Description
Who’s actually expected to win the major? Show your readers the whole picture.
Golf isn’t head-to-head — it’s a field of 150 players, and the story of tournament week is how that field is ranked. PinOdds Field Board renders that ranking natively in your post: every contender ordered by consensus win chance, with a probability bar and percentage, from the favorite down as deep as you want to show. It updates itself all week as the market moves — no editing, no re-pasting numbers.
What the board shows
- The field ranked by de-vigged consensus win probability — the bookmaker margin is stripped out, so the numbers are honest chances, not prices
- A probability bar per player, scaled to the favorite, so the shape of the field is visible at a glance
- Tournament title and start date, plus how many books the consensus draws from
- Native HTML that inherits your theme’s fonts and colors — no iframes, no external scripts for your visitors
How to use it
- Install and activate — it works out of the box with the bundled demo access
- Add
[pinodds_field](or the “Field Board” block) where the board should appear - Options:
[pinodds_field top="30"]shows 30 players;tournament="…"pins a specific event by its API key
External services
This plugin retrieves tournament fields and market-consensus win probabilities from the PinOdds data API operated by SkipSeek (endpoint: skipodds.com/v1). Requests are made server-side from your site (never from your visitors’ browsers) and contain no personal data — only the tournament being requested and your API key. Terms and privacy: https://skipodds.com/terms and https://skipodds.com/privacy-policy.
Win chances are informational market consensus, not betting advice.

FAQ
-
Where does the data come from?
-
The PinOdds data API aggregates bookmaker outright prices for the tournament, removes the bookmaker margin, and normalizes the field to honest win probabilities. Your site fetches the board server-side and caches it for 15 minutes.
-
Do I need an API key?
-
No — the bundled demo access is enough for a cached board. High-traffic sites can add their own key under Settings PinOdds Field Board.
-
Which tournaments are covered?
-
The four men’s majors, plus other priced events as they appear in the feed. With no
tournamentattribute the board always shows the next one. -
Does it slow my site down?
-
No. The board renders from a 15-minute WordPress cache; visitors never wait on the API, and if the API is briefly unreachable your last board keeps rendering.
