Sal Syed, Arccos CEO & Co-Founder, said: 

"This strategic round, validated by participation of many prominent brands in golf, further strengthens our ability to achieve Arccos’ mission of harnessing data and A.I. for game improvement. With the support of these industry leading partners, we’ll be able to fully leverage and accelerate the growth of the game’s largest data set. Our goal is to help the game’s ecosystem, allowing golfers, coaches, club fitters and product designers make smarter decisions that are based on real performance data."

PGA Tour Senior Vice President of New Ventures, Lance Stover, said: 

"On the PGA Tour, we understand the value of collecting and reporting information on every shot, by every player during tournament competitions. Arccos’ offering is geared to consumers who are not able to compete on Tour. Given the size of the golf industry, the sophistication of Arccos’ game tracking solution and the OEM partners it has in place, a tremendous opportunity exists to bring this capability to many more golfers, and we’re thrilled to be part of that journey."

Since Arccos launched, its members have taken more than 750 million shots while playing over 16 million rounds with the system in 162 countries.

That underpins golf’s largest on-course dataset that today includes 1.1 trillion unique data points.

PING President & CEO John Solheim said: 

"Data is an essential tool for golf equipment companies. We’re utilizing insights from Arccos data to fuel club design and fitting, and ultimately craft a closer relationship with our consumers through their experiences on the golf course."

Arccos will continue to be managed and operated by the existing and long-standing Arccos leadership team.

The PGA Tour and top equipment manufacturers will become minority shareholders in the company.
