A Physics-Based Golf Challenge Built Around Palmer’s Legacy
Arnie’s Birdies uses familiar physics mechanics similar to Angry Birds. Players complete golf holes with unique par counts, earn bonus points by toppling obstacles, and score birdies for efficient shots. Each stage features environments tied to Palmer’s life and career, including the Bay Hill clock, one of Palmer’s private jets, and his dog Mulligan. These touchpoints become tokenized IP that players can interact with to earn rewards.
SCOR’s Next Step in Bringing Sports Onchain
Every action in Arnie’s Birdies is recorded onchain through SCOR’s infrastructure. This builds a permanent engagement profile for each fan, forming the foundation for new monetization models, portable fan identities, and automated royalty reporting for IP holders.
Brodie Waters of Arnold Palmer Enterprises said Sweet captured Palmer’s passion for innovation. “Arnie always embraced the right ideas at the right time and always in service of the fan. This mini-game turns his legacy into a living experience that connects past and future.”
Sweet CEO Tom Mizzone called the launch a major milestone for SCOR. “Arnie’s Birdies strengthens the direct connection between fans and IP holders. It uses Web3 to power automated royalties and build a portable SCOR identity for every user. That is exactly the kind of forward step Mr. Palmer championed.”
Available Across Web, Mobile, and Messaging Apps
Arnie’s Birdies will launch on fun.scor.io, mobile browsers, and messaging platforms such as Telegram. Fans can whitelist now to secure early access and start earning in-game rewards when the mini-game goes live.
