LIV Golf signs "game-changing" new tech partnership with Google
LIV Golf confirms new 'any shot any time' feature in partnership with Google for 2024 season.
LIV Golf has today confirmed a new tech partnership with Google that will allow golf fans to watch any group or player live throughout a tournament round.
The news was revealed just 24 hours before the start of LIV Golf's first tournament of 2024 at Mayakoba in Mexico.
LIV's new 'any shot, any time' feature in partnership with Google is expected to roll out in full at some stage this summer.
The update from LIV Golf means golf fans will soon have the option of watching all of their latest action via a multitude of platforms including Google, YouTube, The CW Network and App and LIV Golf+.
Here's LIV Golf's latest press release in full, which was sent to GolfMagic this afternoon:
As one of the first projects under the partnership, LIV Golf will begin unveiling a series of advancements in fan engagement, real-time data and statistics streaming, course and event mapping, and customizable experiences for fans and broadcast viewers. Leveraging PMY’s expertise in transforming infrastructure, fan experience, and data intelligence, and Google Cloud’s innovative generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the partnership will help elevate the fan experience on and off the golf course, and deliver personalized engagement unique to the sport.
Built upon Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, LIV’s new “Any Shot, Any Time” feature—launching in summer 2024 on LIV Golf Plus—will create a highly innovative live broadcast experience. Fans will be able to select exactly which golfers, teams, or groups they want to watch at any given time, as well as searchable and customizable on-demand highlight reels from any round of any LIV tournament.
