golf-data
PGA Tour, LPGA, and DP World Tour golf data via ESPN public endpoints — tournament leaderboards, scorecards, season schedules, golfer profiles/overviews, and news. Zero config, no API keys. Use when: user asks about golf scores, tournament leaderboards, scorecards, PGA Tour schedule, golfer profiles, golfer season stats, LPGA results, or golf news. Don't use when: user asks about other sports — use football-data (soccer), nfl-data (NFL), nba-data (NBA), wnba-data (WNBA), nhl-data (NHL), mlb-data (MLB), tennis-data (tennis), cricket-data (cricket), cfb-data (college football), cbb-data (college basketball), or fastf1 (F1). For betting odds use polymarket or kalshi. For news use sports-news.

What this skill does
Golf Data (PGA / LPGA / DP World Tour) Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, player IDs, and score formats. Setup Before first use, check if the CLI is available: If pip install fails with a Python version error, the package requires Python 3.10+. Find a compatible Python: No API keys required. Quick Start Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues: CRITICAL: Before Any Query CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify: The tour parameter is specified (pga, lpga, or eur) — there is no default tour. Player IDs are obtained from getleaderboard results or ESPN golf URLs — never guessed. Important: Golf is Not a Team Sport Tournaments, not games: Each event is a multi-day tournament (typically 4 rounds, Thu–Sun). Individual athletes: The leaderboard has 72–147 individual golfers, not 2 teams. Score relative to par: Scores are strings like "-17", "E" (even), "+2" — not point totals. One event per week: Unlike team sports, golf has one tournament per week per tour. No standings endpoint: FedEx Cup standings are not available via this API. The tour Parameter Most commands require --tour=pga, --tour=lpga, or --tour=eur: PGA: PGA Tour (men's professional golf) LPGA: LPGA Tour (women's professional golf) EUR: DP World Tour (formerly European Tour) If the user doesn't specify, default to pga. If they say "women's golf" or "LPGA", use lpga. If they mention the European Tour or DP World Tour, use eur.
