Skale Network, PGA Tour, and Node Foundation today announced a partnership that will bring Solis Interactive‘s PGA Tour Rise to mobile devices.
With Web3 features, the free-to-play game breaks from traditional golf games by offering a strategic empire-building experience where players construct and manage their own golf operations, compete for resources, and grow their courses over time, while earning real-world rewards. The first minigame is set to launch in late 2025, with the full game scheduled for release in early 2026.
PGA Tour Rise will feature gameplay focused on building premier golf courses, managing resources, and competing in a real-time global environment. Players will strategically acquire better clubs, balls, and apparel to improve their performance, with the ability to buy, sell, and trade these items through an integrated marketplace. Seeing a new crypto game getting announced in 2026 is a pretty rare thing. But it’s happening.
In-game assets will be minted as crypto digital assets on Skale’s network, giving players true ownership of their digital items. Base, the Ethereum L2 incubated at Coinbase, is one of the fastest-growing onchain ecosystems and the game will be the first major application deployed to Skale on Base.
The game will introduce a unique connection between digital gameplay and real-world benefits. Through planned partnerships with leading golf equipment manufacturers, players will be able to earn tangible rewards such as discount codes and exclusive merchandise. Though not available immediately at launch, Solis plans to integrate these real life rewards for players to deepen fan engagement and create new ways for golfers to connect with the sport they love.
“We’re incredibly proud to support the launch of this innovative golf game, developed in partnership with the PGA Tour and Solis Interactive,” said Jack O’Holleran, CEO of Skale Labs, in a statement. “This collaboration showcases how blockchain can elevate gaming and sports experience by combining the prestige of the PGA TOUR with true ownership through crypto digital assets. With the PGA Tour’s popularity, we view this as an opportunity to onboard the next 10 million users into Web3 gaming.”
“It is incredibly exciting to see PGA Tour and Skale partner with Solis to bring this game into the Base ecosystem,” said Luca Curran, Head of AI & DePIN Business Development at Base, in a statement. “Skale’s new Base deployment brings the power of Skale into Base, and takes advantage of Base’s L2 technology stack. This game and its partnership with the PGA Tour is a phenomenal way for SKALE to introduce themselves to the Base community.”
“We evaluated dozens of blockchain partners before landing on Skale,” said Jay Klauminzer, CEO of Solis Interactive, in a statement. “Their platform lets us focus on building great gameplay instead of worrying about transaction costs killing the user experience. For a strategy game where players are constantly trading and upgrading, seamless transactions are essential.”
While free-to-play, players will be able to deposit money to purchase clubs, apparel and additional marketplace items with credit card or crypto deposits, creating a seamless onboarding experience for crypto-natives and golf enthusiasts alike. Built on SKALE’s gas-free network, players can enjoy blockchain gaming without typical transaction fees.
