resources to deliver a better experience here in the United States. “PGA TOUR Studios is a landmark step in golf media, signaling a tangible investment to more deeply connect with our fans through energetic, compelling content that brings them further inside the ropes and closer to their favorite stars,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan. “Every new technology and forwardthinking innovation we introduce is about serving our fans and meeting them where they are, and the creative capabilities of PGA TOUR Studios will help us further that mission while showcasing the beauty of our sport.” The new facility now houses all media operations, including live production of PGA TOUR Champions, Korn Ferry Tour, more than 5,000 hours of PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN+, as well as an expansive roster of more than 50 original, social and digital media platforms. PGA TOUR Studios is also home to the largest library of golf content in the world, featuring more than 170,000 videos totaling 223,000 hours of content, with the earliest being a film transfer dating back nearly a century from 1920. With hardware and ample space to accommodate both current and future standards, PGA TOUR Studios enables the TOUR to produce creative content – even beyond the world of golf – while giving its creators freedom to experiment with the latest cutting-edge technologies. At launch, PGA TOUR Studios features eight production rooms, eight audio control rooms and seven LED-outfitted studios, including a 270-degree LED display in Studio 1A. The studios are capable of monitoring and displaying thousands of video and audio feeds, all capturing action from up to 144 cameras, or live feeds. The completion of the campus helped the TOUR achieve the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design BD+C Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, due to its sustainable design and operation with specific approaches to energy conservation, water use reduction and enhanced indoor air quality.
