Arccos Caddie Link Wearable Now Permitted Under the Rules of Golf
STAMFORD, CT – Arccos – the pioneer of big data and artificial intelligence for golf – today announced its Arccos Caddie Link ultralight wearable is now permitted under the Rules of Golf, according to United States Golf Association (USGA) decision #2020-0305.
Compatible with iPhone and Android devices, Link seamlessly pairs with the Arccos Caddie app and sensors, allowing Arccos players to capture their shot data without having to carry a smartphone on the course. Worn on a player’s belt, waistband or pocket, Link tracks shots in real time – including the club used and precise location – and automatically transfers the data to a user’s smartphone via Bluetooth, either during or after the round. This allows golfers to play the game their way, freeing them to keep their phone in a cart, bag, back pocket or elsewhere.
The Arccos Caddie app is also Permitted Under the Rules of Golf, according to USGA decision #2017-0754. It boasts many powerful features, such as Arccos Caddie Strokes Gained Analytics (SGA). Released in August of 2020, SGA is the first platform to allow a player to select any target handicap – from Tour player to 20 – and measure their performance versus that goal across every game facet. SGA shows a player’s overall game stats with trend and scoring analysis. In addition, SGA not only supports deep dives for all performance segments by each round or customizable periods, it automatically highlights a player’s top-3 strengths and weaknesses and provides tips from world-class instructors to help any golfer play smarter and shoot lower scores.
Golf’s first Artificial Intelligence platform, Arccos Caddie automatically tracks your shots while delivering in-round insights and post-round Strokes Gained Analytics. The system includes the world’s first A.I. powered rangefinder, smart distance club averages for each club and caddie advice for any hole on earth. These combine to help golfers of all skill levels make smarter decisions, improve faster and shoot lower scores. Last year, the average Arccos Caddie player who used the system for at least five rounds lowered their handicap by a remarkable 4.2 strokes.

DeChambeau Dismantles Winged Foot to Secure First Major with Bridgestone’s Tour B X Golf Ball
COVINGTON, GA – Bridgestone Golf’s long-hitting sensation, Bryson DeChambeau, pushed the game of golf to new levels, recording an average driver distance of 325 yds, the longest-ever for a US Open Champion, on the way to his first Major victory at the storied Winged Foot golf course. As the only player to finish in red-figures, DeChambeau demonstrated jaw-dropping power, complemented by control and feel, with the Bridgestone Tour B X golf ball rising to meet the demands of golf’s newest phenom. The come-from-behind win marks the 8th victory of the young star’s career and his first Major Championship.
Using Bridgestone Golf’s TOUR B X with REACTIV cover technology, DeChambeau carded the only under-par final round of the tournament, besting Winged Foot with incredible distance, matched only by his balanced touch around the greens as he navigated the deep rough and lightning-quick surfaces that were exceptionally difficult and forecasted to produce a winning score of “plus-8” at the beginning of the week by the hosting Director of Golf Courses.
“Watching Bryson win the first Major of his career is exhilarating, it’s a new game,” said Dan Murphy, President & CEO of Bridgestone Golf. “We have a front row seat to how hard Bryson works, and we know how badly he wants to win. Our investment in R&D, testing and, ultimately, unmatched performance is what it takes to guarantee the kind of ball that Bryson demands. Bryson hoisted the US Open Trophy on Sunday, but this major championship was won in the weeks, months and years leading up to this moment. We’re incredibly happy for Bryson and look forward to many more victories together.”
The TOUR B golf ball series is a result of Bridgestone’s continued commitment to providing premium tee-to-green performance to players of varying swing types. Bridgestone owns over 800 golf ball patents and fully leverages the company’s heritage of excellence in polymer science worldwide to design the industry’s most cutting-edge golf balls.
