The PGA Tour Channel will bring in depth golfing content to a broadcast forum. The PGA Tour will be able to present several broadcasting formats for content. For example, the channel could show live broadcast of PGA Tour events, rebroadcast of favorite and historic tournaments, an hourly PGA Tour news format show, and various shows on golf skills and lessons learned by golf professionals that would be of interest to the viewers.
Golf is a unique sport that is compatible with broadcast television. Unlike most sports, it has the most players at play so there are more story lines which can be broadcast. Also, much like baseball, the sport of golf is statistic driven and many fans view golf tournaments for the simple pleasure of tracking statistics. The PGA Tour already shows various aspect of a golf match through its online streaming features on its website. Viewers are able to view the individual group or player of their choice and following them through the course of their round. They can also focus on one hole during the tournament play and watch in depth statistics regarding the play of the golfers over the course of the tournament.
The channel also has the benefit of having its premier events already scheduled during various periods in the year and the locations make for great broadcast presentation. Even non golfers are amazed at the quality of the greens at Augusta Golf course during the Master's tournament. Also many have never seen the beauty of the courses played during the British Open Championship.
