PRXY

PRXY provides technology infrastructure for closest-to-the-pin (CTP) competitions at charity golf events. Its service turns a traditional par-three contest into a live, team-based experience designed to help events attract more golfers and sponsors and generate additional fundraising revenue, with no upfront cost to the event and no staff needed to operate the competition.

The PRXY system uses a device to detect qualifying shots, measure their proximity to the pin, and update results on a live leaderboard. A scanner at the tee displays qualifying shots, combines them into a team score, and shares event updates. Golfers can earn additional entries through proximity zones and top-five results, with opportunities to enter monthly $100,000 prize drawings.

PRXY offers a managed event kit that is shipped to organizers and can be set up in about five minutes. It operates over cellular, so Wi-Fi is not required. The company is inviting charity golf events to join its waitlist and says it plans to work with 1,000 select events in 2027 toward a collective fundraising goal of more than $1 million.
