Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TailgateTime at 100% against PGA Tour's 18%. TailgateTime also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). PGA Tour's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (45K vs 8). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
