Since the last report: The app has pivoted its competitive strategy to address seasonal churn by targeting year-round utility and betting integration, re-positioning the PGA TOUR as its primary rival.

Bottom line

The Masters app is the gold standard for single-event UX, leveraging 'Every Shot, Every Hole' to create a moat that even the PGA TOUR cannot match for a single week. However, its seasonal nature makes it a 'disposable' app for many users; to evolve, it must find a way to provide value beyond the second week of April.
