Golf fans watching the RBC Canadian Open will notice something new about the shot tracing technology.

The PGA Tour unveiled its new “smart trace,” which will change color after a shot based on whether the ball lands in the fairway or the green.

Josh Carpenter, a reporter for Sports Business Journal, tweeted about the new change and shared the PGA Tour video that shows it shifting colors.
