ST. GALLEN, Switzerland, March 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sportradar AG (NASDAQ: SRAD) today announced it has deepened its multi-year agreement with Hard Rock Bet, adding official PGA TOUR and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) data, odds, and enhanced in-play betting capabilities to its existing suite of services in the U.S.

Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook players will benefit from new in-play offerings for the PGA TOUR, rights Sportradar acquired through its IMG ARENA acquisition, including dynamic micro markets such as hole winner and hole score. These new markets are complemented by advanced visualizations designed to enhance the live betting experience, featuring a real-time leaderboard with play-by-play commentary, 3D shot tracking for every hole, and automated insights throughout each round.
