College Golf Experience (CGX), the premier college golf education and camp organisation endorsed by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA), is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership with The Universal Golf Rankings (TUGR).
TUGR, renowned for its precise, unbiased, and comprehensive rankings and advanced analytics, will offer CGX camp participants a sophisticated platform to track their junior golf ranking, tournament performance, and improvement trends.
“TUGR has developed one of the most innovative platforms for ranking tournament golfers, providing a vital tool for college coaches to utilise during the recruiting process,” stated CGX founder and CEO, Joshua Jacobs.
“CGX is invested in educating parents and juniors on creating the best path to college golf and finding the right fit.
TUGR provides an invaluable educational tool for juniors and parents to better understand how they accurately compare to other players.
We are very excited to be able to partner with them and impact both players and coaches.”
A New Era for Junior Golf
This partnership means that CGX will now supply TUGR rankings to coaches before all CGX camps, which include Tournament Prep Camps, Prospect Camps, and Exposure Camps like CGX Top25 Camps, Ivy Golf Institute Camps, DIII Camps, and International Camps.
Additionally, juniors and parents will receive access to player TUGR rankings and exclusive discount codes for upgrading to TUGR’s premium Legend and Hero package subscriptions.
The partnership will also introduce new academic data on players, including GPA, SAT, and ACT scores, enhancing the player reports available to coaches.
“The ability to develop this data and provide access for coaches to track and easily filter the information will save coaches a ton of time when trying to find the best fit for their teams,” continued Jacobs.
Leveraging Advanced Analytics
TUGR Junior employs head-to-head matchups and cloud computing to deliver precise player rankings, offering unparalleled insights, analytics, and game improvement strategies.
TUGR’s player analytics encompass basic scoring details such as average score, low round, best four-round average, scoring volatility, and performance on par 3s, 4s, and 5s.
Additional statistics include the number of tournaments played, opponents faced, competitors beaten, win rate, and head-to-head records with ranked opponents.
Boasting the largest and most detailed database of junior golfers, TUGR provides the most accurate and comprehensive rankings by utilising a cloud-based optimizer and a mathematically sophisticated algorithm.
“We are very excited to partner with College Golf Experience and look forward to this new venture together,” said Jeff Bullock, Co-Founder of TUGR.
“CGX, with how they bring together juniors and college coaches, is a perfect fit for TUGR, allowing us to provide the most accurate rankings and comprehensive data for players as they bring their ranking, scores, and tournament resume to life.
It’s a game-changer for coaches who love the platform and how simple it is to access so much key data when evaluating players during recruiting.
The more we interact with the CGX team, the more we see this as a natural partnership due to our shared values and goals.”
Bridging Juniors and College Coaches
CGX’s mission is to connect junior golfers and their parents with college coaches, providing a platform for exposure, mutual learning, and education about the college golf landscape.
Tailored for young men and women ages 12-18, these educational camps feature seminars led by college coaches covering all aspects of college golf, the recruiting process, and course management strategies, including open Q&A sessions for parents.
CGX camps also offer college golf practice sessions, skill development challenges, and on-course interactions between coaches and players.
Parents are encouraged to participate in every aspect of the camp experience.
