Golfers have never had more technology at their fingertips, but the real challenge has always been finding gear that elevates performance without overwhelming the player. Blue Tees Golf—the brand that has built its reputation on modern design, accessible pricing, and a willingness to rethink traditional golf tech—has stepped forward once again with a bold answer. The newly announced Captain Rangefinder Series, featuring the Captain Air and Captain Pro, marks a significant leap toward connected, data‑driven golf without sacrificing the simplicity players rely on.
Unveiled to industry insiders at the 2026 PGA Show, the Captain lineup signals a new era for the company. Blue Tees isn’t just releasing upgraded optics or a sleeker body; it’s introducing a fully integrated approach to course management, powered by the expanding Blue Tees GAME app ecosystem. For golfers who want more than yardages—who want control, insight, and confidence—the Captain Series aims to become the new standard.
This is not just another product launch. It’s a statement about where golf technology is headed and who it’s designed for.
Captain Rangefinder: A New Vision for Connected Golf Performance
Blue Tees Golf has always positioned itself as a challenger brand—one that pushes against the idea that premium golf tech must come with a premium price tag. With the Captain Series, the company is doubling down on that philosophy.
The Captain Air and Captain Pro were engineered for golfers who want to make smarter decisions on the course, using real-time data and seamless connectivity. Both models integrate with the GAME™ app, which provides GPS distances for more than 42,000 courses, shot tracking, and post‑round analytics. This is where the Captain Series stands apart: the rangefinder is no longer a standalone tool. It’s part of a larger ecosystem designed to help golfers understand their tendencies, refine their strategy, and ultimately score better.
As Brandon Francisco, Chief Innovation Officer and Co‑Founder of Blue Tees Golf, put it, “Captain Air and Captain Pro are the first step in a new era of smarter, more intuitive golf tech.” That’s not marketing fluff—it’s a clear signal that the company is building toward a future where rangefinders, GPS, and analytics work together rather than in isolation.
Captain Air: The Connected Essential for Everyday Golfers
The Captain Air is built for golfers who want to step into connected golf technology without overspending. It’s based on the proven S4 platform, but the upgrades are substantial enough to make it feel like a fresh generation.
The standout feature is its Bluetooth integration, which allows the rangefinder to sync with the GAME app. This means golfers get the best of both worlds: laser precision paired with GPS course intelligence. For players who have relied solely on laser yardages, this is a meaningful upgrade—especially on unfamiliar courses or layouts with blind landing areas.
The Captain Air also introduces a “Find My Rangefinder” recovery mode, a feature that will save countless golfers from the frustration of leaving their device on a cart seat or tee box. Add in a high‑contrast LED display, 6X magnification, a 1000‑yard range, and pulse‑vibration flag-locking, and the Air becomes a compelling option for golfers who want reliability and clarity without unnecessary complexity.
Its IP65 dust and waterproof rating and magnetic cart strip round out a design that feels durable, modern, and ready for real‑world conditions. For many golfers, the Captain Air will hit the sweet spot: advanced enough to elevate their game, simple enough to use without thinking, and priced to make connected tech accessible.
Captain Pro: A Tour‑Level Experience for the Competitive Golfer
If the Captain Air is the gateway, the Captain Pro is the flagship. This model is built for golfers who want complete command of their game—players who analyze their rounds, track their tendencies, and make decisions with intention.
The Captain Pro’s 7X OLED display is one of its most striking upgrades. OLED clarity makes a noticeable difference in bright sun, low light, and everything in between. The optics feel premium, crisp, and confidence‑inspiring.
But the real innovation lies in its deeper integration with the GAME ecosystem. The Captain Pro doesn’t just provide yardages; it becomes a tool for shot tracking, GPS mapping, and post‑round analytics. For golfers who want to understand dispersion patterns, club tendencies, and scoring trends, this level of connectivity is invaluable.
The customizable LED Action Button is another thoughtful addition. Whether golfers want to toggle slope mode, drop an ActiveTrack pin, or assign another function, the button adapts to their style of play. It’s a small detail that makes the device feel personal and intuitive.
With a 1200‑yard range, +/- 1‑yard accuracy, IP67 weatherproofing, and a rechargeable USB‑C battery, the Captain Pro is built for performance and longevity. It’s the kind of rangefinder that feels like a competitive advantage—because in many ways, it is.
Pricing, Availability, and What It Means for Golfers
Blue Tees Golf continues to position itself as a value‑driven disruptor. The Captain Air launches at $249, while the Captain Pro comes in at $299—pricing that undercuts many premium competitors while offering a broader feature set.
Presales begin March 1, 2026, with shipping starting March 17 and retail rollout beginning March 22 at major national retailers. For golfers who have been waiting for a reason to upgrade—or who want to step into connected golf tech for the first time—the timing couldn’t be better.
A Smarter Future for the Everyday Golfer
The Captain Rangefinder Series represents more than a product refresh. It’s a shift toward a more connected, intelligent, and player‑centric approach to golf technology. Blue Tees Golf is betting that the future of the game lies in tools that help golfers understand themselves, not just the yardage to the pin.
For golfers who want to play faster, think smarter, and score better, the Captain Air and Captain Pro offer a compelling new path forward. They’re not just rangefinders. They’re game‑management tools built for the modern golfer.
