Abstract

The emerging technologies from the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have been deployed in many industries such as various online services, construction, car, and cybersecurity. Such technologies are advantageous because they can process and react to their environment or inputs in a way similar to human intelligence, giving them the capability to complete tasks that otherwise only humans can complete. Most traditionally defined sports including golf have incorporated the use of computer technologies over the past decades. However, the applications of AI technologies in golf and sports, in general, have been very limited. This paper explores the current applications, research, future research directions, and possibilities of AI specifically in golf by examining and summarizing recent studies on this topic. It was found that existing applications of AI technologies are extremely limited, are neither widely used nor endorsed and offer no definite advantage. Currently, research into applying AI technologies in golf is in its early stages, are largely independent of each other, and only focuses on a small task or a very specific aspect, for instance, swing discrepancy detection. The resulting models from these studies often only produced numerical results which demonstrate their sufficiency in their specific task, however, cannot be interpreted in useful ways. Their proficiencies in completing their designated tasks, however, demonstrate potential for a strong AI specialized in golf that essentially plays the role of or even surpasses coaches. Nevertheless, extensive research and the development of large sets of labelled.
