Virtual Eye News

May is usually a busy month for Virtual Eye Golf, and 2024 is no exception. We started the month providing our ball-tracking and graphics to The CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas, followed closely by the simultaneous Wells Fargo Championship and the Myrtle Beach Classic. Coverage of the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky benefited from our 'Side Slab Tracker' on all 18 holes - using Toptracer ball tracking on tee shots to provide an overhead slab view - as well as our standard fullscreen view, statistical insights and virtual flyover animations.

Virtual Eye next supported The Charles Schwab Challenge on the PGA Tour and the Soudal Open on the DP World Tour - which ran concurrently, and these were followed by the simultaneous RBC Canadian Open, European Open and the US Women's Open to finish the month. The Major League Baseball 2024 season continued, enhanced for broadcasters by the latest version of MLB's StatCast 3D (Virtual Eye maintains and updates MLB StatCast 3D).

Virtual Eye Golf continued supporting PGA Tour events with our ball position and field data graphics during April, beginning with the Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio. Next up, the RBC Heritage tournament at Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina included our new Unreal Golf Viewer in addition to our standard graphics package, followed by covering the Zurich Classic in Louisiana.
The Major League Baseball 2024 season has started, with 10 to 14 games being played every day, enhanced for broadcasters by the latest Unreal version of MLB's StatCast 3D (Virtual Eye maintains and updates MLB StatCast 3D).
