SAN DIEGO, CA – January 8, 2020 – iGolf is excited to partner with V1 Sports, the Novi, Michigan-based pioneer in golf swing video analysis and player improvement technology. Through the partnership, iGolf’s global course mapping and GPS technology will enhance the on-course intelligence layer within the V1 Sports ecosystem, connecting swing analysis, coaching, and player development with the real-world course environment where improvement is measured.

Through the partnership, V1 Sports will integrate iGolf’s comprehensive GPS course database into its platform, providing accurate course intelligence to support the connection between practice, instruction, and on-course performance. With iGolf’s database covering more than 40,000 mapped golf courses across 177 countries, including detailed hole layouts, green mapping, and geospatial information, V1’s coaching ecosystem will benefit from a more complete understanding of the course context behind player performance.

Founded in 1995, V1 Sports has spent decades developing technology designed to improve the relationship between coaches and golfers. Its platform ecosystem—including V1 COACH, V1 GOLF, and V1 PRO Studio—supports thousands of golf professionals and millions of golfers worldwide by enabling video capture, swing analysis, telestration, voiceover instruction, side-by-side comparisons, and long-term player improvement tracking. Trusted by leading instructors and teaching facilities, V1 has become one of the most recognized names in golf instruction technology.

By integrating iGolf’s course intelligence into its platform, V1 Sports strengthens the connection between what golfers work on during lessons and how those improvements translate to actual rounds. Accurate course data provides additional context for analyzing performance trends, understanding on-course decisions, and creating a more complete improvement cycle between coaching, practice, and play.

“V1 Sports has always been focused on helping golfers and coaches better understand performance and create measurable improvement,” said Ryan Kimberling, Vice President of Sales & Strategy at iGolf. “The connection between instruction and on-course results is where golfers ultimately see progress, and accurate course intelligence plays an important role in understanding that relationship. We’re excited to provide the mapping foundation that helps strengthen the complete improvement experience V1 has built for coaches and players.”
