Story Highlights
The PGA TOUR's Live Drone AR was awarded The George Wensel Technical Achievement Award last night at the 46th Annual Sports Emmy Awards ceremony. A TOUR owned patent-pending technology, Drone AR was developed through a collaborative effort between six partners-the PGA TOUR, Bolt6, CBS Sports, NBC Sports, Virtual Eye, and Kaze Aerial Production-that came together in early 2024 with a shared vision to successfully track ball-in-motion data from a live moving drone on the PGA TOUR.
Highlighting the skill of TOUR players and the challenge of iconic golf courses, the cutting-edge innovation allows fans to watch towering drives like never before, as the augmented reality experience combines live aerial video with real-time analytics.
L to R: Sellers Shy of CBS; Alex Turnbull of the PGA TOUR; Jon Freedman of the PGA TOUR, and Tommy Roy of NBC.
