Garmin unveils two new additions to their golf ecosystem – Approach G20 Solar and Approach CT1

Introducing Approach G20 Solar, the first-of-its-kind GPS golf handheld that offers distances to the green on a high-contrast screen and a solar-powered battery, allowing you to play round after round without charging and the Approach CT1 club tracking tags

Singapore, 5 March 2025 – Garmin Singapore today announced new additions to the popular Approach golf ecosystem - the Approach G20 Solar, the first solar-powered GPS golf handheld that provides unlimited battery life when used in sunny conditions¹ and Approach CT1 club tracking tags.

While on the course, golfers can see yardage to the front, middle and back of the green and plan their approach using the 2.2-inch high-contrast screen. And thanks to the big, easy-to-read numbers, players of all ages can read distances during play – even on bright, sunny days.

“We’re excited to introduce the Approach G20 Solar, our first GPS golf handheld with an innovative solar-powered display that gives golfers the ability to play longer than ever before. Packed with popular on-course features to help guide your approach and an easy-to-read screen, it’s the perfect companion for golfers of all skill levels.” – Mr. Scoppen Lin, Assistant General Manager, Garmin Asia.

Approach G20 Solar

Boundless battery life with solar charging capabilities

Play day after day, round after round without needing to recharge the Approach G20 Solar. The solar-powered display makes it easy to stay on the course for an extra 18 holes or even stash it in a golf bag after the round without worrying about recharging before the next tee time. Even when playing in sub-optimal conditions, players can expect to use it for up to 36 rounds without solar charging.

Par for the course

The Approach G20 Solar gives golfers plenty of on-course features to help elevate their game.

• Sunlight-readable display: View yardage to the front, middle and back of the green as well as hazards and doglegs on the bright, sunlight-readable 2.2-inch display.
• Larger text: Enhance the size of the measurements on the screen to read distances even more easily.
• Preloaded courses: Choose from more than 43,000 preloaded courses worldwide and receive course updates wirelessly when paired with a compatible smartphone.
• Green view: See the shape of the green with manual pin placements.
• Automatic shot tracking: Pair with Approach CT10 club tracking tags² for shot-tracking and a clearer picture of the current round.
• Live benefits: Sync with the Garmin Golf smartphone app to see wind speed and direction and keep score on the device.

Compact and convenient to carry, the Approach G20 Solar can be mounted on a golf cart with the built-in magnet or to a belt with the included clip. If it’s accidently left behind, golfers can use the Find My Garmin option to see the last known location of the device through the Garmin Golf app. And with an IPX7 water rating, it’s designed with all types of golf weather in mind, from light to steady rain, to wind and sunlight.

Approach CT1

Enhanced game tracking with Approach CT1 club tracking tags

Record every stroke on the recently launched Approach S50 smartwatch with the all-new Approach CT1 tracking tags⁵. Lightweight and secure, the tags attach to the end of a club’s grip and collect data from each club in the bag – from driver to putter – recording shot locations, distances and club type. Before each shot, players just tap the tag to their watch to record stats on their wrist.

While on the course, golfers can use the Approach CT1 tags to see how far they typically hit each club and view stats for accuracy to the fairway or green. After a round, players can use the Garmin Golf app to see strokes gained analysis for each part of their game and follow trends to know where improvement is needed.

Available now at Garmin Brand Stores, Lazada, Shopee, Garmin Online Store, Takashimaya and selected authorized retailers, the Approach G20 Solar GPS handheld has a suggested retail price of SGD 459 and the Approach CT1 has a suggested retail price of SGD 149 for a pack of 16 tags.
