Arccos Golf's New Wearable: Revolutionizing Golf Data

Arccos Golf, a Stamford-based tech company, has amassed a massive database of 1.5 billion golf shots from players worldwide. Founded by CEO Sal Syed in 2013, the company has raised $50 million in funding, including a recent $20 million investment from the PGA Tour. Their app uses this data to provide personalized club picks and weak-spot fixes.

The company is moving away from club sensors and introducing the Arccos Air, a pocket wearable that automatically tracks shots using motion and GPS. This device builds on their previous technology, offering real-time tips based on a players history, weather, and course layout.

Syeds initial frustration with manual tracking and basic scoring has led to a product that enhances the golfing experience without detracting from the enjoyment of the game. Pros and golf equipment giants like Ping and TaylorMade also use Arccos data to improve club designs and fittings for everyday golfers.

With hundreds of thousands of users playing at least ten rounds a year, Arccos is capitalizing on a growing market. The GPS golf tech market was valued at $3.59 billion in 2024 and is expected to double by 2032. The company sells its products online and in stores like Dicks Sporting Goods, outpacing competitors by keeping data capture simple.

Looking forward, Arccos plans to release new gear and improve its software to help golfers make the most of every swing. Syeds goal is to create tools that turn guesswork into gains, helping dedicated players improve their game without unnecessary hassle.
