WAYNE, PA – Golf Genius, the golf industry’s leading provider of cloud solutions for golfers and golf professionals, facilities, tours and associations, and Legends, a global premium experiences company, today announced a new strategic partnership aimed at expanding their respective offerings to benefit golf pro shops and their customers.
Golf Genius provides comprehensive tournament management, golf shop productivity, and coaching solutions to more than 10,000 B2B customers in 63 countries. The company’s consumer products are used by millions of golfers worldwide.
MyShop, launched by Legends in 2023 through its partnership with the PGA of America, is an eCommerce solution built to enhance the retail experience at private and public golf facilities nationwide.

Golf Genius and its sales team of PGA Professionals will work with the MyShop team to market and educate facilities across the country on how to deliver and benefit from this enhanced eCommerce experience.
George Hansen, Vice President of Business Development for Golf Genius, said: “PGA Professionals are at the center of everything we do.
