The game deserves
a better system.
Professional Golf.
Built on transparent infrastructure.
GOVERNED.
A new standard.
From the first tee.
DAO Golf brings professional golf to the DAO Sports ecosystem. The inaugural Open is planned for 2027, beginning with a women’s competition and an operating system designed before the first tee shot.
Governance, funding, eligibility, accountability, payments, and institutional authority belong in the plan from day one.
Planned field: 42 golfers · 3 competition days · 1 host course.
Proposed model: published rules, a pre-funded purse, qualified officials, professional scoring, media production, sponsor participation, and auditable tournament economics.
Nothing left
to assumption.
Professional sport should not rely on improvisation where predetermined rules can provide certainty. Follow the proposed lifecycle.
Explore the purse.
See the payouts.
Move the slider or enter an amount to see how a prize purse could be distributed. Payouts update instantly.
The example allocates 25% to first place, 15% to second, 10% to third, and 50% across the remaining field.
EXAMPLE DISTRIBUTIONExplore a planning scenario. These amounts are not an announced prize purse.
Example formula. The remaining-field amount is a combined allocation, not a per-player award. Final placement percentages would follow a published schedule.
How would settlement be authorized?

Prove eligibility.
Protect the evidence.
Privacy is a constitutional design principle. Our Zero-Knowledge Athletic Eligibility Protocol (ZK-AEP™) is designed to separate sensitive evidence from competition administration.
Authorized professionals retain sensitive information. The operator should receive only a minimum eligibility status or proof: eligible, review required, or ineligible.
Proposed on-chain records are limited to issuer authorization, policy versions, credential validity or revocation, and proof verification. Medical records, genetic information, diagnoses and laboratory reports must not go on-chain.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN

Truth, Virtue, Freedom.
Institutional strengths.
The purpose is trustworthy sport. DAO Sports seeks to distribute opportunity, knowledge, responsibility and economic value across the people who make competition possible.
Where decisions can be defined in advance, define them. Where transactions can be verified, verify them. Where records can be public, publish them. Where information must remain private, protect it.
Profitability and sustainability matter. Value creation should strengthen both the institution and its participants. Technology supports this work; human judgment remains essential.
