US cable television provider Comcast will broadcast next month’s Masters golf tournament in 3D.
In a first for the sport, subscribers who have a 3D-enabled TV will be able to watch two hours of 3D coverage a day on a dedicated Masters channel.
CBS and Walt Disney’s ESPN, which share coverage of the tournament, will continue to broadcast in 2D.
The USPGA Tour trialled 3D production at the Sony Open in January. Sony will sponsor and provide the technology and on-course cameras for the Masters 3D broadcast.
Derek Harrar, Comcast’s senior vice-president of video, said: “We’ve been experimenting with different holes and camera angles, and so far the test footage looks fantastic.”
Tiger Woods announced this week that he will make his long-awaited comeback at the Masters – golf’s first Major of the year.
