STAMFORD, Conn., January 24, 2024 – Arccos – the leader in connected A.I. golf products and the Official Game Tracker of the PGA TOUR – today announced the launch of Link Pro, a revolutionary device that tracks a player’s shots automatically without a phone and works inside a player’s front pocket to seamlessly capture on-course data.
Available today at Arccosgolf.com and key retailers worldwide, Link Pro is the 3rd-generation in this successful product line. The New Link Pro is built on member feedback to deliver a better experience to track shots automatically without carrying a phone. New features include:
- Works in Pocket - Automatically tracks shots in pocket without needing to carry a phone
- Wireless Charging Case – Boasting up to 12 rounds on a single charge for exceptional convenience, the case is quickly rechargeable and about the size of an average wallet
- Enhanced GPS – A new GPS chip ensures incredibly quick satellite lock at the start of each round while enhancing data accuracy on the course
- Multi-Mic Configuration – This leading-edge approach ensures highly accurate shot detection while the device remains in a player’s front pocket
- Pin Set Button – The introduction of a dedicated button with click feedback allows users to accurately mark the hole location while Link Pro is in pocket
“Our product vision is to continuously remove friction from on-course data capture, and Link Pro is a giant step in that direction for amateurs and elite pros alike,” said Dave LeDonne, Arccos Vice President of Product. “Our members asked to be able to use it in pocket and not have to remember to charge the device, we listened and innovated. It’s a major technical breakthrough by our in-house hardware team. When you add all the other benefits, the result is a device that’s precise, less intrusive, easier to use, and always ready for your next round.”
The size of a car key fob, Link Pro (MSRP: €239.99) comes standard with the wireless charging case. Once paired with the Arccos app, Link Pro works seamlessly with Arccos Smart Sensors (sold separately) to track your game on the course. It allows players to choose what they want to do with their phone during a round – keeping it in the bag, listening to music, taking a call, or leveraging Arccos’ A.I. Powered Rangefinder and caddie recommendations.
Compatible with iOS and Android devices, Link Pro has already been ruled permitted under the Rules of Golf (Decision #2023-0650). The Arccos system, including Link Pro, is the only game tracking platform other than ShotLink powered by CDW to be approved for use on the PGA TOUR, PGA TOUR Champions, Korn Ferry Tour, and PGA TOUR Americas.
Golf’s #1 game tracker, Arccos has built golf’s largest on-course dataset. Today that includes more than 850 million shots and 1.5 trillion data points recorded during nearly 18 million rounds played by Arccos members. The system, which consists of a sensor in each club grip that pairs with a mobile app, has long been trusted by amateurs and elite players worldwide.
Late last year, Arccos announced a strategic fundraising round featuring several of golf’s biggest brands and most impactful businesses, headlined by the PGA TOUR alongside PING, Inc., TaylorMade Golf Company, Cobra PUMA Golf, and Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (NYSE: MODG), among others. The company’s focus: fully leverage and accelerate the growth of the game’s largest data set to help the entire golf ecosystem by allowing players, coaches, club fitters, and product designers to make smarter decisions that are based on real performance data.
