BirdieAPI

Data atlas

Inspect the golf data layer before you build on it.

BirdieAPI exposes golf datasets through REST and MCP. This atlas keeps coverage claims explicit: what exists, which endpoints expose it, and where availability is partial.

8.5 million holes
Hole by hole
Strokes on each hole for about 99% of PGA Tour rounds since 2001, with par and yardage.
Four tours
Leaderboards
Full fields with finishing position, status, rounds and money: PGA Tour, LPGA, LIV and DP World Tour.
Strokes vs field
Ratings
Each full round measured against its field on the same course, adjusted for field strength.

Coverage ledger

Coverage is a product claim, not a freshness signal. Operational freshness is tracked separately.
