PGA Tour Rise is an upcoming interactive golf game that incorporates blockchain technology.
Designed for both mobile devices and web browsers, the game will feature real-time competitive gameplay on famous golf courses, where players can compete to climb the leaderboards while earning in-game currency, known as “Rise Bucks,” which can be used to upgrade their gear and characters.
The game will also allow players to collect and trade digital assets, including golf equipment and nft memorabilia.
“The TOUR looks forward to working alongside Stratton Studios and Chain Games to continue connecting and engaging with golf enthusiasts and players alike,” said Matt Iofredo, PGA Tour senior vice president of licensing and marketing. “By integrating web3 technology into golf games through our collaboration with these two innovative organizations, we are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in sports gaming.”

A series of minigames will be introduced before the full release in 2026, starting with the first one planned for late 2024.
While details of the first minigame have not been revealed, the announcement suggests several possibilities, including hole-in-one challenges, precision putting contests, and long drive competitions.
