The world’s premier range golf competition—The Inrange World Tour (IWT)— announced its return for a third consecutive season. The competition skyrocketed a staggering 4.5x in participation last year, and this month marks the start of the new season with the high-stakes launch of the Myrtle Beach pre-tour Qualifier.
The disruptive off-course golf tour is set to light up competitive Range Golf across 18 countries at the 90+ venues within the Inrange Partner Network. The format -monthly 6 hole contests on some of the world's best courses - follows closely on the success of Season 2, with a few exciting additions for Season 3.
Divisional scoring - This year’s tour deploys algorithmically-calibrated, performance-based divisions drawn from Inrange’s global network data. Every competitor has a genuine path to winning their division, with a dynamic promotion/relegation model that continuously recalibrates placements based on live performance data. No sandbagging. No luck of the draw. Pure competitive precision.
Tour Elites - Inrange’s radar network has been tracking the most elite range golfers on the planet. Season 3 introduces an invitation-only Elites tier - the top performers surfaced by Inrange’s full network dataset - who will become the faces of Range Golf as a Sport and compete for a share of $30,000. These aren’t just the best players,
they’re the avid net promoters.
Team Play - Season 3 collides with one of golf’s greatest team rivalries: the Solheim Cup. During a portion of the tour, players will declare allegiance to Team Europe or US Team, competing across 3 rounds where scores also count toward a collective team result. This year’s tour will also include Bernardus Golf course - the Solheim Cup host venue - which Inrange is currently precision-scanning into its software.

When asked about the IWT, programme lead and Global Brand Manager at Inrange Ian Blunt had this to say:
"We’re changing the conversation around what range golf looks like. For decades, it’s been limited to just practice, which fundamentally ignores the competitive spark that’s built into every golfer. Our goal is to get players game-ready, and then give them the platform to actually prove it against their peers - both locally and internationally."
The hunt for glory officially begins on May 1st, with Round 1 taking place on a digital replica of the 2024 Olympic host venue, Le Golf National.
