For the fifth season in a row, Legends Tour competitors using GPS devices by SkyCaddie have dominated leaderboards with victories and winnings galore.
As 2025 drew to a close, Englishman Greg Owen used his SkyCaddie SX550 GPS constantly on his way to lifting his first-ever Legends Tour trophy in the season-ending MCB Mauritius Legends tournament at Constance Belle Mare Plage earlier this month.
“The SkyCaddie is brilliant,” said 53-year-old Owen after his win in Mauritius. “I had a local caddie and we didn’t speak each other’s language so I relied on the SkyCaddie a lot, on my way to winning. There were many blind shots out there, but of course the SkyCaddie doesn’t need line of sight.”
Owen, a veteran of hundreds of European Tour and PGA Tour events since 1998, continued: “Nothing gives you more help than a SkyCaddie when you are plotting your way around a golf course. Layups are simple, it does the maths for you, and you can drag the cursor to get an exact yardage to a landing zone on a green, if it’s too risky to shoot right at the pin.
“A SkyCaddie beats a laser every time on dog leg holes where there’s no clear line of sight. Off the tee I use it to check if I can carry bunkers, and it also gives you fairway runout distances, which are impossible to get with a laser. The double-tap feature to see all bunker yardages is great as well.”
At the climax of Owen’s victorious final round he secured a birdie on the final hole to edge out Jeev Milka Singh and Darren Fichardt by a single shot. The win earned him a top-five finish in the final Order of Merit, making Owen eligible to play the full 2026 Legends Tour season, including all three Senior Majors and the co-sanctioned PGA Champions Tour event in Portugal.
“For golfers who need to score well, the SkyCaddie is ideal,” said Owen. “It just makes life easier! I’ve used it for several seasons on Tour now and because they map golf courses very accurately, on foot, I know I can trust the numbers it gives me.”
On the Legends Tour competitors are allowed to use DMDs (Distance Measurement Devices) in most events, with only the annual senior Majors being non-DMD tournaments. Seventy per cent of eligible events have been won by SkyCaddie users since the brand became the Tour’s Official Distance Measurement Device in 2023.
Two years earlier, in 2021, SkyCaddie first started supporting Legends Tour players. In some events since then as many as 80% of competitors in the field have been SkyCaddie users.
And as SkyCaddie’s footprint on Tour grew ever larger, in 2024 Thomas Gögele’s Senior Italian Open win was the 14thsuccessive victory on the Legends Tour for golfers using SkyCaddie GPS for their yardages.
“The message coming from Tour players is loud and clear,” said SkyCaddie’s Alex Kotlarzewski. “If you want to compete in a golf tournament, whether it’s the midweek Stableford, the Club Championship or a top-level European tour event, get yourself a SkyCaddie.
“No other GPS comes even close to what a SkyCaddie gives you, and as for laser, good luck next time you’re behind some trees, or playing uphill to a well-guarded green. A lack of ‘line of sight’ is the laser user’s worst nightmare, but SkyCaddie users don’t even pause for thought. Only a SkyCaddie can give you complete confidence for distances to virtually every blade of grass on the golf course. Why? Because we’ve already walked the course, so you don’t have to!”
Kotlarzewski finished: “For over 25 years we have been the caddie in the sky whose numbers you can trust on the golf course, and we are proud to set the benchmark for quality in the DMD category.”
