PGA TOUR Innovation Highlights The PGA TOUR strives to be a leader in sports innovation with a goal of reaching new fans globally. THE PLAYERS Championship in 2017 marked the first time a major sports event distributed a live 360 VR experience on Twitter. Soon after, the PGA TOUR and Intel announced an exclusive relationship to produce and globally distribute live virtual reality (VR) and live 360 video via Twitter at six PGA TOUR events in 2017 and 2018. The PGA TOUR was the first sports league to utilize AR in a live competition. Development of the PGA TOUR AR app in collaboration with POSSIBLE Mobile, part of the creative agency POSSIBLE, with Official Launch Partner Mastercard was aided by existing data gathered by ShotLink powered by CDW, the TOUR’s longstanding state-of-the-art scoring system. The PGA TOUR AR app was built using ARKit in iOS 11 to provide immersive AR experiences for the game of golf. The PGA TOUR was also the first sports league to have a virtual reality app on the Oculus Platform and the first sports league to develop a unique experience for Amazon Echo. The PGA TOUR HoloLens app, which debuted this year at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, is available for free in the Microsoft store. The HoloLens app integrates post round data from ShotLink and CDW to create a 3D model of TPC Scottsdale that can be displayed on a tabletop or any flat horizontal surface. Users can zoom in to view the details of any hole and compare how two players performed on a hole and view heat maps of most ball traffic on a certain hole along with real time weather.
Old Westbury, New York – As attendees stroll the fairways at THE NORTHERN TRUST, the first event in the PGA TOUR’s FedExCup Playoffs, they will be able to taste a slice of New York, as the tournament announced today that Junior’s Cheesecake will be served onsite, along with some of its other famous items. Served at the tournament’s Taste NY Marketplace, an upgraded concession and fan destination, Junior’s is one of several new food venues meant to capture the unique, world-class food culture of Manhattan. Featuring fashion, food and do-or-die drama as the top 125 players in the FedExCup compete on a world stage, THE NORTHERN TRUST will be played at the prestigious Glen Oaks Club in Old Westbury, New York, from August 22-27, 2017. Founded by Harry Rosen in 1950 in Brooklyn, Junior’s landmark restaurant is known as the home of New York’s best cheesecake. Today, Junior’s has several locations, from the original on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, to the theater district on Broadway in Times Square, and even at the Fox Tower Hotel at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. This August, Junior’s will add a new location during tournament week at THE NORTHERN TRUST, giving players and fans the chance to experience one of New York’s favorite traditions. “We look forward to showing PGA TOUR players and professional eaters from around the country what New Yorkers have known for over 67 years,â€� said Alan Rosen, third-generation owner of Junior’s Restaurant & Bakery. “We look forward to serving some of our signature items like Reuben’s, corned beef, pastrami and of course cheesecake at THE NORTHERN TRUST.” The recipe for Junior’s Cheesecake remains unchanged, featuring only the finest ingredients like premium cream cheese, fresh heavy cream, eggs and a touch of vanilla. In 1973, New York Magazine conducted a blind taste test and rated Junior’s the best cheesecake in New York, and since then, it has won several accolades and awards including the “Best Overall Mail-order Cheesecakeâ€� from the Wall Street Journal and “Best Food Gift NYâ€� from People Magazine. Junior’s will also be serving other items, like its famous Reubens, onsite. Junior’s will be available at THE NORTHERN TRUST in the Taste NY Marketplace as part of a partnership with New York State. Located in a shaded area adjacent to the 16th fairway of the Glen Oaks Club, Taste NY will sponsor the venue and feature menu items from various iconic New York restaurants that will be announced in the lead-up to the event. The area also features various other enhancements and is open to all fans onsite. New York State Agriculture Commissioner Richard A. Ball said, “We are proud to sponsor the Taste NY Marketplace and highlight all of the great New York restaurants and businesses who make some of the best food and beverages in the world. The Taste NY Marketplace will be an exciting destination for THE NORTHERN TRUST fans and spectators who are looking to sample locally made products and unique dishes from iconic New York restaurants. We look forward to connecting even more consumers to New York agriculture and cuisine.â€� THE NORTHERN TRUST will kick off the FedExCup Playoffs at the Glen Oaks Club in Old Westbury, New York, August 22-27, 2017.
