DP World Tour Shot Tracker

For many years, the European Tour – now the DP World Tour – has been a distance behind its PGA Tour counterpart when it comes to in-play shot tracking.

Over time the PGA Tour’s shot tracker has evolved to what is today the benchmark for functionality, with full 2D and 3D shot trails as well as conventional play-by-play text updated very close to real time. While the DP World Tour’s website is slowly getting up to speed in this respect, the basics are now in place to enable this on a wider scale and the area is undoubtedly developing at some pace.

At the time of writing, you can access end-of-hole shot trails on the DP World Tour website for most (although not all) events, which is undoubtedly a step forward. However, even better news is that the same functionality is available for bookmakers to integrate into their websites, and they’ve taken the bull by the horns.

As of 2024, 4 bookmakers have integrated the DP World Tour shot tracker into their in-play golf offering. Below we’ve rated these 4 bookmakers based on the work they’ve done in this area so far, plus any additional in-play features that enhance their efforts.

Number 1: Boylesports

Boylesports undoubtedly lead the way in 2024 with their DP World Tour Shot Tracker, combined with their impressive suite of in-play features.

2D and 3D shot trails are available, plus text-only options in both groups and for the leaderboard as whole. Shots are updated one shot at a time, rather than at the end of the hole, so you can keep fully up to date on your chosen players.

Coupled with the Shot-Tracker, Boylesports also have live golf streaming from selected holes that can also be accessed by members:

As part of a massive revamp of their golf product offering in 2022, Boylesports launched a series of innovative and market-leading features that makes them a true destination for golf punters and a one-stop shop when it comes to golf betting.

The Boylesports golf in-play offering is unrivalled in its depth at present, with over 1,000 in-play markets available at various points in many events on the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and of course at the Major Championships. Here’s a flavour of some of the markets that Boylesports punters can get involved in:

In-Play 2/3 Ball Winner

Professional golf is usually played in either 2-ball pairings or as 3-balls, and Boylesports have live markets so that you can bet on the overall winner of that group as the round progresses:

Hole Winner

As the round progresses, you can also bet on the winner of forthcoming holes from each group or pairing. Given that some holes suit different players depending on their accuracy, driving distance and ball flight, this can be an exciting way to get involved in the action:

Player Score Per Hole

Taking the hole winner concept a step further, you can also bet on the actual score outcome per player, per hole – again that’s crucial on some holes that present birdie opportunities to some players and bogey opportunities to others:

Number Of Putts Per Hole

Of course, some players are wizards on the greens whereas others make Boo Weekley look like Brad Faxon – Boylesports allow you to bet on the number of putts each play will take on each hole too:

To Hit The Green In Regulation

Of course, scoring isn’t just about putting as finding the putting surface in the regulation number, so 1 stroke for a par 3, 2 strokes for a par 4, and 3 strokes for a par 5, is equally important in terms of setting up opportunities for birdie. Boylesports allow you to bet on this per player, per hole too:

These in-play markets, which are expanding all the time with new features, combined with the in-play shot tracker, live streaming of certain holes and live leaderboards, make Boylesports a must-have account for avid golf punters.

Number 2: bet365

In a major step forward on the DP World Tour, bet365 have now integrated play-by-play shot tracking into both their app and website.

Gone are the days of guessing where your player is in terms of the hole they’re playing on the DP World Tour, simply click the golf flag icon when in the bet365 in-play market to keep right up to date:

The DP World Tour shot tracker is available on both the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour throughout the season, giving bet365 a major advantage over other bookmakers when it comes to golf when combined with their strong odds and extensive in-play offering on a multitude of sports.

Joint Number 3: Coral & Ladbrokes

As part of Entain Plc, Coral and Ladbrokes are now part of the same company and they’ve both been blessed with identical DP World Tour shot tracker functionality.

In a major step forward in terms of in-play functionality, 2022 saw Ladbrokes and Coral launch their golf shot tracker which enables you to monitor your players shot-by-shot on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.

There are different views for the shot tracker, either the overall leaderboard as per the screenshot above or on a group-by-group basis where you can choose a graphical view of the shots for each group member or the shots in text. 2D and 3D options are available, plus you can zoom into the green on each hole as the players take their putts:
