TruGolf CEO Expects Significant Sales Growth in 2026
"2025 was a transitional year for TruGolf, where we addressed capital market issues, revamped our accounting systems and procedures and made major investments in new products to position the company for significant growth in the years ahead." Said Chris Jones, CEO and Director of TruGolf. "We have overcome many challenges in the past year and we appreciate our shareholder's patience as we strengthened our capital structure, increased liquidity and expanded our product lineup to create the broadest suite of offerings in simulated golf. 2025's results, while understandable, are not in line with the potential we see for our company. Our 2026 outlook is a better reflection of what we think TruGolf can deliver when operating on all cylinders. We expect our first flagship franchise location for TruGolf Links to open in Cherry Hill New Jersey in the second quarter and we have introduced D3 wagering software into our product lineup. We have also seen increased market interest in our recently introduced TruGolf RANGE product and believe this will translate into significantly higher sales in 2026."
