LINKEDINPRXY is the technology infrastructure powering the next generation of closest-to-the-pin contests

PRXY attaches directly to any flagstick and automatically detects golf balls on the green and determines their final proximity to the hole.
Reserve PRXY now, secure a presenting sponsor later, and turn one hole into a new source of sponsorship and fundraising revenue.

A PRXY activation turns a traditional closest-to-the-pin hole into a fully connected live competition.
PRXY automatically measures qualifying shots, powers a sponsor-branded live leaderboard and PRXY Scanner on the tee-box scoring monitor, and gives golfers a link they can quickly pull up to follow the leaderboard throughout the event.
Golfers can also receive push notifications when major leaderboard changes happen, for example: “John Smith just stuck it to 1.47 FT and is now in 1st place!”
PRXY can also layer in optional fundraising challenges and contests beyond the CTP.
One example is the 10' PRXY Challenge, where golfers can pay $10 on the tee box for a chance to win $100 if they finish within 10'.
These add-ons are completely optional and are designed to help your event create more engagement and raise more money for your cause.
Every golfer can also test an Arccos Smart Laser on the PRXY hole, sign up for a free 30-day trial, and is entered for a chance to win an Arccos Smart Laser Rangefinder.
A standard PRXY activation is $2,500, but that fee is not due when you book your event.
First, you reserve PRXY for your event and we confirm availability.
Once your date is confirmed, you secure a presenting sponsor for the activation.
The $2,500 activation fee is only due after that sponsor is secured, so there’s no financial risk in reserving PRXY.
We’re actively booking events across the country for 2027, so we recommend reserving your date early to make sure PRXY is available for your event.
Sponsors love the PRXY activation because it gives them meaningful exposure before, during, and even after the event through the live competition, branded leaderboard, golfer engagement, and event-wide visibility.
If you’re unable to secure a presenting sponsor, the $2,500 activation fee is not due.
That structure helps ensure your event can pursue additional incremental revenue without taking on an upfront financial obligation.
If you’d like help securing a sponsor, PRXY can provide sponsorship support on an event-by-event basis for an additional fee, subject to availability.
The PRXY presenting sponsorship is a premium asset because the sponsor is integrated directly into the competition—not just placed on another tee sign.
Their brand can be featured across the live leaderboard, PRXY Scanner, golfer communications, on-hole experience, and other event touchpoints before, during, and after the round.
We recommend selling the presenting sponsorship for at least $5,000, with $10,000+ as the target for most events.
The upside is simple: the PRXY activation fee remains $2,500, so the more you sell the sponsorship for, the more incremental revenue your event can generate.
Use the event calculator below to quickly see your estimated event profit at different sponsorship levels.
The event and/or presenting sponsor determines and funds the CTP prize purse, and the amount, structure, and type of prizes are completely up to you based on your goals, budget, and event format.
Our recommended starting point is a $1,500 Top-5 purse:
But it can be structured however you want.
That could mean a $1,000 Top-10 purse, $500 winner-take-all, or sponsor-provided products, gift cards, or experiences for the Top 3.
PRXY can work with you to determine the prize purse and structure that makes the most sense for your event, sponsor, budget, and overall goals.
This will hands down be one of the coolest experiences your golfers have ever had on a golf course or during an event.
Instead of hitting a shot, hoping someone measured it correctly, and checking a marker stuck in the ground, golfers get a fully connected, live closest-to-the-pin experience.
PRXY automatically detects and measures qualifying shots, while the PRXY Scanner shows golfers the real-time location and proximity of balls on the green on a large scoring monitor at the tee box.
Golfers also receive a link to quickly pull up the live leaderboard on their phones and can get push notifications throughout the round when major leaderboard changes happen—so the competition continues long after they leave the hole.
Depending on the event, golfers can also participate in additional fundraising challenges, test an Arccos Smart Laser, sign up for a free 30-day trial, and be entered for a chance to win an Arccos Smart Laser Rangefinder.
It takes a traditional CTP contest—something golfers have seen hundreds of times—and turns it into a live, interactive competition they can follow throughout the entire event.
Golfers can follow the live PRXY leaderboard directly from their phones using a simple event link provided by PRXY.
There’s no app to download, no account to create, and no login required.
Golfers simply open the link and can immediately see the current standings, updated proximity results, and leaderboard movement throughout the event.
The same live experience is also displayed on the tee-box scoring monitor, so golfers can see where they stand before they leave the hole and continue following the competition from anywhere on the course.
They can also receive push notifications for major leaderboard changes, helping keep the competition active and engaging throughout the entire round.
Absolutely—the possibilities are nearly endless.
We typically recommend starting with the 10' PRXY Proximity Challenge—golfers love it.
Before they tee off, we ask if they’d like to donate $10 for a chance to win $100 if their shot finishes within 10 feet of the pin.
After winner payouts, 100% of the net proceeds go back to the charity your event is supporting.
But that’s just one example. PRXY can work with you to create almost any additional contest or fundraising experience you can imagine.
Want to run a $100,000 Team Challenge where a foursome wins $100,000 if all four golfers finish within 10 feet? Done.
Want to add a $10,000 hole-in-one bonus to the PRXY hole? Done.
Want to place PRXY on a Par 4 fairway 100 yards from the pin and let golfers pay to advance their tee position and compete in a PRXY CTP contest? Done.
The goal is simple: create an experience golfers will remember while giving your event more ways to generate incremental revenue for your cause.
If there’s a challenge, contest, or fundraising concept you want to explore, we’re here for it.
A PRXY activation can be operated by PRXY personnel, an approved PRXY Event Partner, or even your own event or presenting sponsor team.
For events that want a fully managed experience, PRXY or one of our approved partners can handle setup, operation, and event-day support.
We also have the option to ship the PRXY equipment directly to your event, where your team or presenting sponsor can operate it themselves.
Setting up and running PRXY is incredibly simple.
The system is designed to be easy to deploy and operate with minimal training, so virtually anyone can manage it successfully on event day.
Adjust your sponsorship revenue and CTP prize purse to determine the profit opportunity for your event.
Tell us a little about your outing and we’ll follow up with availability, sponsorship guidance, and the best setup for your event.
