Foresight Sports, the manufacturer of launch monitors and golf simulation technology, has entered into a strategic partnership with PuttView, an AI-powered interactive putting solution.
The partnership will integrate Foresight’s simulator technology with PuttView’s putting solution to enhance indoor golf play.
Foresight Sports and PuttView noted that “traditional simulator golf is designed to replicate the feel and challenge of playing on a real course, offering players an authentic experience from the comfort of their own space. However, one of its longstanding limitations has been putting, which often lacks the precision and realism needed to mirror the nuances of the short game.” With this merger, the companies “are bridging this gap by providing enthusiasts with a more realistic and engaging gameplay experience.”
“We are excited to lean in on a strategic partnership with PuttView to take the reality of golf simulation to the next level, delivering what players have been clamoring for over the last decade,” said Tim Tiel, brand marketing manager at Foresight Sports.
From detailed ball flight tracking to green simulations, the integration of both companies “ensures every shot from tee to green feels like traditional on-course golf.”
PuttView noted that its technology “accurately projects the in-game putt onto an actual sloped putting green for golfers to engage with. Golfers putt out on the physical PuttView green with various slopes and distances. In simulator play, after a player has reached the green, the in-game data is automatically displayed and projected onto the putting surface. Once the putt has been holed, the software automatically transitions the player to the next hole. Golfers can also leverage PuttView’s standalone system to practice their putting skills with PuttView’s drills, games, custom practice scenarios, and data analysis.”
“Simulator golf has always shown great potential, but putting hasn’t played a major role until now,” added Christoph Pregizer, managing director at PuttView. “Thanks to this partnership, golfers worldwide can now access a complete experience, including putting, whether they’re at home, in training facilities, academies, or anywhere else.”
