Golf Data

What it does

This skill provides access to historical and current data related to professional golf, covering the PGA (men's), LPGA (women's), and DP World Tour (European) circuits. It allows an AI agent to retrieve leaderboards, schedules, player information, scorecards, news articles, and detailed overviews of individual golfers including season stats and rankings. The skill leverages a command-line interface (CLI) for optimal performance and avoids potential Python import path issues.
