Toptracer, a company that boasts the title of "No. 1 range technology in golf," has already made significant waves in the sport. With its state-of-the-art technology, Toptracer has been instrumental in tracing more balls across more driving ranges in more countries than any of its competitors. Its engagement with TGL is anticipated to further enhance the way golf is played, viewed, and enjoyed.
Andrew Macaulay, Chief Technology Officer of TGL, highlighted the impact of this partnership, stating, "Toptracer is the tech that allows us to have things at this massive scale. To see it work at this scale... No one else was really able to figure out exactly how to do this large version."
This signifies the transformative potential of Toptracer technology in enriching the spectator experience and offering players a new realm of challenges off of the traditional golf course.
Set to debut on Jan. 7, 2025 in the newly constructed SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, TGL aims to redefine traditional golf. Utilizing Toptracer technology, the league will enhance the accuracy and visual appeal of ball flights, tee, and approach shots, changing how the game is viewed both on-site and by a global audience.
Toptracer's involvement extends beyond mere technology provision. Ludvig Jansson, a Toptracer executive, expressed enthusiasm about the project, emphasizing the company's ambition to showcase cutting-edge tech in golf.
"TGL is a perfect example of that. It is enabling golf experiences like no others through the infusion of golf. That's really what we're all about," Jansson explained.
