Does anyone know about anything like setup here but for real money? If not I will volunteer to run it. Same exact setup as this with multiple tours but instead there is some actual real money payouts. I think it would be a great idea and with connections I have could get some gaming sponsors involved as well. Would love for some feedback and possibly some people to help get this started!

This game is not conducive to real money entry fees and payouts in my opinion. I can see you're new here but I suggest you read through the weekly PGA thread, then take that drama and multiply it by a whole lot and that's what you'll get. On top of that you have no way of accessing the API data the admin on this site do in order to prevent rule breaking as much as possible which will lead to all sorts of arguing no matter how small the prize money is.
To top it off you would need a way to actually verify entrants age and location information to ensure you are in compliance with laws.
This is all just tip of the iceberg stuff, but if you want to dive in and try to start something more power too you.

Not really new but in order to write something I needed to create an account. I am a web developer and understand about how I couldn’t do what they do here due to certain stipulations but with that being said then hopefully the right people look at this and I will offer up my help in the way of just running the real money side of things through same setup that is already established. Doubling what is already here would not be hard in site sense and then creating the societies on game isn’t hard at all. As for verifying age, not to much of a problem.... could approach it just like poker sites do in the sense of deposit options and age verifications the same way.

S@!t !! And i that reading the title i was already thinking about how to wast...ehm,no no..how to invest my 100000$ of prizes I was also already choose the clinic rehab where i could end my season. Uff..never a joy. (anyway mate..the idea is maybe fashinating..but where money is much more involved,the fun generally is not. And there's already no need of money to have some lad living this game like a war and with some real psychosis about cheaters. I can't imagine how the ambient could be with this kind of change. And the ambient is the better thing,here. I think (and i hope) that nobody wish to exchange this with money.)

Maybe just recorded head to head matches then?... it would be easier to track and ban cheaters.

Find a way to have an "escrow" account of sorts to hold wagers between players and winnings be paid out upon screenshot verification of the match results.

You see..i joined this tour more or less a month ago. So i know very little about how and if is technically possible to made what you have in mind. Someone else should to answer. But i don't think that this idea can be ever live here. In every case. And to tell you the truth i hope that this could never happens. Starting to be involved in this community,what i noticed (ans still discover) day by day, is that here there is a community very strong. Very supportive. A lot of guys started friendships very strong. The golf..the tourneys..are just a way to stay together and to share a passion that all we have. Is not a paradise..sometime s#!t happens and, for example, a lot of people have the fear (someone probably strongly believe) that some guy cheats although the api and all the efforts the admins made to guarantee that this cannot happens. Those are just some shadows..sometime there are discussions..even tough ones..exactly about this. And we are competing just for the "glory"! Can you imagine what could it happen if money were involved? This community should be broken,probably. It would die,maybe.
You know..money are a cool thing..for sure. But what we have here is something better,for me And i'm not sure,obviously,but i suppose we are a lot who have this feeling.
It's simply this.

I love this community of people and I love the way it is. Did not mean to get people upset just throwing an idea out. I gamble for living so it was just a thought sorry everyone.

If the amount of money players put in was capped, at a very low amount, say one dollar/pound per week, which would still equal a lot of money overall, I'd be ok with that. There'd be no real money at stake, there'd be money to go to the site maintenance, and maybe a few people a week could win a little bit of money for fun.
But turning the site into a gambling site I don't like at all...

The Fair Play API is a shortcut to try to weed out cheaters but some people who aren't cheating also get pulled and if there was money involved cheaters would find a way to pass it no matter how the criteria were set up. The only way it would be possible to do real money competition is via live tournaments where the equipment is controlled, and the TGC community is just not big enough to draw people to the same location at the same time for that type of event.

Ha hahaha hah. Real money. Ahahahahahah.
You’d have to do it live, but I suspect half of the PGA would play sub par - no pun intended - if we did such a thing.

I love the idea but when money is involved i think that you will attract those that can shoot 57 on a regular basis. Since I can't even shoot 67 on a regular basis, i don't think that I could compete.
Maybe heads up match play or skins might work but since i am good for at least one double bogey per round, stroke play is probably not feasible (at least for me).

Without live events, playing for live money comes with more downsides than positives in my opinion.
Nothing stopping folks from setting up private one-on-one games with on-your-honor electronic fund transfers to the winner. But large scale events with purses sounds like a disaster. Sure, if some e-gaming promoter wants to organize and doesn't care about cheats or modded controllers then by all means, have at it. But to operate legitimately, you'd need API data, mandatory streaming and/or uploading, and cameras on the player's controller and console/computer during the rounds. Even then, many would be skeptical of sub-60 rounds no matter the course or conditions.
Folks are caught cheating with literally nothing substantive on the line - can't imagine the depths some would take if there was actually money involved.
