SAN DIEGO, CA – October 22, 2022 – iGolf is excited to partner with The Skins App, an on-course golf gaming platform designed to make the competitive side of golf easier to organize, score, and enjoy. Through the partnership, The Skins App will integrate iGolf’s industry-leading golf course data into its platform, providing accurate course information to support the scoring and game experience for golfers using the app.

The Skins App is built around a simple idea: golfers should be able to enjoy their favorite games without spending the round managing complicated scoring and calculations. Players enter their strokes and the app handles the underlying game logic, allowing groups to focus on the competition rather than the math. The platform offers an extensive library of more than 50 golf games and formats, including Skins, Banker, Nassau, Vegas, Wolf, Hammer, Quota, Stableford, Match Play, Sixes, Ryder Cup, Scramble, and many others, with customizable settings that allow groups to configure games around the way they traditionally play.

Beyond individual games, The Skins App is designed to manage the complexity that comes with competitive rounds. Real-time leaderboards keep players informed throughout play, while layered games allow golfers to run multiple competitions simultaneously. The platform manages scoring and game calculations as the round progresses and helps players determine results at the end of play. The company’s focus on simplifying everything surrounding friendly competition has created an experience centered on its straightforward philosophy: golfers can enjoy the games while Skins handles the math.

By pairing these capabilities with iGolf’s database of more than 40,000 mapped golf courses across 177 countries, The Skins App gains a trusted course-data foundation for its on-course experience. Accurate course and hole information provides essential context when setting up and scoring rounds, while iGolf’s global coverage creates a scalable foundation as The Skins App continues expanding the games and competitive experiences available to its community.

The partnership reflects a natural alignment between iGolf’s course intelligence and The Skins App’s focus on making golf more social and competitive. Golf has a long tradition of groups creating their own games, formats, presses, and side competitions, and The Skins App translates that experience into a modern digital platform. With its extensive game library and ability to customize formats, the app allows golfers to preserve the traditions of their regular games while eliminating much of the manual work required to administer them.

“Some of the best parts of golf are the games and friendly competition that happen within the round, and The Skins App has built an impressive platform around making that experience easier for golfers. Their extensive library of games and ability to manage the calculations behind them allows players to focus on the competition rather than the scorecard. We’re excited to provide the trusted course information that supports that experience and to partner with The Skins App as they continue finding new ways to gamify the game of golf,” said Ryan Kimberling, Vice President of Sales & Strategy at iGolf.
