SAN
DIEGO, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Troon®, the leader in golf and club-related leisure and hospitality
services, and SKINS, the cutting-edge golf app revolutionizing
on-course betting games for golfers, announced a new
partnership. The partnership between Troon and SKINS marks a
significant milestone in the recreational and competitive golf
world, promising to enhance the gaming experience on the course for
golfers globally.
"Partnering with Troon marks a key moment
for SKINS and our mission to enhance the enjoyment, accessibility
and ease of use for golf games," said Ryan
Morrison, CEO and Founder of SKINS.
As part of this collaboration, SKINS will be designated as a
"Preferred Partner of Troon," significantly boosting the app's
exposure across Troon's expansive global portfolio of properties
and helping to drive SKINS's core business. In addition to
the United States, SKINS is
already available in key global golf markets including the
United Kingdom, Australia, Asia and South
Africa.
"Partnering with Troon marks a key moment for SKINS and our
mission to enhance the enjoyment, accessibility and ease of use for
golf games," said Ryan Morrison, CEO
and Founder of SKINS. "This collaboration will enhance the
competitive and leisure gaming experience for golfers globally,
bringing our cutting-edge app to a wider audience through Troon's
expansive network of properties. We are excited to continue
transforming and modernizing on-course golf betting
games to elevate the social experience for players around the
world."
The SKINS team views the competitive landscape of golf apps as
validation of the market's potential. Their focus extends from
local competition and leaderboards to the intersection of
competitive amateur golf and social media. By enabling golfers to
invite others to watch their rounds and share match content, SKINS
aims to enhance the social experience of golf.
The ethos of SKINS is about truly gamifying the sport of golf,
especially during typical leisure play. Morrison views SKINS as an
advancement of the scorecard, which became obsolete after the mass
adoption of the smartphone. Players will now track their game and
rank as well as communicate to each other within the app through
SKINS' social scorecard.
The company's genesis stems from Morrison's passion for golf and
the competitive betting camaraderie experienced with
friends while playing. Seeing a void in the market for a product to
service on-course betting functionality, Morrison set
out on an endeavor to craft a highly responsive app that remains
seamless for small and large groups of golfers. The result was
SKINS, which solves common problems faced by golfers and their
groups including:
- Deciding which game to play with an unlimited number of
participants
- Understanding the rules
- Tracking game progress through leaderboards and other
features
- Allowing golfers to track standings and game bets in real
time
- Ensuring fair play and accurate scorekeeping
- Live tournament play
- GPS course location and course search
- Separate group games during tournament play such as WOLF
- Seamless invitations to friends joining
Available on both iOS and Android, SKINS simplifies score entry
and bet tracking, making it easy to start a round with friends or
even strangers waiting to tee off. The app uses GPS to locate
nearby players and courses, guides players through game options,
calculates course handicaps, and features a user-friendly interface
for score entry and bet accounting. The real-time leaderboard shows
wins and losses, and integrates with Venmo and other cash apps for
seamless settlement.
