According to the world governing body, a "major project" will create a "robust integrity infrastructure" on its World Tennis Tour (WTT).

Match-fixing has been a significant problem for the sport, particularly at a lower level where prize money is not as high.

Removing live scoring data makes in-play gambling more difficult, with the move backed by the Tennis Integrity Supervisory Board.

It follows a report recommendation by an Independent Review Panel (IRP), with the ITF pledging $8 million (£6 million/€7 million) for various integrity projects.

These include the introduction of accreditation for WTT events, video recording, extra security and better channels for players and officials to report concerns.

The ITF also want to create more $25,000 (£19,000/€22,500) tournaments to deter unofficial data collection at the lower events.

Live data was already being reduced with 3,500 fewer matches made available to betting markets this year, compared to 2018.

Further reductions will be made next year and in 2021 at the $15,000 events, until live scoring is completely removed.

"Our commitment to protecting the integrity of the World Tennis Tour is paramount," ITF President David Haggerty said. 

"The comprehensive package of measures we have agreed with both the ITF Board and the Tennis Integrity Supervisory Board go beyond the Independent Review Panel's recommendations for removing the supply of live scoring data at WTT $15k events. 

"This is a programme that looks holistically at all aspects of integrity across the full World Tennis Tour calendar. 

"We have also collaborated with the leading organisations representing the regulated betting industry to ensure recommendations are implemented with support from all stakeholders.

"The scale of this project is unprecedented. 

"We are confident that it will deliver real benefits for all participants and will contribute to the trend of reducing corruption risk seen in 2019."

Jennie Price, independent chair of the Supervisory Board, added: "The IRP's recommendation for removing official live scoring data at World Tennis Tour $15k events was an important measure and has been one of the Board's earliest priorities.

"Detailed work on implementation of the recommendation has made it clear how important it will be to ensure that official data is not simply replaced by unofficial data. 

"The enhanced security and accreditation processes planned by the ITF are essential to ensure that the playing environment is properly protected and the opportunities for unofficial data collection are minimised.

"The Supervisory Board supports this comprehensive set of measures to remove live data from the $15k tournaments and will continue to work closely with the ITF throughout the implementation process."
