SGL System, a global leader in professional turf technology, has announced the launch of SGL Golf, a specialized division and technology ecosystem dedicated to the unique demands of the golf industry. The SGL Golf ecosystem transforms natural turf into an intelligent, self-optimizing system that delivers championship-level surfaces without compromising sustainability or budgets.

Why it matters

The launch of SGL Golf reflects the growing demand for autonomous and data-driven solutions in the golf industry, as courses face labor shortages, rising chemical costs, and increasing pressure to maintain consistent playing conditions year-round. SGL's technology aims to address these challenges by providing a comprehensive platform for precision turf management.

The details

At the core of the SGL Golf ecosystem is an integrated hardware and intelligence layer, including the GreenGuard Golf robot that uses UVC light for chemical-free disease control and the AirGuard aerial monitoring system that captures high-resolution imagery to identify course conditions. All of this data is centralized in the TurfBase Golf platform, which applies predictive agronomic models to deliver a continuously updated management plan tailored to each surface and condition.

• SGL System has been a global leader in turf growth technologies for over 25 years.
• SGL Golf was launched in February 2026 to bring the company's expertise to the golf industry.
