DALLAS, April 7, 2015/PRNewswire/ -- Golf Digest and MVPindex have teamed up to launch the first real time, curated social media hub for golf fans just in time for the Masters.

"Fans looking for the most engaging Masters-related content from the top three social media platforms will get exactly that from the Social Insider," said Ashley Mayo, senior editor of audience engagement at Golf Digest. "MVPindex will curate the best Masters content from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, allowing fans to cut through the clutter and see only the top content from their favorite players and media members in real time.

"Our technology will be selecting the most engaging content to share with fans and powering a social leaderboard to show who is engaging off the course as well as on.
