You may not be surprised to hear that the Club Car has once again become the official golf car of a leading golf tournament.
I was not surprised – at all – to learn that the Club Car will be the official golf car of the 2024 Solheim Cup (Sept. 13-15 at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Northern Virginia).
In addition to the 12 custom team vehicles, 90 Club Car utility and transport vehicles will support event set-up and tournament operations.

If I were part of the organizers’ team, I would recommend utilizing IOTee similarly to the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome.
In the past, event rental fleets depended on key handling or basic keypads, where each cart was allocated its own code. If a company hires five golf carts, they are given five keys and five codes.
With IOTee, each cart was equipped with an intelligent keypad, which also includes RFID – a similar technology to your hotel room key – allowing ‘tap and go’ operation of the vehicles along with identification.
