Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills --skill golf-data- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads golf-data automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Golf Data (PGA / LPGA / DP World Tour)
Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, player IDs, and score formats.
Setup
Before first use, check if the CLI is available:
which sports-skills || pip install sports-skills
If pip install fails with a Python version error, the package requires Python 3.10+. Find a compatible Python:
python3 --version # check version
# If < 3.10, try: python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
# On macOS with Homebrew: /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
No API keys required.
Quick Start
Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:
sports-skills golf get_leaderboard --tour=pga
sports-skills golf get_schedule --tour=pga --year=2026
sports-skills golf get_news --tour=pga
CRITICAL: Before Any Query
CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify:
- The
tourparameter is specified (pga,lpga, oreur) — there is no default tour. - Player IDs are obtained from
get_leaderboardresults or ESPN golf URLs — never guessed.
Important: Golf is Not a Team Sport
- Tournaments, not games: Each event is a multi-day tournament (typically 4 rounds, Thu–Sun).
- Individual athletes: The leaderboard has 72–147 individual golfers, not 2 teams.
- Score relative to par: Scores are strings like "-17", "E" (even), "+2" — not point totals.
- One event per week: Unlike team sports, golf has one tournament per week per tour.
- No standings endpoint: FedEx Cup standings are not available via this API.
The tour Parameter
Most commands require --tour=pga, --tour=lpga, or --tour=eur:
- PGA: PGA Tour (men's professional golf)
- LPGA: LPGA Tour (women's professional golf)
- EUR: DP World Tour (formerly European Tour)
If the user doesn't specify, default to pga. If they say "women's golf" or "LPGA", use lpga. If they mention the European Tour or DP World Tour, use eur.

Error Handling
When a command fails, do not surface raw errors to the user. Instead:
- If no active tournament, tell the user and suggest checking the schedule
- If a player ID is wrong, suggest using
get_leaderboardto find current player IDs - Only report failure with a clean message after exhausting alternatives
Troubleshooting
Error: sports-skills command not found
Cause: Package not installed
Solution: Run pip install sports-skills
Error: No active tournament on leaderboard
Cause: Golf tournaments run Thursday–Sunday; between events the leaderboard may show no active tournament
Solution: Call get_schedule(tour="pga") to find the next upcoming event
Error: Limited round data — scores are empty
Cause: Before a tournament starts, round scores will be empty. During the tournament, only completed rounds have scores.
Solution: Check get_leaderboard for tournament status and current round; wait for rounds to complete
Error: Player not found by ID
Cause: Player ID is incorrect or the player is not in the current tournament field
Solution: Get player IDs from get_leaderboard results, or look up ESPN golf URLs (espn.com/golf/player/_/id/<id>/player-name)
