Hole19, the global golf tech platform with over 4.7 million users, has announced the release of LivePlay, a groundbreaking new feature that transforms how golfers connect, compete, and play together.

Designed to make social golf easier, more engaging, and entirely seamless, LivePlay introduces live scoring, automatic player groupings, and smartwatch integration — all within the familiar Hole19 ecosystem.

With just a tap, users can create a round, invite friends or guests, and enjoy a live leaderboard that updates in real time. LivePlay eliminates the hassle of scattered group messages and manual score tracking by bringing all participants into one visually rich, interactive experience.

LivePlay is fully integrated into the Hole19 app, which provides GPS and stats for over 43,000 golf courses worldwide. The new feature enhances Hole19’s core offerings by delivering real-time updates, effortless round setup, and smartwatch compatibility — enabling golfers to follow leaderboard shifts directly from their wrist via Apple Watch or Wear OS devices.

Highlights include:

Hole19 users can now download LivePlay as a free update. The feature is available across iOS and Android devices, including Apple Watch and Wear OS smartwatches.
