# Golf player recent scoring average (Growth+)

`GET /v1/golf/players/{id}/scoring-average`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.playcallerapp.com`
- URL: `https://api.playcallerapp.com/v1/golf/players/{id}/scoring-average`
- Auth: API key in header `X-PlayCaller-Key`

Average strokes-to-par and average round score across a player's most recent tournaments, computed directly from stored ESPN round-by-round data (`golf_leaderboard`). Deliberately NOT framed as a fantasy points projection — golf has no fantasy scoring plugin in this API — and not a validated ML model; a real, honest recent-form statistic only.

**Tier access:** Growth, Pro Insights, Syndicate Alpha
