Mate Mobility’s SINGLE Golf EV Enhances Mobility, Efficiency, and Responsiveness for Tournament Officials


At LIV Golf Korea 2026, held at Asiad Country Club in Busan, Mate Mobility’s SINGLE Golf EV is helping redefine how major golf tournaments are managed on the course.

Throughout the event, tournament officials and rules referees have utilized SINGLE to improve on-course responsiveness, operational efficiency, and overall pace management compared to traditional multi-passenger cart operations.


As Korea’s only single-rider Golf EV capable of fairway access, SINGLE enables officials to travel directly to player locations and active situations on the course. Unlike conventional golf carts, which are generally restricted to cart paths and often require additional walking time, SINGLE allows immediate access to the area where action is taking place, significantly improving response times and decision-making efficiency.


Faster Access, Better Tournament Control

Tournament officials have reported that SINGLE plays a critical role across multiple operational functions, including:

  • Rules enforcement and rulings

  • Pace-of-play management

  • Player spacing and flow control

  • On-course incident response

  • Event logistics and coordination


For international tournaments covering large course areas, reducing travel time is essential. SINGLE allows officials to spend less time moving between locations and more time focusing on tournament operations, resulting in greater productivity and improved oversight throughout the event.

The platform has also helped reduce unnecessary travel routes and waiting time, creating a more agile and efficient operational rhythm across the entire course.


Supporting the Demands of Modern Professional Golf

A LIV Golf Korea operations representative commented:

“Maintaining the flow of play is critical in international tournaments. SINGLE has become more than a transportation vehicle—it enhances operational responsiveness and improves our ability to manage situations efficiently on the course.”

SINGLE is powered by Mate Mobility’s advanced RTK-based Geo-Fencing technology, which automatically manages access to restricted areas and sensitive course zones while maintaining safety and operational control.

This technology allows organizers to balance mobility and course protection, ensuring efficient movement without compromising course conditions.


Built for Professional Tournament Environments

Designed specifically for golf course operations, SINGLE features:

  • High-precision RTK positioning technology

  • Advanced Geo-Fencing safety controls

  • Independent suspension for stable off-path driving

  • OTA (Over-the-Air) software update capability

  • Centralized fleet management and monitoring systems

These capabilities make SINGLE particularly well-suited for professional tournament environments where reliability, precision, and operational efficiency are essential.


Expanding Beyond Referee Operations

During LIV Golf Korea 2026, SINGLE is being utilized not only by rules officials but also by event operations teams and support staff responsible for managing logistics and movement throughout the venue.

By improving mobility across multiple operational departments, SINGLE is helping create a more efficient, player-focused tournament environment while demonstrating how next-generation Golf EV platforms can transform golf event management.


Driving the Future of Golf Operations

A Mate Mobility spokesperson stated:

“It is meaningful to see SINGLE demonstrating new possibilities for tournament operations on one of golf’s global stages. Our vision extends beyond building a golf cart—we are developing a Golf EV platform capable of transforming how golf courses operate and how players experience the game.”

Building on its experience as an official operations vehicle for the KPGA Tour and other major professional events, Mate Mobility plans to continue expanding into golf course and tournament markets both domestically and internationally.

As professional golf increasingly prioritizes efficiency, mobility, and technology-driven operations, SINGLE is emerging as a compelling solution for the next generation of tournament management.
