CBS Sports is updating its coverage of the PGA Championship by introducing immersive replays, a putt prediction tool, and a camera-mounted rover to the major for the first time.
Highlighting the technology at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis this weekend is the 4D Replay system being installed at the 15th tee. The par-four, 495-yard hole will feature a ring of cameras around the tee box that can create a 270-degree replay (i.e. three-quarters view) of the action. Producers will be able to zoom, spin, and pan around in the midst of a golfer’s drive.
This will be the first use of 4D Replay at a golf tournament in the U.
