TNT Sports Ends Innovative February With 9th Edition of Capital One's The Match
21m
For another round of Capital One's The Match at The Park West Palm, the ninth edition since debuting in 2018, TNT Sports' presentation of this unique exhibition golf event did not disappoint the viewers at home. Tapping a drone for aerial views, a hefty slate of wireless and handheld cameras for on-course shots, and realtime player-to-commentator conversations, this broadcast continues to push the envelope on what's possible for live golf coverage. Last night's contest, which was won by Rory McIlroy, completed a busy month of February that also included NBA All-Star in Indianapolis.
In this edition of SVG Rewind, TNT Sports' VP, Technology and Operations, Chris Brown, breaks down how the network captures nighttime golf, how the nature of this event allows for more player interaction through live mics and the experimentation of technology, how tech enhancements within the network's other broadcasts can influence their work on The Match, and how they got through this busy month.
