PGA Tour Moving Forward With Measuring Devices

After a successful trial period, the Tour wants to implement measuring devices in the 2026 season.

Measuring devices seem destined for a permanent place on the PGA Tour in the near future.
The initial results of using DMD devices were provided on a conference call Wednesday with PGA Tour officials and select media.
After a four-week pilot period of testing distance measuring devices (DMDs) on the PGA Tour, which started at the RBC Heritage in April, the data has supported a full program implementation moving forward. This will likely begin next season once the Players Advisory Council and the PGA Tour Policy Board review the testing results and vote to add DMDs to competition.
