PGA Tour Rolls Out Revamped iPad App
/The verdict will be out on this one until it's usable during play, but the PGA Tour has added some exciting new features to its iPad app and just in an initial spin around, it looks like a big step up.
From the announcement:
Unique to this app, and setting itself apart in the golf industry, is the use of real-time predictive statistics, both for individual players and the field. These statistics, which are updated after each stroke, include average proximity to hole for approach shots, driving accuracy and distance, distance to hole and the percentage of putts made from current distance.
“We’re extremely pleased to offer this enhanced digital experience that enables golf fans to follow all the action in new and exciting ways, no matter where they are,” said Luis Goicouria, PGA TOUR Vice President of Digital Media. “We are confident this app, with its new predictive shot, full-course view features and functionalities and live video, will keep new and current fans of all ages engaged and informed, not only during a tournament but throughout the entire season.”
Fans have three choices as to how they can follow the action:
• Track their favorite player or the leader
• Follow their favorite group
• Use the “single hole” option to watch the field play through in real time, whether teeing off on the first hole, tackling the toughest hole of the tournament, or playing the final hole.
