iGolf is excited to partner with PinFlag

SAN DIEGO, CA – August 26, 2026 – iGolf is excited to partner with PinFlag, an iOS golf performance platform that puts a number on every decision a golfer makes — showing the strokes-gained value of a shot before it is hit, and measuring what it was actually worth after. Through the partnership, PinFlag will integrate iGolf’s industry-leading golf course mapping and GPS data, providing golfers with accurate course intelligence to support a more data-driven approach to strategy and improvement.

PinFlag is built around a single idea: the smart play should have a number on it. Standing over the ball, a golfer can move the aim point across the hole and watch the strokes-gained value of that target move with it — laying up to the fat side of the green, challenging the bunker line, taking driver over the corner. Each choice carries a price, and PinFlag prints it on the map before the swing, re-pricing the hole after every shot logged and every GPS update. Recording a round takes no typing and no wearable: the satellite map is the scorecard, and a shot is logged in two taps with a single thumb.

After the round, that evidence becomes a portrait of the player’s game. PinFlag measures strokes gained by category — Off the Tee, Approach, Around the Green, and Putting — and reports where each one sits relative to other players at the same level, so a golfer who drives it like a single-digit and putts like a 20 finally sees the split. Because every logged shot carries a stated target, PinFlag’s approach heat maps show misses relative to where the player aimed, not only relative to the flag, and a ranked ledger of penalties, big misses, and three-putts shows what each mistake costs per 18 holes. Every figure is traceable to the shots behind it; where a number can’t be computed from real evidence, the app says why rather than showing an estimate.

Through this partnership, PinFlag will leverage iGolf’s comprehensive golf course mapping database, providing accurate and reliable course intelligence to support its predictive analytics and on-course performance tools. With iGolf’s data spanning more than 40,000 mapped golf courses across 177 countries — including detailed hole layouts, green mapping, and geospatial data — PinFlag users will benefit from trusted course information that enhances the accuracy and context behind every shot analysis and strategic insight delivered through the platform.

The partnership represents a natural alignment between two companies focused on helping golfers improve through better information. PinFlag’s analysis depends on knowing the shape of the hole precisely — where the fairway narrows, where the green falls away, how far the carry really is — and iGolf provides the global course intelligence foundation that supports connected golf experiences. Together, the two companies are helping golfers take a more informed approach to course management and long-term improvement.

“Golfers improve when they have the right information to understand their decisions and performance. PinFlag’s focus on predictive analytics and smarter course strategy aligns closely with iGolf’s mission of providing the trusted course intelligence behind connected golf experiences. We’re excited to partner with PinFlag and support their vision of helping golfers make better decisions on every shot,” said Ryan Kimberling, Vice President of Sales & Strategy at iGolf.

“Every golfer stands in the fairway guessing what the smart play is. PinFlag ends the guessing — the smart play has a number on it, and you’re looking at it,” said PinFlag’s founder. “That only works if the ground underneath it is right. iGolf has spent more than twenty years mapping the courses people actually play, and their data lets us give a golfer in Houston or Hertfordshire the same quality of answer on the tee.”

PinFlag’s integration with iGolf’s global course data infrastructure strengthens its ability to deliver a more intelligent golf experience — combining predictive performance insights, shot tracking, and accurate course intelligence to help golfers better understand and improve their game.
