The Masters 2024: How are Trackman products used to help the best?

With The Masters 2024 tournament well and truly in the books, it proved to be another exciting and unmissable few days of top-quality golf.

As with all major tournaments, golfing fans the world over converge on the relevant courses, or watch from the comfort of their own homes on TV, to see their golfing heroes edge out the competition and hit some of the best shots of their lives.

But aside from heading out onto the course every day, what else do professional golfers do to sharpen their skills before big events? With the weather being as unpredictable as it is, and other personal factors getting in the way, even the most dedicated and recognisable golfers can’t always reach their local course to squeeze in a quick eighteen holes.

That’s why some of the biggest names in the sport today rely on Trackman products - like simulators and launch monitors stocked here at Black Box Golf - to help them walk into a big match with the confidence and practice they need to succeed.

Which Masters 2024 players use Trackman golf products?

Trackman products, including the ever-popular Trackman Golf Simulator, are used by some of the most famous names in the golf game today. Speaking of the Trackman Virtual Golf Simulator specifically, several stars with legendary status had significant input into its design - including several big names who competed at this year’s Masters tournament.

Sergio Garcia, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Justin Thomas, and Tiger Woods have all enjoyed working with the Trackman Virtual Golf Simulator at some point in their career, opting not only to use it when real-life golf wasn’t an option, but to also contribute to its success.

All of the above players competed at the 2024 Masters and, whether or not they played to their absolute best, it’s safe to say they’re competing at a level most golfers only ever dream of - in part thanks to hours of practice they put in on the Trackman Virtual Gold Simulator, alongside other beloved Trackman products.

How does the Trackman Virtual Golf Simulator help professionals sharpen their game?

One of the world’s leading indoor golf simulators, the Trackman simulator can acutely detect the correct flight path, speed, distance, and involved angles in your golf shot, for the most authentic golf experience next to the real thing. This helps you see, to the closest degree possible, how your shot would have fared in a real-life golf situation, utilising innovative impact detection and Doppler radar technology.

The simulator consists of a large, softened screen designed to withstand your most powerful golf strikes. Then, a projection of a golf course is presented on-screen, creating the illusion the player in question is standing at the tee. Upon driving the ball into the screen, the Trackman simulator - along with optically enhanced radar tracking technology and advanced software - collects the ball data to detect where precisely it would have landed in real time.

Golfers using the Trackman Virtual Golf Simulator can choose from a huge lineup of world-famous golf courses to play, meaning they can visit and experience some of the most hallowed ground in the sport without ever leaving their front door. These include such revered courses as St Andrews Links Castle Course, Aurora International, Hong Kong Golf Club, and many more. These simulators can even present varying weather conditions and times of the day, like sunset, adding an extra element of realism to the system.

By enjoying regular sessions on the Trackman simulator, everyone from complete novices to hardened golf veterans has the tools they need to practice almost wherever they see fit and lower their score effectively - without a single green or fairway in sight.
