Players Championship to stream every shot of every player

The PGA Tour is expanding its live video coverage of The Players Championship as far as it can go — every shot by every player in every round.

In a first for golf, and most likely the first step toward video access to every player at every tournament, The Players Championship will offer live streaming of all 144 players in the field.

Coverage will be available to “PGA Tour Live” subscribers on NBC Sports Gold or Amazon’s Prime Video channels.

Rick Anderson, the tour’s chief media officer, says the ultimate goal is bring every shot struck at golf tournaments live and on-demand to the fans.

He says the production of having every shot available on live streaming will require about 120 cameras.
