Overview
PGA Tour Leaderboard Scraper
Scrape live PGA Tour leaderboards for any tournament, past or present, with player scores, positions, and round details. No API key or login. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
The PGA Tour's official site shows leaderboards for every event, but there is no public API for structured data. This Actor reads the leaderboard pages directly and returns each player's position, score, and round-by-round results in one flat row. It covers the PGA Tour, Champions Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, and LPGA.

| Fantasy golf players | Track live scores and player positions to adjust lineups. |
| Sports journalists | Gather leaderboard data for articles and real-time reporting. |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that the tournament ID is correct and that the tournament has leaderboard data available. If you left the ID empty, ensure there is a current or recent tournament on the PGA Tour site.
The Actor returns fewer entries than expected.
Increase the maxItems input to a higher number. The default is 10, but you can set it up to 1,000,000.
I get an error about invalid tournament ID.
Verify the tournament ID format. It should be like R2025002. You can find it in the URL of the tournament page on pgatour.com.
The tour filter is not working.
Make sure you selected the correct tour code: R for PGA Tour, S for Champions Tour, H for Korn Ferry Tour, or LPGA for LPGA.
