Watch: The deWiz Experience – Swing, Feel, Improve
January 19, 2022 - (Malmö, Sweden and Orlando, Fla.): deWiz is a new wearable tech that combines patented biofeedback technology, state-of-the-art sensors and 3D algorithms to improve golf swings like never before. deWiz doesn’t only analyze golf swings, but it utilizes cutting-edge technology to help modify a swing using neuroscience.

The newly named Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions features LPGA champions, celebrity golfers and world-class entertainment, earning its nickname the LPGA’s "Party on Tour” and kicking off the 2022 LPGA Tour season. The tournament’s unique format brings nearly 30 LPGA champions together with approximately 50 beloved celebrities, athletes and entertainers to play side-by-side for an event unlike any other. The tournament will once again be televised live, airing Thursday and Friday on Golf Channel and Saturday and Sunday on Golf Channel and NBC. For more details and updates, visit HGVLPGA.com.

Laszlo Varga, CEO of deWiz: “As we turn the page to 2022, we are honored to showcase deWiz as part of the LPGA Tour’s Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions. As golf’s newest wearable tech, we are energized to kick off 2022 alongside LPGA Tour’s season opener as our opportunity to introduce golf fans to the deWiz experience. With our Swedish roots as a company, we have long appreciated women’s golf with the success started with Liselotte Neumann, Helen Alfredsson and Annika Sörenstam. As they first introduced the world to the strength of Swedish golf, we are hoping to walk in their footsteps this week as we introduce the deWiz experience at Hilton Grand Vacations’ marquee event.”

It is both effective and a lot of fun – which fits perfectly with the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, one of the most entertaining tournaments on the LPGA Tour. I am proud that deWiz is supporting this event and women’s golf as its debut in professional golf and I’m excited to see the impact deWiz has on helping golfers of all skill levels improve their games.”
