UCO PGM Program Brings AI-Powered Swing Analysis into the Classroom
Oct. 10, 2025
The University of Central Oklahoma PGA Professional Golf Management (PGM) program collaborated with IdeasLab to provide students with access to XView AI Pro, a state-of-the-art golf swing analysis tool that leverages computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) to simultaneously track movement of the body, golf shaft and club to provide a comprehensive, full-swing analysis with no sensors or wearables required.
With this new technology, UCO PGM students will gain hands-on experience that blends innovation with real-world application, preparing them to help shape the future of sports education and performance. This collaboration supports the UCO College of Business in its mission to provide impactful and transformative learning opportunities.
UCO is one of only three PGA-accredited institutions nationwide to integrate this technology into its curriculum formally.
"Partnering with such respected programs at esteemed universities signals another step forward in our mission to make elite-level swing analysis available to every golfer and build disruptive applications around sports, fitness and human motion," said Winston Yang, founder and CEO of IdeasLab.
"We're especially excited to learn from the feedback of tomorrow's golf instructors. These are the athletes who will be helping shape the game's future with us."
IdeasLab, developer of XView AI Pro, is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge AI technologies around sports, fitness and human motion.
Central’s PGA-accredited program is one of only 16 in the country and the only PGA PGM program in Oklahoma. Through classroom instruction, internships at golf courses and cutting-edge applications and technology in the program’s specifically-designed learning and teaching facility—the Golf Research and Instruction Performance (GRIP) Lab—the PGA PGM program offers extensive player development opportunities for aspiring PGA of America members.
