SCOR brings Arnold Palmer and golf into Web3

Players can expect short sessions, simple controls, and the feeling that they are not just looking at Palmer’s legacy from the sidelines but taking part in it.

In terms of gameplay, Arnie’s Birdies is close to physics-based puzzlers like Angry Birds. The player launches the ball and tries to clear holes of varying difficulty to earn extra points. Extra strokes turn into “birdies”, a kind of progress badge that will accumulate in the player’s profile.

The courses and objects in the game are tied to Palmer’s life story. Levels feature recognizable details such as the Bay Hill clock, the golfer’s private planes, and his dog Mulligan. These elements are not just background art but also tokenized assets inside the SCOR ecosystem that users can interact with beyond a single game session.

The Web3 SCOR ecosystem is powered by Sweet. The company is building this on-chain platform for sports brands and fans. Sweet already works with NHL and MLS and experiments with moving sports IP into the Web3 space. Every action a player takes in Arnie’s Birdies will be recorded on-chain, creating a digital participation history. Based on this, users receive a SCOR ID, a unified on-chain profile that tracks achievements and unlocks rewards on the platform.

For rights holders, this model offers a new way to earn from engagement: they see how involved fans really are and can test collectible tokens, in-game perks, and partner campaigns. For sports fans, the Web3 format turns familiar merch and nostalgic stories into an interactive experience.

You can join the waitlist for early access via fun.scor.io and partner channels, including Telegram bots. As clubs and leagues gradually adopt NFT collections, fan tokens and gaming dApps, the launch of Arnie’s Birdies looks like another step toward bringing “Arnie’s Army” from TV broadcasts and leaderboards into Web3.
