SCCG Announces Partnership with FLI Golf

SCCG Management, a global leader in advisory services for the gaming and sports industries, has announced a strategic partnership with FLI Golf, the groundbreaking professional disc golf league redefining the sport for a new generation of fans, athletes, and bettors.
FLI Golf has quickly established itself as the most innovative and dynamic force in disc golf. By transforming traditional gameplay into a high-energy, broadcast-ready format—with structured halves, halftime analysis, and thrilling par-3 courses—the league has created a product that captivates spectators and resonates with modern sports culture. With a global roster of elite talent from the US, Estonia, Finland, and Laos, FLI Golf delivers competitive intensity, record-breaking prize pools, and a clear vision for what disc golf can become on the world stage.
The league currently owns all its teams and boasts the most talented athlete lineup in the sport. With events hosted at premier venues across the country and a rapidly growing fan base, FLI Golf is poised to franchise the league and scale globally. At the heart of its future expansion is a robust database of player statistics—designed not only to drive fan engagement but also to power highly accurate, competitive betting lines that elevate the sport’s betting potential.
To support this next phase of growth, SCCG Management will provide full-spectrum advisory services, including business development, capital raising, and the sourcing of strategic sponsors and brand partnerships across the US. SCCG will also lead efforts to activate sports wagering around the league, facilitating introductions to leading technology providers and sportsbook operators while guiding regulatory readiness.
One of the most exciting elements of this partnership is SCCG’s work to integrate FLI Golf into the Tribal gaming ecosystem. With decades of deep relationships in Tribal markets and across brick-and-mortar casino properties, SCCG will work to bring live FLI Golf experiences to casinos across the US—unlocking a powerful new category of in-person entertainment and sports betting activation.
“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome SCCG as our strategic partner. Their deep expertise in sports and gaming, along with their global network of partners and investors, gives FGL the backing it needs to change the game for professional disc golf and bring a bold new vision to life,” said Andrew Panza, CEO and Tour Director of the FLI Golf League.
“FLI Golf has created something truly special—a disruptive, fan-first league that’s built for the modern sports landscape. We see massive potential in their model, not only as a sport, but as an entertainment platform that aligns perfectly with the future of wagering, data, and tribal casino partnerships. This is just the beginning,” said Stephen Crystal, Founder and CEO of SCCG Management.
