The partnership will allow Topgolf and BetMGM to engage with consumers on a large scale while reaching new audiences, both digitally and in-person.

JF Prata, Topgolf Media Chief Operating Officer, said, “We are thrilled to partner with BetMGM as we continue to energize and grow our entertainment communities.
