iWanamaker and Clippd Announce Strategic Partnership to Transform Junior Golf Ecosystem

iWanamaker, the leading live scoring platform in high school golf, and Clippd, the leading performance platform in college golf and operator of Scoreboard, the official scoring and rankings platform for college golf, are proud to announce a strategic partnership that unites their respective market strengths to transform the junior golf ecosystem.

This collaboration leverages both companies' extensive reach and advanced technologies to explore the creation of a new and powerful integrated data layer that supports the development of high school golfers who aspire to compete at the collegiate level. 

By deploying smart data science and intuitive applications, iWanamaker and Clippd will work together to add value to coaches, players and families while enhancing the journey from high school to college golf.

From powerful, actionable insights for college coaches, enabling them to more efficiently evaluate and recruit qualified players based on comprehensive performance data, to enabling junior golfers to more accurately track their progress, showcase their abilities, and better prepare for the next stage in their athletic careers, the aims of this partnership are to create a stronger, more connected pathway from high school to college golf.

"This strategic partnership exemplifies how Clippd’s advanced data capabilities, combined with iWanamaker’s leading position in high school golf, can deliver meaningful value to junior players and coaches alike," said Jonathan Halpern, MD of Clippd USA. "Together, we're building a smarter, more connected future for junior golf."

"This collaboration is essential to our mission of connecting high school and college golf through comprehensive data and performance insights," said Wanamaker Corporation CEO Doyle Heisler. "As the leader in live scoring for high school golf, with 76% of high school golfers utilizing our platform, this partnership will empower coaches and players. 

“College coaches will gain unprecedented access to the most accurate and comprehensive data of future collegiate players, while high school golfers will have access to the same advanced performance analytics trusted by national champions. Together, we will be leveraging millions of golfer-entered scores to create meaningful insights that benefit the entire junior and college golf ecosystems."

Clippd’s performance analytics will be made available at a discount to the 160,000 players using iWanamaker. This offer gives the next generation of college players the opportunity to utilize the same performance tracking and individualized practice plans trusted by 2025 NCAA DI National Champions, the Oklahoma State Cowboys, and DI Individual Women’s Champion, Maria Jose Marin of the Arkansas Razorbacks.

More than 200 leading college programs currently use Clippd, which has helped teams and individuals to hundreds of tournament wins over the past three seasons, including nine team and individual National Championships. Now, the most ambitious high school golf programs will have the opportunity to use the Clippd platform to improve performance, make practice more productive, and deliver success.
