PENN Entertainment revealed the launch via announcement X, stating, "Our exclusive collaboration with the PGA TOUR brings you a new blackjack experience – classic gameplay, poker and pair side bet options, and full PGA TOUR branding, from the table and playing cards to the chips and celebratory animations."

Expansion to other iCasino markets is on the agenda, granted local regulatory approvals are granted.
Deepening the Partnership
PENN Entertainment's collaboration with the PGA Tour dates back to May 2021 when they signed a multi-year agreement. This partnership named ESPN BET the official betting operator for the PGA Tour. The agreement also included plans for new betting features, closer integration with live PGA Tour broadcasts, and engaging tools for fans.
Jason Birney, vice president of operations at PENN Interactive, shared, "We're thrilled to team up with the PGA TOUR and grow the ESPN BET brand by offering unique betting-themed broadcasts powered by our sportsbook. This collaboration deepens our media and betting integrations with ESPN, creating exciting opportunities to engage golf fans in an entertaining way."
