Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects of game-based learning on tactical awareness and skill development in golf training programs. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 45 male athletes aged 18–30, divided into three groups: Tactical Awareness Training Group (TATG), Skill-Based Training Group (SBTG), and an Active Control Group (ACG). The intervention lasted eight weeks. Tactical awareness was assessed using a modified Tactical Skills Inventory for Sport (TACSIS) includes Knowing About Ball Actions (KABA), Acting in Changing Situations (ACS) and Positioning and Deciding (PD); while technical performance metrics, including Drive Distance (DD), Putting Accuracy (PA), and Swing Consistency (SC), were measured using validated tools. Pre- and post-intervention results were analyzed for within-group and between-group differences. Results: Within-group improvements were significant for TATG in all tactical subscales: KABA (Δ = 15.6%, p
