2007 Masters champ benefits from use of world’s No. 1 golf GPS app
(SCOTTSDALE, AZ) – GolfLogix – the No. 1 App for Golf and a world leader in GPS and club-tracking technology – announces that seven-time PGA Tour winner and 2007 Masters champion Zach Johnson has become the inaugural staff player on the company’s Tour roster.
Through this multi-year agreement, the 35-year-old will showcase the brand’s logo on his shirt sleeve during competition, be featured in GolfLogix marketing initiatives and interact with the company’s nearly 1.5 million online community members.
“Knowing the exact distance to a pin and other locations from tee to green drastically improves my course management and, in turn, my ability to score,” says Johnson. “GolfLogix offers an amazing array of free services and the expanded premium benefits make this app the best value in golf.”
A two-time member of the U.S. Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup teams, Johnson is the only player to shoot 60 twice on the PGA Tour. Renowned for his short game and tenacity, the native Iowan was one of only two players to win an event every season from 2007-10, along with Phil Mickelson.
“Zach’s exceptional record can be credited, in part, to his precise preparation leading up to every event and before each shot,” says Pete Charleston, President of GolfLogix. “This fits perfectly with GolfLogix supplying Tour-quality information to millions of golfers worldwide, without requiring them to purchase an extra device.”
Easily downloaded from www.GolfLogix.com, the free GolfLogix GPS app is compatible with more than 60 smartphone models. It provides accurate distances to the center of the green, yardage book quality imagery of each hole, scorekeeping and in-round pro-level stat tracking for nearly 30,000 courses worldwide. For less than $20, an upgraded annual Champion membership provides golfers with club tracking and distances to any location on the hole – including pin position, hazards and landing zones.
All membership levels include access to the GolfLogix Member Clubhouse, the No. 1 online golf community where millions of golfers interact through social forums, offer challenges to fellow golfers and maintain an indexed handicap. Personal web pages for each user also stores performance statistics, so every round can be analyzed by fairways hit, greens in regulation, putting, shot trends and more.
