SALT LAKE CITY, UT, Jan. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TruGolf Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:TRUG) today announced it will be participating in the 2026 PGA Show in Orlando, Florida from January 20–23, 2026, at booth 784. TruGolf will highlight its latest technology innovations across Golf Simulator, Launch Monitor, and commercial range categories—including LaunchBox and its next-generation indoor range platform, TruGolf RANGE, featuring the Company's new TruGolf AI Coach experience.

TruGolf RANGE: New Data-Driven Practice Bay Experiences Built for Repeat Visits and Facility Monetization

TruGolf RANGE allows for 7 players to practice simultaneously on a single cinematic screen. This immersive experience provides a true interactive and social golf experience - recreating the green grass driving range experience indoors. For players focused on improvement, each hitting bay in the TruGolf RANGE offers advanced analytics including: Slow Motion Replay of Club and Ball Interaction, Ball Flight Data, and integrated AI Analysis of swing tendencies.

In addition to traditional practice, TruGolf RANGE will feature structured training workflows and competitive experiences—including skills challenges and games—aimed at driving repeat play, league-style participation, coaching sessions, and group events. TruGolf RANGE was designed to help operators differentiate their facilities and improve revenue with quick-turn experiences for customers.

TruGolf will also preview TruGolf AI Coach, which analyzes a player's shot data and tendencies to deliver easy-to-follow insights, instructions, and drills—helping golfers translate data into actionable improvement more quickly. 

"We're going to the PGA Show with a clear message: TruGolf is building the future of modern golf practice," said Chris Jones, Chief Executive Officer of TruGolf. "TruGolf RANGE is not just an indoor range concept—it's a scalable platform with engaging new modes that keep golfers coming back, while giving operators tools to improve utilization and unit economics. Adding an AI-driven coaching layer that turns shot data into clear next steps makes the experience even more compelling for both players and facilities. We believe the PGA Show will be a major catalyst for customer interest across our commercial product lineup."

TruGolf RANGE is designed around a modern, account-based golfer experience. Players can quickly access their profile at the bay and track performance over time, while facilities can leverage a scalable operating model suitable for private clubs, resorts, and high-volume commercial venues. TruGolf RANGE also supports a broad set of deployment options—from compact installations to wide-format, multi-bay environments intended for clinics, competitions, and branded activations. 

The first TruGolf RANGE installation will be part of the Golf Everywhere project in Flower Mound, Texas.
