SAN DIEGO, CA – March 16, 2016 – iGolf is excited to partner with GolfStatus, a Lincoln, Nebraska-based golf technology company whose platform connects everyday golfers with golf facilities, tournaments, and nonprofit fundraising events. Through the partnership, iGolf’s global GPS course database and mapping technology will support GolfStatus across both its consumer golf application and event management platform, expanding the accuracy, depth, and reach of the course intelligence available to its users.

Through the partnership, GolfStatus will integrate iGolf’s comprehensive GPS course database across its platform, providing accurate course information for golfers and event organizers. With iGolf’s database covering more than 40,000 mapped golf courses across 177 countries, including detailed hole layouts, green mapping, and geospatial information, GolfStatus can expand its GPS capabilities while providing reliable course-specific information across its consumer and tournament experiences.

GolfStatus is particularly unique in the way it connects traditional golf technology with tournament management and charitable fundraising. Its mobile app provides golfers with hole-by-hole GPS distances, live scoring, round tracking and statistics, tournament registration, GHIN score posting, and rewards. For golf courses, tournament organizers, and nonprofits, GolfStatus provides event management technology supporting online registration, payment processing, sponsor management, hole assignments, live leaderboards, and custom event websites. Through GolfStatus.org, the company also makes its technology available at no cost to qualifying nonprofit organizations, helping charities use golf as a platform for fundraising and community engagement.

“GolfStatus demonstrates how golf technology can create value well beyond the individual round,” said Ryan Kimberling, Vice President of Sales & Strategy at iGolf. “Their platform serves golfers while also giving courses, tournament organizers, and nonprofit organizations the tools to create successful events and raise money for important causes. We’re excited for iGolf’s course intelligence to support both sides of that experience and help GolfStatus extend its technology across an even broader network of golf courses and events.”
