New Era of Golf Technology on Display

This past May 25, LPGA Tour champions Inbee Park and So Yeon Ryu entered a GOLFZON simulator in South Korea while Lydia Ko and Pernilla Lindberg did the same in St. Augustine, Florida. The four competed in two 18-hole virtual matches, with each team winning once.

This virtual match signals another step forward for golf technology. “Screen golf” has long been popular in Korea, and it is likely that more virtual matches will take place as the technology improves even more and greater access is made available. The USGTF is committed to staying current with the latest technology, and USGTF members are encouraged to share their knowledge with us so we can continue to grow as an organization and provide more opportunity for everyone.
