If you want a stronger interface to work with GolfInvestors, learn more about becoming a web hosting affiliate, content syndication, and widgets. With the content syndication, you are able to export data via txt, csv, xls, and xml formats. As well, take advantage of our use of microformats on the site.

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is an XML-based format for content distribution. GolfInvestors offers several RSS feeds for its stock markets, player profiles, tournament results, and news. RSS feeds can be viewed via an RSS Reader / Aggregator or can be shown on web sites by users.
RSS Readers and Parsers can download and display RSS feeds for you or on your web site. There are several free RSS Readers and Parsers that are available for download. If you are using the Firefox browser, you can download and install the Sage RSS Reader plugin to quickly start viewing RSS feeds. Other suggested RSS Readers are Feed Reader (free), Google Reader, NewsGator RSS Reader (for a fee), and NewzCrawler (for a fee). For showing RSS feeds on your web site you will need to use an RSS Parser or write your own. Some example RSS Parsers are MagpieRSS, RSS-Box Viewer, RSSxpress-Lite, and rss2array.
Note: Please see our 'Terms of Use' at the bottom of this to make sure you comply with the usage of our RSS feeds. Thank you.

Example of Getting RSS Feeds in a Browser
The Firefox browser (version 2 and greater) has a nice little feature which allows users to view an RSS feed in the body portion of the browser. It enables users to easily add an RSS feed into it's "Live Bookmark" feature. See the screen shots below to see how it works and looks.
The screen shot below shows the list of RSS feeds on the GolfInvestors side when the user is in the Firefox browser and clicks on the RSS feed icon in the URL field row.
The screen shot below is an example of how the Tournament Results RSS Feed page would look when you navigate to it in the Firefox Browser. The URL being shown in the sreen shot is http://golfinvestors.com/external/rss_tournament_purse.php.
