Get the NEXT Recorder app

The NEXT Recorder app is required to play in the NEXT Golf Tour events.

Download the app from the App Store or Google Play.

Sign in with your Trackman profile.

When prompted, make sure to allow cellular data.

Phone setup

Position your phone behind the hitting area so that your entire body/swing and the impact screen can be seen.

Consider using a tripod or phone stand to keep the viewing angle the same during the entire round.

This is the view that will be displayed on the live leaderboard.

If there are multiple players in the same bay, one phone running the NEXT Recorder app is sufficient.

Best practices

We recommend using a stable WiFi connection while playing so the app can upload your footage quickly.

Enable “Do not disturb” mode on your device so calls or notifications don’t disturb the recording process.

Use a power cable while recording to prevent battery drain/shutdown.

Play your round

Log in to any Trackman simulator with your Trackman account.

Open the NEXT Recorder app and scan the QR code to connect the camera. When you see the “Device connected” message on-screen, you’re ready to go.
Do not “background” the app after connecting.

You must complete your round in one uninterrupted session.

Get your footage

Log in to the player portal. Select Tournaments, then select a round.

Select your name on the leaderboard to open your scorecard, then select a hole to view your shots.

Tap the save icon in the bottom-right corner of the video player to download each shot.

Share your highlights

Post your favorite (or least-favorite) shots on your social channels, and be sure to tag @NEXTGolfTour and #NEXTGolfTour.

You can also send us a DM on Instagram with your video. Add a short description, including the hole number. You might see yourself in an upcoming highlight reel!
