Why are pros using laser rangefinders, GPS at the 2024 PGA Championship?

A reminder, this is the only major that allows the devices.

The PGA of America announced back in 2021 that it would allow the use of distance-measuring devices in its three professional major championships – PGA Championship, KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship – starting that year.

The devices made their first appearance at the 2021 PGA Championship at Kiawah Island Golf Resort’s Ocean Course in South Carolina.

“We’re always interested in methods that may help improve the flow of play during our Championships,” said Jim Richerson, then the president of the PGA of America. “The use of distance-measuring devices is already common within the game and is now a part of the Rules of Golf. Players and caddies have long used them during practice rounds to gather relevant yardages.”

The PGA of America became the first major body to allow the devices in all its premier professional events. There had been speculation for years that such devices might help speed play, as players and caddies don’t have to walk off yardages to sprinkler heads and other fixed positions.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIPHow to watch | Tournament hub | Friday tee times

The United States Golf Association’s Rules of Golf have allowed the use of laser rangefinders and GPS devices in casual play and tournaments since 2006, but a local rule allowed a tournament committee to ban such devices. At elite professional levels of play, the devices still have not been embraced for competition rounds, though they have been allowed in the U.S. Amateur since 2014. They are still not allowed during competition rounds at PGA Tour events or at the U.S. Open and British Opens.

In keeping with Rule 4.3a (1), the devices allowed can report only on distance and direction. Devices that calculate elevation changes or wind speeds, or that suggest a club for a player as well as other data, will not be allowed.

The devices aren’t new for the pros, many of whom already use laser rangefinders and GPS in practice rounds.

Many laser rangefinders provide information on elevation changes and “plays-like” distances. Most of those devices come with a switch to turn off such information, but many elite players opt for devices that do not provide elevation and other data as a precaution against forgetting to turn off those functions.

Bushnell Tour V6 Slope laser rangefinder

Bushnell’s newest laser rangefinder offers crystal-clear optics, water-resistance and sophisticated “plays like” yardages.

When it comes to playing golf, having accurate distance measurements is crucial for making the right club and shot decisions. That’s where laser rangefinders can come in handy, and the latest model from one of the biggest names in laser rangefinders, Bushnell, is the Tour V6 Shift.

The Tour V6 Shift ($399.99) has improved optics with 6X magnification to make objects you see in the viewfinder clearer and more detailed. The device also has a range from five to 1,300 yards, with accuracy within one yard, so it is capable of delivering highly accurate yardages on even the longest par 5s.

When you press the button on the top of the Tour V6 Shift, look through the viewfinder, and slowly move it to the side, the Tour V6 Shift’s PinSeeker with JOLT technology makes the device vibrate in your hand when the flag is detected. It is a reassuring way to know that you are measuring the flag and not trees or objects directly behind it.

Additionally, the V6 Shift has an updated slope algorithm, which automatically adjusts distances based on elevation changes. This feature is especially helpful for golfers playing on hilly courses, as it helps to compensate for uphill and downhill shots. In tournament play, the Slope function can be disabled by sliding a button on the side of the unit forward.

The V6 Shift has Bushnell’s BITE magnet on one side so you can attach it to your golf cart and keep it handy while you play, and it is the most water-resistant laser rangefinder that Bushnell has ever made, ensuring it can withstand rainy days on the course.

The V6 Shift lacks the ability to link to your smartphone like the Bushnell Pro X3, so it can not take temperature and barometric pressure into consideration when calculating Slope and “plays like” distances. It also displays information only in black, while the Pro X3 gives you a choice of black or red, which can be helpful in different conditions. However, The V6 Shift feels lighter in your hand, so JOLT vibrations feel stronger, and it costs $200 less.
