Steps
Recognize ShotLink, operated from PGA TOUR Headquarters, as the official live-scoring source feeding both PGATOUR.com and syndicated downstream clients
Contact ShotLink's Scoring Operations team to inquire about becoming a syndicated client, since this is a negotiated data-license relationship, not self-serve signup
Understand the modernized API framework: a RESTful architecture with OAuth2 security delivering data natively in JSON
Confirm live data-center support hours (Mon-Wed 8am-6pm ET; Thu-Sun from one hour before the first tee time to 1-2 hours after the last putt) when planning live-tournament integrations
If a direct ShotLink license isn't feasible, evaluate licensed third-party redistributors that already hold PGA Tour data agreements, rather than assuming open access
Known gotchas
ShotLink access is a commercial licensing relationship with PGA TOUR, not an open or free developer API — expect a business/legal engagement before technical onboarding
DP World Tour data access is a separate arrangement from PGA TOUR's ShotLink; one license does not automatically cover both tours
Live feed availability is tied to actual tournament data-center operating hours, so off-hours or off-season requests will not return live data
