Golf tech used to mean a laser rangefinder and maybe a handheld GPS. Now it means AI caddies that adjust your yardages for wind and elevation in real time, launch monitors that fit in your back pocket and simulate 43,000 courses, GPS watches with AMOLED screens sharper than your phone, and Bluetooth speakers that double as course maps. The category has exploded — and most of it actually makes your round better, not just more complicated.
This is 18 picks across the full spectrum. GPS watches from the $250 Shot Scope V5 to the $2,550 TAG Heuer x TaylorMade collab. Rangefinders with wind adjustment and club recommendations. Personal launch monitors that used to cost $20K five years ago, now under $700. Smart sensors that track every shot automatically. And a few on-course devices that solve problems you didn't know you had. No fluff — just the tech that's actually interesting right now.
