PGA TOUR and TrackMan™ Reach Agreement for Ball Flight and Club Movement Analysis during PGA TOUR Events

Additional details of the agreement include: 

•    PGA TOUR will collect TrackMan™ data from players during TOUR tournaments on a weekly basis.
•    The TrackMan™ data collected includes: 3-D Shot Trajectory, Carry Distance, Ball Landing Position, Ball Speed, Vertical Launch Angle, Spin Rate, Horizontal Launch Angle, Club Speed, and more.
•    The TrackMan™ system has been integrated into the PGA TOUR’s ShotLink System, whereby TrackMan™ data is collected and passed through ShotLink. The ShotLink System is a revolutionary platform for collecting and disseminating scoring and statistical data on every shot by every player in real-time.

“We are extremely proud of our agreement with the PGA TOUR because it indicates to the ISG team that we have achieved an important objective of designing and developing TrackMan™ to be a world-class product offering the quality of data and field use application that the world’s finest players and organizations would rely on,” said Klaus Eldrup Jørgensen, President of ISG A/S. “We knew TrackMan™ was something special, but confirmations such as through our agreement with the PGA TOUR rewards our dedicated team with the acknowledgement of a job well done.”

Steve Evans, Vice President of Information Systems for the PGA TOUR, said: “Our decision to integrate TrackMan™ into our weekly events was more of a process than a decision.  TrackMan™ had to prove itself as reliable, durable, non-intrusive to the players, and most importantly accurate, over several months of testing in various environmental conditions and with various users.  TrackMan™ passed all the rigorous testing and we are excited to have the system set up every week so that we can learn more about how the world’s greatest players are playing and how they differentiate themselves from one another.

“We are excited about the potential to elevate the fan experience on-site, on the air and in other media that TrackMan™ provides,” Evans added. “We think the performance data that TrackMan™ provides will add a further dimension to help the fan understand how exceptional the PGA TOUR athlete is.”
