An apparatus and method for analyzing a golf motion. The apparatus includes acquiring, by an image sensor of a camera unit, a 2D image of motion of a user, acquiring, by a depth sensor of the camera unit, a depth image to temporally alternate with acquisition of the 2D image, the depth image including depth values of pixels in the 2D image, increasing an image-capturing speed by generating a corresponding depth image or a corresponding 2D image, which corresponds to a reference 2D image or a reference depth image acquired at a predetermined time, outputting the reference 2D image and the corresponding depth image or the reference depth image and the corresponding 2D image as output data for motion analysis, extracting skeletal information of the user through analysis of output data, and displaying motion of the user on a display unit based on skeletal information.
