 Shot Scope, an industry-leader in advanced GPS, rangefinder and shot tracking technology, has secured $8.5 million in Series B funding, accelerating its offering of acclaimed products and game improving data to more than 60 million golfers worldwide.

Led by Guinness Ventures, which invested $4 million, the company has raised the capital to continue its rapid global expansion and strong investment into product development, specialist resources and brand marketing – as it continues to provide subscription free, game-enhancing technology to golfers. With GPS wearables, laser rangefinders, and shot tracking devices, Shot Scope is committed to offering products and analytics tools to help players of all skill levels.

“This investment accelerates our mission to deliver game improvement technology to 60 million golfers around the world. Throughout 2024, we plan to invest in infrastructure across North America and beyond to support our retail and distribution partners,” said David Hunter, Founder and CEO of Shot Scope. “Golf has experienced a huge change in the past five years, as people of all ages and demographics are entering the sport. With Shot Scope they can improve quickly and enjoy the game they love even more.”


Founded in 2024 in Scotland by Hunter, Shot Scope became a trusted name in the UK with key buying groups, green grass retailers and pro shops welcoming the brand into their networks. With Shot Scope products readily available across the UK and Europe, the organization looks to establish the same trust worldwide.

As lead investor, we are thrilled to further support Shot Scope at this inflection point and to continue being a part of its exciting growth journey”.

Similarly, partnering with PGA of America’s Golf Retirement Plus program™ and TROON Golf Network has further developed Shot Scope’s presence and credibility within the US golf industry.
