TORONTO, June 3, 2020 – Tour Experience Golf (TXG), North America’s #2 ranked clubfitter, today announced that is has named Arccos Golf its Official On-Course Data Partner and will soon begin incorporating the Arccos Caddie system as a mandatory component of full-bag fitting services provided by Ian Fraser, TXG Founder and CEO.

TXG will also retail Arccos Caddie Smart Grip and Smart Sensor kits, leverage Arccos data as part of its recently-launched virtual fitting service, and incorporate related insights into content on its popular YouTube channel.
“We want everyone who visits TXG to walk away saying ‘that was great value for the money and a worthwhile investment in my game,’” said Fraser. “Seeing what happens on the course after that fitting is an essential part of that equation which has really been missing until now. The information that Arccos provides truly connects the dots and is going to change the game.”
Via the Arccos Dashboard, TXG fitters will have direct access to rich insights and data visualizations for each client’s shot-by-shot history, Smart Distance club averages, club gapping, club usage, dispersion patterns, miss tendencies and more.
