Their use has become commonplace with Tour Professionals as players hunt for the slightest advantage, or marginal gain, to enhance their preparation, training and performance.
Offering an engaging, insightful perspective into the role of data in golf, the DP World Tour and Official Cybersecurity Partner Fortinet have collaborated on the Data Drive.
