IQ Match™ is Elevate Golf’s matching intelligence - a weighted algorithm
designed to compare Player and Coach onboarding inputs to generate an
accountable Match %™ score. This is not a basic comparison of likes and
dislikes; it analyses thousands of potential combinations to help Players find
the right Coach via the
Coach Gallery,
addressing one of the biggest barriers to golf lessons: choosing someone who
truly fits. It also helps Coaches attract the Players they want to work with,
allowing them to focus on the areas they most enjoy teaching.
Instead of scrolling through endless profiles or guessing who might suit
them, Players can see their Match %™ with every Coach to make quick, confident
decisions and then
Get a Tip.
The system considers factors such as age, body shape, height, handicap,
focus areas, learning preferences, tone, and preferred Tip format. While it
does not replace choice, it makes the process accountable and easier. Players
can still browse freely and select any Coach (see
Coach
Gallery), but IQ Match™ offers a clear, data-backed starting point.
For Coaches, IQ Match™ introduces them to Players who value their expertise
and connect with their coaching style, leading to better outcomes and stronger
reviews. For Players, it removes uncertainty and speeds up progress. In both
cases, IQ Match™ makes Elevate Golf more efficient, fair, and rewarding (see
Independence & Fairness).
