Let’s go through the options available.
Online Play
Through the Trackman App, you can now add friends from all over the world to compete against.
It’s as simple as inviting them through their intuitive interface, selecting the course, and then adjusting the settings (tees, turf firmness, wind, etc).
If you love to compete, this is a great way to test your game against your buddies and add more pressure to your home simulator environment.
Local and Global Tournaments
Through the Trackman interface, you also have the option to join tons of local or global tournaments.
Local leagues are created by simulator facilities or various groups of golfers. There can be different team formats (scramble or best ball), stroke play competitions, and the opportunity to create a prize pool.
Through the Trackman app, you can also access a variety of virtual tournaments where you compete against players from around the world on different virtual courses.
NEXT Golf Tour

Other significant prizes include DP World Tour and LIV Golf invitations.
These tournaments have become quite popular with spectators as well. Players record live videos of their rounds through the NEXT app that are available for replay on the leaderboard. Viewers can watch a split-screen view of every shot, seeing the golfer’s swing and the simulated ball flight.
