GOLFZON Unveils a Range of Products at the 2024 PGA Show

GOLFZON, the world’s No. 1 golf simulator brand, announced that it is taking part in the 2024 PGA Show, presenting a diverse business portfolio at Booth 2727, including its award-winning simulators, the WAVE product family, and customer-experience elements from its Golfzon Social and Golfzon Range by Leadbetter venues.

Since entering the North American market, GOLFZON has successfully expanded into the local market in a variety of ways, drawing on the simulator technology and competitiveness it has proven in the global market. In particular, going beyond simply selling products, GOLFZON has partnered with Troon, the world’s largest golf course operator, to launch the entertainment-focused Golfzon Social, and has joined forces with world-renowned golf instructor David Leadbetter to develop the Golfzon Leadbetter Academy and the improvement-focused Golfzon Range.

At this year’s exhibition booth, GOLFZON brings each of these businesses to life as follows.

Golfzon Social

Two TwoVision simulators—the same model installed at Golfzon Social venues and among the most advanced simulators on the market—are available for anyone to try. In addition, to convey the friendly and enjoyable atmosphere that is distinctive to Golfzon Social, a complimentary happy hour will be held at the bar area within the booth at 4 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday.

Golfzon Range

Golfzon Range staff operate the GDR+ simulator on site, showcasing its strengths as a simulator specialized for game improvement and lessons. Golfzon Range by Leadbetter is a new indoor training concept that combines self-directed learning, real-time lessons, and unlimited driving-range use. By pairing GOLFZON’s advanced simulator technology with Leadbetter’s world-class golf instruction expertise, it provides existing golfers with the tools to improve their game and offers new golfers an environment in which to learn golf more quickly.

In addition, Golfzon Leadbetter Academy coaches will offer swing tips on the GDR+ and will also share information about Golfzon Leadbetter Education, a new coach training program.

Sean Pyun, CEO of GOLFZON America, said, “In recent years GOLFZON’s business foundation has expanded significantly, and GOLFZON simulators and venues can now be found not only across the United States but also in Canada and Mexico,” adding, “This market acceptance is because GOLFZON technology has become synonymous with quality. GOLFZON simulators are a highly polished solution well suited to a wide range of uses, including entertainment, lessons, and the operation of virtual tournaments.”

Golfzon WAVE New Products and Updates

GOLFZON is expanding its 2024 WAVE lineup with the introduction of WAVE Play, a family-friendly product. Users can simply connect WAVE Play to an existing WAVE launch monitor device or to an Android or iOS device with the WAVE M app installed. The included club is designed to recreate the feel of striking a real golf ball through a built-in magnetic impact ball that moves along the shaft. GOLFZON’s gyro sensor technology tracks the club path and provides realistic performance feedback. WAVE Play is a simple and reasonably priced solution that lets users create an immersive golf simulator experience anywhere, without the need for separate golf equipment.

The existing WAVE, which offers both golf simulator and launch monitor functions, is being refreshed in 2024 through a WAVE M software upgrade. The free app is available on iOS and Android devices and adds 23 new courses. Beyond its simulation features, WAVE can track 34 data points and can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Users can connect WAVE to a PC to run GOLFZON’s Vision Wave software, enabling a fast, accurate, and true-to-life play experience. Depending on the subscription option, a variety of courses can be added, including the Old Course at St. Andrews and Harbour Town Golf Links. In addition, a putting mat equipped with Precision Infrared Technology delivers a true-to-life putting experience down to the most delicate putts.

WAVE Play will be available for pre-order this spring. Further details and sign-ups for updates can be found on GOLFZON’s official website.
