Whether you’re a beginner or a low single-figure player, there’s always room for improvement, especially when it comes to course management.

Sharpen up your decision-making and you’ll shoot lower scores. Simple... at least if you use a distance-measuring device.

That the world’s best players rely on these proves just how important they are. A recent survey showed that 98.6% of PGA Tour players trust a Bushnell device.

The brand’s comprehensive range – which includes laser rangefinders, GPS units, and audio-enabled devices – are all engineered for precision, innovation and performance, and, in 2025, the manufacturer is pushing the boundaries even further with the launch of the Tour Hybrid.

Revolutionary design

This groundbreaking device combines pinpoint laser precision with built-in GPS mapping that projects front, middle and back yardages directly into a single viewfinder display.

Often golfers have to choose between a GPS or a laser, and may end up buying both. Not any more. Whether you’re plotting a lay-up or looking to attack a pin, you’re given all the tools to make confident decisions.

Meanwhile, Bushnell’s Slope algorithm factors in ball trajectory, not just elevation. Slope-adjusted distances, both for laser and GPS distances, is a key feature.

PinSeeker with Visual JOLT feedback is another key attribute. It’s infuriating to hit a ‘perfect’ shot only to realise that you’ve inadvertently zapped the wrong object.

The Tour Hybrid provides tactile feedback thanks to a vibration (jolt) that eliminates any doubt, while a pulsing red circle shows to confirm the target has been locked in.

Bushnell's tour-trusted range

Bushnell’s intuitive designs are a hallmark of each device in the range, which has been bolstered with the elite Pro X3+.

This is a laser that boasts a wind speed and direction feature, making it the brand’s most precise rangefinder to date.

The A1-Slope, meanwhile, might be Bushnell’s smallest ever rangefinder, but with the brand’s same tour-trusted Slope Technology and many of the same features, it’s another premium product.

Elsewhere, the new Phantom 3 Slope, perfect for those who want a front, middle and back yardage, is small and easy-to-use. It features Greenview and moveable pin placement, which seriously enhances its usability compared to its predecessor.

Whether you’re competing for a club title or simply striving to beat your best score, there’s a Bushnell device that can help elevate your game.
