A hole-in-one seen in 360-degree video was the first of its kind.
If fans were tuning into the PGA Tour’s live stream on Twitter/Periscope on Thursday during the THE PLAYERS Championship, they would have seen Sergio Garcia drilling a 122-yard shot on No. 17 at TPC Sawgrass.
Fresh off winning The Masters last month, Garcia knocked in the ace on the par-3 iconic island hole. Though the PGA Tour claimed a 360-degree perspective, viewers were still met by “THE PLAYERS” branding and tournament logo as they completely rotate their cursor.
When fans watch the short clip, they’ll first see Garcia hitting his tee shot from a near camera followed by a different perspective on the green.
