GPS Watch vs Laser Rangefinder: What Tour Caddies Actually Use

GolferGearShop Editorial · 4 min read

The honest answer is both — but here is how to choose if you only buy one this season.

A laser gives you precision to the pin, which matters inside 175 yards. A GPS watch gives you carry distances to hazards, layup numbers and front/middle/back without breaking rhythm. If you play unfamiliar courses, start with GPS. If you play the same track weekly and want exact pin numbers, buy the laser.
