Arccos Announces Matthew Fitzpatrick as Investor & Tour Ambassador

Arccos has announced PGA Tour star Matthew Fitzpatrick as their new investor and Tour ambassador – and becomes a pioneer to a new analytics service.

Arccos proudly welcomes U.S. Open Champion Matthew Fitzpatrick as an investor and Tour Ambassador, which will see him continue using Arccos to analyze his performance and refine his preparations for PGA Tour events, major championships and Ryder Cups.

Currently No. 14 on the Official World Golf Ranking, Fitzpatrick has tracked his on-course data for over a decade, leveraging it to become the world’s top-ranked amateur by winning the 2013 U.S. Amateur Championship. As a pro, the native of Sheffield, England has represented Europe in three Ryder Cups and claimed eight DP World Tour titles along with the 2022 U.S. Open and the 2023 RBC Heritage on the PGA Tour.

Matt Fitzpatrick as Arccos’ pioneer

Fitzpatrick became the first client of Molinari’s analytics service, now called Arccos Pro Insights, which he credits as key to his U.S. Open victory at Brookline Country Club. Arccos Pro Insights counts more than 35 top professionals as clients – including Fitzpatrick, Viktor Hovland, and Nelly Korda – with Molinari serving as Arccos’ Chief Data Strategist and Lead Tour Ambassador.

“Matt’s success to this point and the role data has played is so impressive to me and speaks to the authenticity of his relationship with Arccos,” said Sal Syed, Arccos CEO & Co-Founder. “He is a user and true advocate for the power of what we have built, especially through his accomplishments while working with Edoardo. With Matt now an investor in Arccos and using the system to capture his data, the insights he provides will help fuel our product development and further accelerate our growth.”

Large variety of data

Arccos has built the sport’s largest on-course dataset, now encompassing over 900 million shots and more than 1.5 trillion data points across 18 million rounds recorded by Arccos members. The system, featuring a smart sensor in each club grip paired with a mobile app, is a trusted tool for both amateurs and elite players worldwide.

“I’ve always had a huge interest in the power of data and how it can help me play my best. That’s why I started to work with Edoardo Molinari and what drove me to use Arccos,” Fitzpatrick shared. “After learning more about the company and meeting CEO Sal Syed, I’m thoroughly impressed by how much they’ve helped golfers make smarter decisions and shoot lower scores. On Tour we use the data to shave a fraction of a stroke so you can imagine the impact Arccos insights have for amateur players.”

New convenient tracking device

Arccos recently launched Link Pro, a device that tracks a player’s shots automatically without a phone and works inside a player’s front pocket to seamlessly capture on-course data. Ideal for use in professional competitions, Link Pro is the size of a car key fob and comes standard with a wireless charging case that provides up to 12 rounds on a single charge.
