Sony Open In 3D, To 83 Million Homes!?

Some of you considering a new HDTV with 3D capabilities will be glad to know you can see the Sony Open in a stand alone 3D telecast this year, though I found one Sony claim a bit dubious.

The upcoming tournament will be the first PGA Tour co-sponsored event televised live in 3-D, said company and tour officials who have been testing the technology at several events this year. The Masters was aired in 3-D.

"We have seen what high-definition does for golf telecasts, and 3-D is the logical next step to enhancing our broadcasts and providing fans with the ultimate viewing experience, particularly in such a beautiful setting as Hawaii," PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement.

Sony estimated 83 million households in the U.S. have 3-D-compatible TV sets.

Really?

Anyone who has 3D interested in commenting on their experience with it, particularly for golf telecasts?
