SAN DIEGO, CA – April 16, 2026 – iGolf is excited to partner with Moneyball Golf Technologies Pty Ltd, an Australian golf technology company developing MONEYBALL GOLF, a new platform designed to connect competition and performance across real golf courses, driving ranges, and virtual golf environments. Through the partnership, Moneyball Golf Technologies will leverage iGolf’s industry-leading golf course mapping and geospatial data as it develops a technology ecosystem spanning mobile software, golf simulation, performance analytics, handicapping, and skill-based competition.
Moneyball Golf Technologies is developing its platform around the concept that a golfer’s performance can be measured, validated, and compared regardless of where the golf shot takes place. Recent Australian and U.S. trademark filings for MONEYBALL GOLF describe technology allowing golfers to compete across physical courses, driving ranges, and simulated environments, supported by software that collects and analyzes golf performance data. The planned ecosystem includes mobile applications, golf simulation technology, launch monitors, swing and ball-flight sensors, rangefinding capabilities, and tools for calculating golf performance metrics and handicaps.
A particularly innovative component of the platform is its focus on creating a common competitive framework between different golf environments. Moneyball Golf Technologies’ filings describe traditional and synthetic golf handicaps, along with software designed to calculate probabilities, outcomes, and performance metrics. The company is also developing technology to validate golf performance using sensor data, video analysis, and artificial intelligence — creating the potential for verified results from different playing environments to become part of the same competitive ecosystem.
Competition is central to that vision. MONEYBALL GOLF is being developed to support skill-based golf competitions, including competitions offering prizes or rewards, across golf courses, ranges, and virtual environments. Moneyball Golf Technologies has also filed the SKILLSHOT GOLF trademark covering a closely related ecosystem of golf competition, simulation, performance measurement, handicapping, and AI-supported shot validation technology. Both Australian trademark applications were filed on March 19, 2026, reflecting the early development stage of the company’s broader technology platform.
iGolf’s global course intelligence provides an important real-world component of that ecosystem. With more than 40,000 mapped golf courses across 177 countries, iGolf can provide the structured course and geospatial information necessary to connect performance recorded on physical golf courses with the broader digital environment Moneyball Golf Technologies is developing. As the platform evolves, accurate course geometry can provide context for where shots occur, how performance is evaluated, and how real-world golf can interact with range and simulator-based competition.
The partnership represents an emerging application for iGolf’s mapping infrastructure. Rather than treating on-course golf, launch-monitor practice, and simulation as independent experiences, Moneyball Golf Technologies is developing technology intended to create continuity between them. Combining iGolf’s understanding of the physical golf course with performance measurement, simulation, sensors, and AI-based validation creates the foundation for golfers to potentially measure and compare their abilities across multiple ways of playing the game.
“Moneyball Golf Technologies is exploring an exciting idea for the future of the game — creating a connected environment where golf performance can extend across the course, the range, and virtual golf. That requires reliable data about both the golfer and the environment in which they are playing. iGolf’s global course intelligence provides the real-world component of that equation, and we’re excited to work with the Moneyball Golf team as they develop new ways to connect competition, performance, and technology across the different places golfers play,” said Ryan Kimberling, Vice President of Sales & Strategy at iGolf.
iGolf is a global golf technology company specializing in golf course mapping, GPS content, geospatial intelligence, and virtual golf solutions. With more than 20 years of mapping expertise, iGolf licenses data for over 40,000 golf courses across 177 countries, powering products from more than 100 partners worldwide. Each year, more than 30 million rounds of golf are played using iGolf-powered GPS and course intelligence. The company’s technology portfolio also supports launch monitors, virtual golf, golf carts, laser rangefinders, mobile applications, and other connected golf experiences.
Moneyball Golf Technologies Pty Ltd is an Australian golf technology company developing the MONEYBALL GOLF platform. Based in Melbourne, the company is developing technology designed to connect golf competition and performance across physical golf courses, driving ranges, and simulated environments. Its filed technology scope encompasses mobile golf software, simulation and launch-monitor technology, performance analytics, traditional and synthetic handicapping, shot and swing measurement, AI and sensor-based performance validation, and skill-based golf competitions. Moneyball Golf Technologies also owns the pending Australian SKILLSHOT GOLF trademark covering related technology and services. As of August 2026, MONEYBALL GOLF remains an emerging platform, with its U.S. trademark application filed June 17, 2026 and no first-use-in-commerce date reported in the filing.
