The App That Rewards You In Crypto For Playing Golf

Golf isn’t just a game. It’s a lifestyle. And it’s growing fast. ⛳

No, you didn’t open the wrong newsletter, I promise we’ll tie it back to crypto in a sec.

From 2013 to 2023, golf participation in America surged 50%. The sport’s biggest demographic? Young people aged 22–34, with an average income of $120,000. These players spend between $2,500 and $10,000 per year on golf—nearly 5x more than in any other sport (excluding tennis). Yet despite this passion, 77% of golfers say they feel unrecognized by brands, and just 3–5% feel rewarded in any meaningful way.

Enter GolfN: a new rewards app built on Solana that tracks every part of your golf obsession: tracking rounds, playing on a simulator, taking lessons, competing with friends, or even just stepping onto the course to watch the US Open. With 40,000 golfers on the waitlist and an app launch right around the corner, GolfN combines stat tracking, social connection, and crypto-native incentives into one seamless experience. It’s like Strava for golf, powered by a rewards ecosystem that finally gives golfers the recognition (and perks) they deserve.

GolfN digital collectible cards act as in-app power-ups for earning rewards

On a new episode of The Edge Podcast, we sit down with the CoFounder of GolfN, Jared Phillips, to learn how they’re building this breakout consumer app that leverages Web3 rails. But with GolfN, you don’t have to think about crypto under the hood. Just play, earn, and enjoy the game!
