The broadcast of golf has become a hassle for fans watching on the internet. Furthermore, the PGA Tour’s calendar opener received a lot of hate for its lackluster coverage. It looks like the rival league is trying its best not to make the same mistakes. LIV Golf partnered with Google Cloud and PMY to launch a new feature called ‘Any Shot, Any Time’.

This groundbreaking feature will allow fans to watch every shot from every player via the LIV Golf app. This feature became a reality thanks to Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform. Furthermore, PMY has helped in infrastructure, fan experience, and data intelligence.

This feature is comparable to the Masters app and website, which allow fans to watch every shot of players competing on the greens. However, the only drawback of this app was the delay in watching.
