TruGolf Links to launch hybrid golf concept for franchisees

TruGolf (TRUG) announced it’s bringing a fully patented hybrid golf simulator solution to the franchise market. This technology, five years in development, puts simulator technology onto physical golf courses allowing for a new, tech infused way of playing golf. Merging the virtual and physical worlds of golf has been recently popularized by the high-profile TGL giving proof that the golfing world is open to new and different playing formats. The company said, “This groundbreaking product is made possible by TruGolf Links long standing close relationship with Nexus Golf. To further that relationship, Nexus Golf has announced a strategic investment in TruGolf Links. With this breakthrough, regional developers will have access to a next-generation indoor-outdoor golf experience, allowing consumers in their area to engage with the sport in an entirely new way. By merging advanced simulation technology with real-world gameplay, this hybrid solution offers a compelling and immersive alternative to traditional golf, making the sport more accessible, interactive, and engaging for players of all skill levels. It also will change the business equation for golf course operators, expanding operating hours, better leveraging existing infrastructure and creating new revenue streams. Hybrid golf technology will allow for full length golf to be played at night without lighting an entire golf course. Night golf is currently limited to smaller par 3 golf courses…The patented hybrid golf simulator solution will be rolled out across TruGolf Links franchise locations, creating new revenue streams for entrepreneurs while giving golf enthusiasts an exciting, modern way to enjoy the game year-round. We anticipate the first hybrid franchise location to be operational by the end of 2025.”
