- Two companies are golf betting/fantasy leaders
- Deal reached after Mayo reacquired Fantasy National
- Popularity of golf betting is rising
Betsperts Golf, one of the leading providers of analytics and insights for golf bettors and fantasy players, announced last week that it’s acquiring Fantasy National Golf Club (FNGC). Financial terms of the transaction weren’t disclosed.
The deal was made possible when FNGC founder Pat Mayo, a well-known sports podcast host, reacquired the golf wagering property, deciding to merge it with Betsperts. In a recent post on X, Mayo said the two websites will continue operating independently, which gives FNGC time to incorporate the buyer’s analytics and data features.
Betsperts Golf’s willingness to grow and create brand new tools while incorporating the existing favorites from Fantasy National is the best outcome for everyone who uses the product,” wrote Mayo. “I wanted to ensure that the loyal users of Fantasy National would be taken care of during the acquisition, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how @betsperts Group plans to grow Fantasy National and Betsperts Golf together.”
FNGC is a subscription platform with features including betting tools, course breakdowns, customizable models, and lineup generators for use on daily fantasy sports (DFS) platforms.
Betsperts/Fantasy National Marriage Makes Sense
The marriage of Betsperts and FNGC is a sensible one because the buyer and the target have some of the same objectives and services.
Run by Ron Klos, Andy Molitor, and Ryan Noonan, Betsperts is designed to deliver edges to golf bettors and fantasy players via “written articles, tools, streams, and podcasts.”
The company’s “Rabbit Hole” subscription service is known throughout the golf wagering world as a prime destination for bettors seeking advantages and data-driven decisions in the burgeoning golf wagering space.
“Officially licensed by the PGA Tour, and powered by ShotLink data, our customizable database allows you to mix together a variety of statistics and unique splits for every golfer on Tour,” according to the proprietor. “Along with strokes gained data, it includes almost every metric imaginable for analyzing past player performance on specific courses and over different periods of time. These searches will eventually allow you to create your own custom models to use for both DFS and betting purposes.”
Merger Arrives Amid Golf Betting Expansion
In the US, the sports wagering landscape is dominated by football, followed by basketball. That’s unlikely to change, but non-team sports, such as golf, are making inroads with American bettors.
Golf is one of the fastest-growing sports in the US from a wagering perspective. By some estimates, that market is expected to notch a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22% through next year and annual handle on the sport in this country is projected to be $4.5 billion to $5 billion range.
Those could be among the signs that Betsperts was smart to buy FNGC and that the acquisition could pay long-term dividends for the buyer.
