Turner Sports is introducing new technology and predictive data integrations for its pay-per-view coverage of the Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson $9 million match play competition on Friday, Nov. 23 at Las Vegas’ Shadow Creek Golf Course.
An algorithm incorporating ShotLink Intelligence and Shadow Creek’s terrain will forecast the probability of every shot’s outcome. At the conclusion of each hole, the MGM GVC Interactive Gaming joint venture will update new odds, money lines, and other betting information. Woods and Mickelson have been encouraged to make side challenges as they play the MGM Resorts-owned course.
The broadcast will feature drones shooting novel camera angles for live golf.
