Case Study

Fan engagement… in any language.

Major golf tournaments need more than a static website. Fans on site want live scores, something to play, and a reason to stay engaged between holes. We worked with another development company to deliver a multilingual fan platform for a high-profile golf event.

  • Project status: Complete

The challenge

Spectators at a multi-day tournament need a single place for live scoring and on-site engagement - without relying on slow updates or disconnected apps.

The platform also had to support real-time tour data feeds, interactive games during play, admin control of schedule and scoring, and audiences across English, Arabic and Chinese.

Our approach

We worked with another development company to ship the event platform under tournament deadlines - pairing live scoring from an official tour data feed with fan-facing games, rewards and big-screen leaderboards.

Work covered both the Next.js front end and Express/MongoDB services, with Firebase auth and a themeable UI built for the event’s brand and languages.

The solution

Together we delivered a Next.js + Express fan engagement platform backed by MongoDB and Firebase, with automated tournament score ingestion and rich on-site experiences.

  • Near real-time tournament scoring from an official tour API
  • Fan leaderboards, results and big-screen display modes
  • Interactive games: hole/team voting, back-nine challenges, QR hunt and quiz
  • Multilingual UI (English, Arabic, Chinese) with admin tools for a multi-day event

The outcome

Fans had a live, playable companion for tournament week - scoring and engagement in one place, in their language.

  • Live scores and leaderboards instead of waiting on delayed updates
  • On-site games and rewards that kept spectators involved between holes
  • Ops-friendly admin tooling for a multi-day event

The platform was delivered for tournament week through a collaborative build with another development company.
