Arnie’s Birdies: A New Web3 Golf Experience Celebrating Arnold Palmer’s Legacy

Arnold Palmer’s legacy enters a new era as SCOR introduces Arnie’s Birdies, a game that transforms his iconic moments into interactive onchain gameplay.

This December, SCOR will welcome Arnie’s Birdies, a fast-paced golf mini-game created by Sweet and inspired by the fun, innovative spirit of Arnold Palmer. More than a tribute to a sports legend, Arnie’s Birdies marks a milestone in the evolution of Web3 gaming, where iconic sports figures extend their legacy into the next generation through interactive, onchain experiences.

Arnie’s Birdies delivers three major breakthroughs: it is the first Web3 golf title, the first athlete signature Web3 mini-game, and the first Web3 game to integrate real-world partner power-ups. Together, these achievements advance SCOR’s mission to bring sports IP onchain, creating interoperable revenue channels for rights-holders and giving fans new ways to build verifiable onchain identities through play, achievements, and skill.

Early access is reserved for users who join the whitelist now.

A Fresh Take on a Classic Gameplay Style

Inspired by the familiar physics of Angry Birds, Arnie’s Birdies challenges players with a series of increasingly difficult golf holes. Each hole comes with its own par count, topple-able structures, bonus opportunities, and a chance to make “birdies” based on unused golf balls.

The game is filled with iconic elements from Palmer’s life:

• the Bay Hill clock
• one of Palmer’s jets
• his beloved dog Mulligan

These moments of Arnold Palmer’s legacy become interactive, tokenized IP, giving fans something far more meaningful than a collectible: a living, playable experience with real opportunities to earn onchain rewards.

A Continuation of Palmer’s Legacy of Innovation

For Arnold Palmer Enterprises, Arnie’s Birdies reflects the values that defined Palmer’s approach to connecting with fans and shaping modern sports culture.

“Arnold Palmer built his career embracing the right innovations at the right time, and always in service of the fan,” said Brodie Waters of Arnold Palmer Enterprises. “With Arnie’s Birdies, Sweet has captured his fun and innovative spirit, turning his IP into a living, interactive experience that connects the past and the future of sports.”

Strengthening SCOR’s Vision for Onchain Sports IP

Arnie’s Birdies is also an important step in the ongoing development of the SCOR ecosystem, built by Sweet and designed to bring sports and entertainment IP onchain.

“Arnie’s Birdies is a major milestone for the SCOR ecosystem we’ve built at Sweet,” said Tom Mizzone, CEO at Sweet. “It advances our mission to strengthen direct connections between IP holders and fans, using Web3 infrastructure to power automated royalty telemetry and build a portable SCOR-ID for every user — exactly the kind of forward step Mr. Palmer championed throughout his life.”

Every in-game action in Arnie’s Birdies is recorded onchain and contributes to a player’s SCOR-ID, forming the foundation of verifiable fan engagement, rewards, and new monetization possibilities for rights-holders.
