Hosted By One Of Golf's Funniest Personalities: Peter Jacobsen
Widely considered the unofficial “ambassador of golf” Peter is known for his off-course antics as much as his on-course accomplishments. Frontman of golf’s legendary rock band Jake Trout and the Flounders, co-host of two GOLF CHANNEL variety shows, author of two autobiographical comedy books, and creator of NBC Golf’s popular “Jake’s Takes” segment, there is no one better equipped to bring MatchPlay to golf fans around the world.
A Live Event Experience
Created Exclusively For Golf Fans
MatchPlay celebrates the love (some might say obsession), fans have for the game—regardless of their playing ability.
Created as an interactive event experience, MatchPlay gives golf fans the chance to engage in friendly competition, while showcasing their golf trivia skills.
A "first" in golf, MatchPlay is an entertainment platform that gets fans and event patrons actively involved, providing an authentic golf experience—without even swinging a club.
A Sport Worthy Of A Game Show
As “Golf’s First Game Show” MatchPlay draws inspiration from the rich heritage and history of the game—as well as those who play it, watch it, and love it. With endless categories of content and stories to keep fans engaged, MatchPlay is a balance of fun, irreverence, and entertainment—coupled with facts, records, personalities, and champions.
Everyone Gets To Play
MatchPlay gives golf fans the chance to engage in a highly interactive trivia-based competition while showcasing their golf knowledge—off the course.
Played through a proprietary app, audience members participate via their smartphones, in a series of multiple-choice questions, with the top four (4) players with the fastest correct answers advancing to the Podium Rounds.
The Podium Rounds are comprised a series of "ask and answer questions" with the top four (4) contestants buzzing in at their podiums to answer. After each round, the player with the lowest score is eliminated until the final two play to be crowned the winner. Staged to meet any specific time or original content requirements—MatchPlay is two parts golf-trivia and one part gamesmanship.
