ORLANDO, Fla. (July 11, 2023) – NBC Sports Next and KemperSports today announced an extension of their decade-long partnership, which will continue to provide KemperSports golf courses with NBC Sports Next technology tools and enhanced support to help create efficiencies, drive revenue and to showcase applicable KemperSports-managed golf courses within the GolfNow and TeeOff tee-time marketplaces.
The new agreement continues NBC Sports Next’s long-term relationship with KemperSports as a key technology partner. In addition to tee-time distribution, the agreement provides KemperSports courses the ability to leverage a suite of services, including best-in-class, Golf365 Premier tee sheet and point-of-sale technology, as well as utilization of the payment processing tools, which seamlessly integrates online, phone and in-person payments with a golf course’s point-of-sale system.
“We are excited to extend our strong relationship with NBC Sports Next,” said KemperSports Vice President of Strategic Partnerships Jeff Osborn. “As we continue to focus on growing the game and providing a welcoming home for new golfers, it is critical that technology helps us facilitate these connections. NBC Sports Next’s proven suite of technology, combined with the dedicated service they provide our courses, ensures our team members can spend more time engaging our guests and less time thinking about their tee sheets.”
