The PGA Tour Vision is a new spatial app for Apple Vision Pro. It was unveiled alongside 600 new apps on the App Store. It is a spatial computing app that will use real-time shot tracking techniques. Furthermore, it also has 3D models of golf courses and will display key stats like leaderboards, scorecards, schedules, and course information, among others.

The app will bring the excitement of being on the greens to the comfort of the user’s house. People who buy Apple Vision Pro can enjoy multiple iconic courses like the Augusta Nationals GC and Pebble Beach while sitting in their homes. However, the app will be available to download via the App Store on February 2.
But the app will only work on Apple Vision Pro, which will cost $3,499. The 4K display coming with the device may justify the price. Furthermore, Scott Gutterman, PGA Tour’s senior vice president of Digital Operations, has nothing but praise for this app.
