Behind-The-Scenes of Golf Broadcast

Introducing Data Evolution presented by Fortinet, a brand-new series focusing on the crucial role technology, data and connectivity play in different aspects of delivering a DP World Tour tournament. The second episode of the series tells the story of how the DP World Tour is improving its on-screen television broadcast and on-site fan experience, with the help of ARL/Virtual Eye.

ARL, through their golf broadcast company Virtual Eye, provide broadcast graphics solutions for the DP World Tour’s international World Feed Broadcast. This includes the visualisation of on-site data, collected in real time, presented on a virtual representation of each golf course in the schedule.

We spent time with Head of Golf at ARL, Eliott Smith, and Executive Producer at European Tour Productions Russell Dawson to see how the creation of a data-rich ‘virtual world’ has enhanced our broadcast output.

Chief Technology Officer Michael Cole also joined the episode to discuss the integration, evolution and increased use of data at the Tour to enhance the experience of fans on-site – and the benefits of the operation from a sustainability perspective.
