Story Highlights
The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and Hero Digital, an award-winning customer experience transformation company, have unveiled the redesigned LPGA.com and the LPGA's new digital platform aims to engage a growing fanbase while amplifying exposure opportunities for the Association's athletes.
The revamped LPGA.com, developed in partnership with Hero Digital, now offers what the LPGA says is a premier destination for experiencing must-watch golf, delivering enhanced value to the Association's partners and showcasing the skill of top female golfers. This initiative builds upon recent partnerships with SeatGeek and Legends, aimed at expanding exposure and enriching the fan experience.
Furthermore, the LPGA has invested in its content team and placed greater emphasis on content creation, better showcasing its athletes to current fans while expanding its reach to new audiences, thereby enhancing the visibility of the Tour's athletes and the overall brand of the Association.
In addition to these enhancements, the new site features three times the amount of player and tournament statistics, giving fans deeper insights into the performances of their favorite athletes. The new LPGA.com also allows fans to immerse themselves in the Tour by:
Putting LPGA Tour athletes at the center of the brand through personal stories and the ability to follow fans' favorite athletes with ease
Building a foundation for long-term personalization through the introduction of individual fan accounts
Introducing easily accessible real-time leaderboards to follow tournament progress
Partnered with WSC to deliver AI-tailored sports video content highlighting key tournament moments
Aligned with the LPGA's multi-phase, multi-year partnership with Next League supporting the LPGA's digital transformation, the revamped website will help further elevate the experience the Association can offer to its fans. Next League's global team of strategists and technologists provided strategic counsel throughout the project.
This new website is a huge step forward for the LPGA as it is another step toward providing our world-class athletes even greater exposure and providing our fans with an elevated and dynamic opportunity to further immerse themselves into the LPGA, says LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan. We knew that together with Hero Digital we could develop a new platform that our players, partners and fans will love and that will help us continue to grow.
We're very proud to continue to partner with the LPGA to build platforms that inspire and empower women and girls and engage the Association's fans around the world, adds Jay Dettling, CEO of Hero Digital. A great digital experience gives fans the chance to feel like they're part of the action, follow their favorite athlete, get real-time footage of the highlights using AI, and so much more. Everything we love about partnering with the LPGA - from building a great digital product to designing stunning experiences - is showcased in our work with them.
To realize the LPGA's goals, Hero Digital worked to modernize the LPGA's tech stack by building on top of Sitecore with a headless architecture, allowing for more customizations with the front-end design, with fewer constraints. Looking ahead, LPGA and Hero Digital remain focused on launching a new fan-focused mobile app at the start of the 2025 LPGA Tour season.
