PGA Tour, Intel Expand Live Virtual Reality Coverage

The PGA Tour has formed a partnership with Intel to produce live virtual reality and 360 degree video at six PGA Tour competitions in 2017 and 2018.

The live VR and 360 video will begin with the TOUR Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta from Sept. 21-24, as well as the Presidents Cup at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, N.J., from Sept. 28-Oct. 1.

Intel True VR uses panoramic, stereoscopic camera pods to provide fans with natural and realistic views of areas on the course that would otherwise be inaccessible to them otherwise.
