Molinari will become an investor in Arccos and his StatisticGolf service will be renamed Arccos Pro Insights as he continues working with top-ranked players worldwide.

Molinari will also leverage the Arccos system—which was recently approved for use on the PGA TOUR—to seamlessly capture his personal shot data during competitions and practice rounds. He will showcase the Arccos logo on his apparel, promoting the company’s mission to empower golfers at every level with data-driven insights.

Molinari said:

“I’m very impressed with the Arccos game tracking system as it is delivering tremendous benefits to so many players around the world. It’s the perfect complement to the platform I’ve built for the game’s most elite pros. Joining forces with Sal Syed and his team of amazing data scientists, analysts, engineers and designers, will make an immediate impact. I know we’re poised to pioneer groundbreaking advancements in analytics, helping every golfer become smarter about practice, preparation, and on-course decision-making.”

Recently named European Ryder Cup Team Vice Captain for the second time, Molinari has frequently been called a “stats genius” by tour stars and golf media. As a player, Molinari won the 2005 U.S. Amateur Championship, claimed three DP World Tour titles, was on the winning 2010 Ryder Cup team and reached No. 14 on the Official World Golf Ranking.

A graduate of a five-year engineering program at the Polytechnic University of Turin, the 42-year-old Italian began recording and analyzing his own stats in 2003. During golf’s COVID-19 hiatus, Molinari conceived and launched StatisticGolf, which quickly became the most used and trusted analytics platform on professional tours. In 3 years, his clients have captured 27 worldwide wins including: US Open, Ryder Cup, FedExCup and DP World Tour Championship.

“The sophistication of what Edoardo has built surpasses anything that I’ve seen in the field of golf analytics,” said Sal Syed, Arccos CEO & Co-Founder. “Edoardo is not only brilliant with data, he has the perspective that comes from being one of the world’s best players. That combination is totally unique and a big reason why major champions and Ryder Cup winners give so much credit to his work. By pairing Edoardo’s approach with what we’ve built at Arccos, we’ll redefine analytics, to perfectly address the needs of pro golfers, as well as elite amateurs, junior golfers and recreational players.”

Per Arccos’ website, the Pro Insights is not an open invitation program but, instead, something that must be applied for.

While it is inevitable that Edoardo’s unique analysis will trickle into the Arccos Caddie platform available to the masses, it appears that Pro Insights is something that will offer a more intimate, one-on-one experience for some of golf’s sharpest stars.

Indeed, Edoardo will now have access to an infinitely larger amount of data, as Arccos has built the game’s largest on-course dataset. Today that includes almost 900 million shots and over 1.5 trillion data points recorded during 18 million rounds by Arccos members.
