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).
