From elite professionals to avid golfers looking to improve their game, deWiz is a high-tech swing analyzer designed to help all types of golfers modify their swing.
Laszlo Varga, CEO of deWiz Golf: ”As a Swedish-based company, it is with great pride that we support the pinnacle of professional golf in Sweden, the Volvo Cars Scandinavian Mixed. deWiz’s wearable tech is fueling innovation to help golfers better understand their swing aby helping them hit the ball longer, straighter and closer.

This relationship also extends to our ambassadors and tournament hosts Annika Sörenstam and Henrik Stenson, who both use deWiz as a competitive edge to further refine their golf swings.”
