HOUSTON – Golf Live, the market leader in live, virtual coaching, has announced that two-time Major Champion, Dustin Johnson, has become an investor in the company.
Johnson, a former No. 1 ranked player in the world, 24-time PGA Tour winner, and Captain of the 4Aces GC on LIV, joins a number of professional golfers, top ranked coaches, and others as an investor in Golf Live.
“I’m excited to invest in Golf Live as they are building out the future of golf instruction and interactive content. Golf instruction has always been important to me personally, that’s why I started the Dustin Johnson Golf School”, states Johnson.
“What impressed me most about Golf Live was the team and their long-term vision for live-streaming content in the golf space. They’re not just building an app, they’re building the future of how golf is taught, consumed, and experienced.”
Keith Scioli, CEO and Co-Founder of Golf Live added, “It is beyond exciting to have Dustin put his faith and support behind our mission. What started out as an idea to connect players and coaches virtually has grown into a complete business management and community platform.
“Dustin caught on early in our discussions that Golf Live is more than an app; it is laying the foundation for how golf is taught, how golf will be consumed in the future, and how multiple aspects around the game will be experienced. To partner with Dustin is an honor at the highest level.”
The Golf Live app is a multifaceted tool that allows students and coaches to connect in-person or virtually, in real-time, with full video capture, replay, analysis and more. All lessons are stored for review in the student’s locker. Students and coaches can text, live chat, exchange swings and tips, schedule and pay for lessons and more all inside of a single app.
Live Streams and content from top coaches and professional players are available either live or available after the fact to those registered on the free app. New features are being introduced that will expand the reach and influence of Golf Live and its users.
