Get ready for golf like never before! Tiger Woodsand Rory McIlroy‘s revolutionary team golf league is set to make golf high-tech in the coming days. TGL is truly pushing the boundaries of innovation, and with many big names associated with the league, it is bound to be successful. But what’s behind the magic that’s set to transform the game forever?
Toptracer, the official ball-tracing partner of TGL, is at the forefront of this technological revolution. So, how does it work its magic? Let’s explore how it’s set to change the face of golf forever.
How Toptracer’s ball-tracing technology powers Tiger Woods’ TGL
Toptracer leads the golf industry with range technology in over 1,000 driving range facilities worldwide. The company officially partnered with TGL after a successful two-year testing period at TGL Performance Labs. Toptracer’s camera sensors track every tee shot and approach play with pinpoint accuracy as they hit the massive 64×53-foot screen. TGL positions its tee boxes 35 and 20 yards away, creating the perfect setup for its camera sensors to capture every detail.
This screen, a staggering 24 times larger than a standard simulator, sets the stage for unparalleled accuracy. Moreover, it meticulously monitors every shot and feeds the data into TGL’s data engine, unleashing insights, learnings, and predictive data for viewers and second-screen users.
Speaking about their partner from two years ago, Andrew Macaulay, Chief Technology Officer, TMRW Sports and TGL, noted, “With the flexibility, accuracy, and reliability of Toptracer’s ball-tracing technology, we’re gathering an extensive amount of data on each shot to help accurately transition into the virtual landscapes of our custom-designed holes.” Macaulay also highlighted,“Using Toptracer’s ball-tracing has added to the scale of TGL, allowing for our tee boxes to be a long way from the screen and for shots to be hit from any lie and location.”
