The six online Massachusetts <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/betting-sites\/\">sports betting operators<\/a>, along with the sports<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">books at the state\u2019s three retail sportsbooks, can offer betting markets for all LPGA and LET events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This includes the forthcoming KPMG Women\u2019s PGA Championship, which runs June 20-23. MGC\u2019s sports wagering operations manager, Andrew Steffen, told commissioners in a proposal that the sports wagering division noticed the LPGA and LET were absent from the wagering catalog in May.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, the MGC then informed operators they could request that the leagues be added. According to Play MA, Caesars Sportsbook promptly submitted a petition and multiple operators followed suit, Steffen said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In their petition, Caesars said that LPGA events had been approved for wagering in 26 states and Washington, D.C.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, two requirements must be met in order for the MGC to add new events to the sports wagering catalog in Massachusetts: adequate integrity controls and verifiable outcomes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>All four commissioners voted to approve both of Caesars\u2019 petitions to add the leagues to the Bay State\u2019s catalog\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, all four commissioners voted to approve both of Caesars\u2019 petitions to add the leagues to the catalog, with MGC interim chair Jordan Maynard proclaiming, \u201cI love the LPGA.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to Caesars, the five other online Massachusetts sports betting operators are BetMGM, DraftKings, ESPN BET, Fanatics, and FanDuel. Bally Bet is also expected to launch by the end of June.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Founded in 1950, the LPGA is the oldest women\u2019s professional sports association in the U.S. The LET was founded in 1978, and it entered a joint venture agreement in 2020 with the LPGA Tour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Both leagues showcase the top women\u2019s golfers from around the world. The 2024 LPGA schedule features 35 events in the U.S. The LET\u2019s 2024 schedule includes 31 events in 20 countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Additionally, both leagues recognize France\u2019s Amundi Evian Championship and the U.K.\u2019s AIG Women\u2019s Open as majors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The other three annual LPGA majors are the Women\u2019s PGA Championship, U.S. Women\u2019s Open, and Chevron Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Massachusetts commissioners unanimously
