Golf is finally teeing off on your iPhone! Apple Sports, the app that's been keeping fans globally connected to their favorite teams and athletes, has just swung into action with comprehensive support for golf tournaments. This is huge news for golf enthusiasts who have been waiting for their favorite sport to get the same dedicated attention as others.
With the arrival of version 3.7, Apple Sports is now your ultimate caddy for both the PGA and LPGA tours. Imagine having live leaderboards right at your fingertips, following every hole-by-hole result, and diving deep into individual scorecards – all for both men's and women's golf. But it doesn't stop there! The app also provides rich player profiles, complete with their current position, tour ranking, birthdate, birthplace, and even a professional headshot. It’s like having the entire golf world in your pocket!
But here's where it gets even more exciting for sports fans in general: Apple isn't just focusing on the greens. They've also broadened their soccer horizons, bringing you closer to smaller, yet incredibly passionate, European competitions. So, if you're a fan of the Copa del Rey, Coppa Italia, Coupe de France, or the DFB-Pokal, you're in luck! Your game-day experience just got a major upgrade.
And this is the part most people miss: the tennis features have also received a significant boost. While Apple Sports introduced basic tennis functionalities back in June 2025, just in time for Wimbledon, the latest update brings real-time stats during live games. This means you can now follow the ebb and flow of a match with unparalleled detail, making it perfect for all the upcoming tournaments.
It’s no secret that golf was a pretty big gap in Apple Sports' coverage, and its introduction couldn't be more timely, especially with the PGA's WM Phoenix Open just around the corner, kicking off on February 5th. Of course, if you're more into the roar of the crowd for American football, Apple already has you covered with the NFL. You can even get ready for this weekend’s Super Bowl LX, complete with information on the halftime show headlined by Bad Bunny and sponsored by Apple Music.
Apple Sports might be less than two years old, but its growth has been nothing short of phenomenal. It already boasts an impressive lineup of covered sports, including F1, MLB, NASCAR, NBA, NHL, Premier League, and many more. Plus, for those who love having information at a glance, you can add dedicated widgets to your iPhone's home screen across your Apple devices to stay updated on scores and key moments without even opening the app.
To get your hands on these fantastic new features, you'll need to be running iOS 17.2 or later. This means your iPhone should be an iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, or a newer model.
Now, for a bit of food for thought: With Apple Sports rapidly expanding its coverage and integrating deeper features, do you think it's on track to become the definitive sports app for iPhone users? Or are there still key sports or functionalities missing that would make it truly indispensable? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below – I'd love to hear if you agree or disagree!
