used to be a great app and probably still is if I could actually update it and use it again for all of my PGA scoring needs :-)
