It has been recently announced that DraftKings is going to be the official betting operator for two golf tournaments.
DraftKings would make available the DraftKings House, which is the hospitality suite, for both the tournaments, The Northern Trust and World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational. The suites would be open for public with TVs, Wi-Fi, phones etc.
As per Gambling Insider, DraftKings Executive Director, Darrell Smith, said: “When the State of Tennessee legalised sports betting in the state last November, it opened the door for a number of new business opportunities in the sports industry.
“With the existing relationship between DraftKings and the PGA Tour, integrating them into the Memphis market at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational was an easy decision. We’re excited to be one of the first PGA Tour events to offer a public venue setting in this category.
“This sponsorship adds another on-site experience that caters to a variety of fans and we look forward to debuting it as we welcome the world’s best golfers return back to Memphis.”
Ezra Kucharz, DraftKings Chief Business Officer, added: “DraftKings is proud to evolve and expand our presence into the golf space by continuing to build upon the existing relationship with the PGA Tour. We look forward to providing fans an unapparelled experience at Liberty National and TPC Southwind.”
