SCOTTSDALE, AZ (AZFamily)<\/b> \u2014 There\u2019s tech everywhere in golf, and the multi-billion-dollar industry is constantly improving.<\/p>\n

At CES 2026, formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show, an AI-powered robot that detects and repairs divots, as well as G Grip, an intelligent golf club designed to give players data about their game, won innovation awards.<\/p>\n

With so many options, it\u2019s easy to spend a lot of money on golf gear. \u201cI think there are a lot of options out there,\u201d said Cori Matheson, an LPGA member and the director of Girls Golf of Phoenix. \u201cPlaying golf is the most important part.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ready for an upgrade, Matheson says the technology you use before you get to the course will make the most difference in your game. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think getting fit is definitely top of my list for tech because what they\u2019re using to help you has advanced so much, and then the equipment, whether it\u2019s the new shaft design or the weight of a head or the design of a head that\u2019s going to help increase ball flight, forgiveness,\u201d she said. \u201cI would highly recommend getting your swing looked at.\u201d<\/p>\n

A low-tech tweak is also important. Manufacturers recommend getting your clubs regripped every year if you\u2019re a regular golfer. \u201cIf your equipment is not in the best shape, then you\u2019re not setting yourself up for success,\u201d Matheson said.<\/p>\n

Golf courses are changing because of technology, too. \u201cOne of the biggest changes I have seen on the golf course,\u201d Matheson said, \u201cThe course is not sharing with us as much of the yardages and things like that on the ground. You used to go play, and there would be a little marker that would tell you or a sprinkler head, but now, because everybody is so tech-based, they\u2019re carrying it in their pocket with a range finder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many golf carts are also equipped with similar technology. Speakers are incorporating course data, too. For example, Bushnell has a new $200 speaker that\u2019s designed for golfers. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou download a little app, and you actually get a visual of the hole, the yardages,\u201d Matheson said. \u201cBut this was my favorite part because when you go play, it\u2019s magnetic.\u201d<\/p>\n
