From the balls we hit, to the watches we wear on our wrists, technology has seeped into every part of golf.
Now artificial intelligence threatens to change the game in ways we probably haven’t even imagined yet.
But does it enhance the game or detract from it? This week Tom Irwin and Steve Carroll discuss the increasing rise of tech and whether it’s chipping away at golf’s soul.
Should the sport be determined by data or should the golf course be a screen-free zone?
