This strategic position enhances the company’s brand equity, enhances its long-term valuation, and provides direct access to revenue from proprietary technology and brand development.

“Ensure ownership of our intellectual property is a fundamental moment for Payntr Golf,” said Mike Forsey, co-founder and president of Payntr Golf. “Owning our brand directly allows us to protect our construction, fully control our innovations, and accelerate our long-term growth with confidence. It’s not just about maintaining what we create, it’s about unlocking what’s next.”
