Tournaments, plus the whole club operation
Live Tourney is a genuinely good, focused golf tournament tool: app-free live scoring via a QR code, online registration and payments, leagues and standings, real-time leaderboards, transparent per-player or annual pricing, and founder-led support. For running events, it is excellent. What it is not is a full club management platform, there is no tee sheet, member CRM, POS, accounting, or day-to-day member portal. Links Meridian includes tournament management and live scoring as part of one system that runs the entire club.
Credit where due: Live Tourney's app-free scoring is a smart, friction-free approach, and for a club or charity organiser whose only software need is tournaments, it is a strong, affordable pick.
If you need software to run the club day to day, though, tournaments are one piece of it. Links Meridian builds competitions and live scoring into the same platform as the tee sheet, member CRM, pro shop and F&B POS, a full accounting general ledger, and the Digital Clubhouse community, on published pricing from $99/month. You get the event capability and everything around it, on one bill.

Links Meridian vs Live Tourney
Common questions
Is Live Tourney good?
Yes, for what it does. Live Tourney is a focused, affordable golf tournament tool with excellent app-free live scoring and founder-led support. If tournaments are your only software need, it is a strong choice. If you need to run the whole club, Links Meridian includes competitions within a full platform.
Does Live Tourney run the whole club?
No. It is a tournament and event tool, without a tee sheet, member CRM, POS, accounting, or day-to-day member portal. Links Meridian builds tournaments and live scoring into a platform that also covers all of those.
Can I keep Live Tourney and add Links Meridian?
You can, but most clubs find competitions and live scoring are already built into Links Meridian, so a separate tournament tool becomes unnecessary.
How does pricing compare?
Live Tourney is priced per player or as an affordable annual plan for events. Links Meridian publishes all-in club-platform tiers from $99/month with competitions included.
Tournaments, and everything around them
