Shownotes

The sports betting market is providing a similar impact in the way fans consume sports as fantasy leagues. Over half of the country has legalized the practice since 2019. Before the 2021 NFL season, Americans had wagered more than $65 billion on sports since the Supreme Court’s Murphy vs. NCAA ruling opened the floodgates for sports betting. With that much money moving around, teams and leagues want a piece of that action.

The WorkInSports Podcast spoke at length about sports betting careers with PointsBet CEO Johnny Aitken, and today we see its impact in one segment of the industry. Our guest is Scott Warfield, PGA Tour VP of Gaming. In 2019, golf accounted for 1% of all sports betting. Warfield and his team are looking to change that. Catch the full episode as he and VP of Content and Engaged Learning Brian Clapp discuss:

  • How Warfield journey brought him to the sports industry
  • Why Warfield shifted his focus toward gaming
  • What golf’s growth potential is in the sports betting industry
  • What opportunities are available for sports betting careers
