Virtual Eye News

Tournaments on the PGA Tour and the PGA European Tour kept our remote Golf Operations teams busy during March, beginning with the Arnold Palmer Invitational at the Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Florida, followed by The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. Our teams then supported the Valspar Championship at Copperhead Course, before turning our attentions to concurrent events the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play on the PGA Tour and the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters on the European Tour, which saw out the month.

April began with our teams supplying graphics and balltracking to coverage of the Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio, followed by support of the US Masters at Augusta National. Next up was the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links, then The Zurich Classic of New Orleans at TPC Louisiana, with our Golf operators seeing out the month supporting the Mexico Open at Vidanta Vallarta. The 7th of April also saw the start of the 2022 Major League Baseball season, with Virtual Eye adding updates and 3D models to MLB Network’s StatCast 3D TV graphics package... this first month of the season is 300+ ball games.

Cricket and Golf continued to dominate our calendar in February, with concurrent PGA Tour and European Tour events starting things off - The AT&T Pebble Beach received our support in California at the same time as the Ras Al Khaimah Championship in the UAE. The Waste Management Phoenix Open provided one of our graphical highlights of the month, while the Ras Al Khaimah Classic on the European Tour was simultaneously supported by our remote operations teams. At the same time our remote ops were delivering graphics to the first and second T20 matches between Australia and Sri Lanka at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

The third T20 between Australia and Sri Lanka took place at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, while the fourth and fifth were at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The final two sports events for us in February were the Genesis Invitational in California and the Honda Classic at the PGA National Resort in Florida.
