JERSEY CITY, N.J. – It’s not the first – and it most certainly won’t be the last – but the DraftKings House at this week’s Northern Trust is a glimpse into the future of golf and gambling.
Tucked between the 15th green and 16th fairway at Liberty National, the sports lounge features all the amenities of a traditional corporate suite, including two bars, a small putting green and an open view of the 15th green. There’s also the allure of on onsite sportsbook.
According to a PGA Tour official, there is no pure betting functionality in the lounge other than what fans already have access to via their phones throughout New Jersey, which was one of the first states to legalize sports betting.
