Golf lifestyle platform Kim Caddy announced on the 10th that it was finally selected as a leading implementing organization for the '2025 Sports Tech Project' hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation.
The 'Sports Tech Project' is a support project based on the Sports Fund to promote technological innovation and product commercialization in the domestic sports industry. Companies selected for the project can receive up to 2 billion won in technology commercialization funds to accelerate technology development and market entry.
Through this project, Kim Caddy plans to develop a ‘smart unmanned golf training system combined with AI-based real-time coaching.’ This system combines IoT-based unmanned operation technology with artificial intelligence (AI) swing analysis and automatic feedback systems, and includes advanced functions such as unmanned entry and control, real-time user feedback, and customized training reports.
According to the company, the real-time feedback training solution that integrates an unmanned operation system and AI analysis technology is currently the only one in Korea, and through this technology development, they plan to raise the level of commercialization and actively promote its expansion into domestic and international golf practice infrastructure.
In particular, the solution is expected to improve the golf practice environment in local and small facilities where it is difficult to secure professional trainers, and to contribute to creating a self-training environment where anyone can train easily and efficiently. Based on its domestic indoor golf practice range network of approximately 7,000, Kim Caddy is also reviewing PoC and distribution expansion plans for entering overseas markets such as Japan and the United States.
Kim Caddy Vice President Choi Jae-rim said, “We are seeking to qualitatively innovate the golf practice environment centered on AI technology, and our goal is to build a system that allows anyone to train effectively on their own.” He added, “This project will be an important opportunity to increase not only technological competitiveness, but also the accessibility and effectiveness of sports training infrastructure.”
