Golf Event Center uses ShotLink, the PGA Tour’s shot-tracking system, to provide in-play betting props. ShotLink tracks real-time data on each shot through walking scorers, lasers, and cameras placed on-site at tournaments. IMG Arena signed an exclusive betting data rights deal in 2018 with the PGA Tour.
