2020 Players Championship: ‘Every Shot Live’ – All the details you need to know

This week at The Players, golf fans will be able to see every shot from every player in the field live from TPC Sawgrass.

The PGA Tour announced the news back in October, and the concept ‘Every Shot Live’ is set to deliver in the region of 32,000 shots combined by 144 players over four days of action.

To avail of the service, golf fans will need to be a subscriber to PGA Tour Live on NBC Sports Gold and can then tune into PGATour.com/EveryShotLive from Thursday morning to see all the shots of their chosen player.

Over 120 cameras will be utilized at TPC Sawgrass this week between NBC, PGA Tour Live, and ‘Every Shot Live’ – with 93 of those cameras being dedicated to the latter.

All 18 tee boxes will have an unmanned camera with all 18 greens having an operated camera each. A minimum of one wireless camera will occupy each fairway, with a total of at least four cameras on each hole.

No announcers will feature on the ‘Every Shot Live’ coverage with natural sounds being used for the service. Shot tracer will be utilized on each tee shot.

The service is similar to that which was rolled out at The Masters recently, where within moments, fans could see the latest shot struck from their chosen player. The big difference this week, however, is that every shot from this week’s Players Championship will be available to see in real-time.

The Players takes place this week from March 12-15.

While speaking with Hugo Costa of Golf Channel Latin America, Jon Rahm indicated that he wasn’t too well recieved by some PGA Tour players at The Masters.

“Some did. I expected it. And then, there was someone else who I expected to be a little tougher… and one of them hugged me. I think that, among all the relationships I have, it has been everything what I expected. My friends are still my friends. And then someone, with whom I was very cordial and had a positive relationship (in quotes), has not even looked at me”.

“If someone changes their opinion of me, it is more their problem than mine. I am not worried”.

According to Costa, Patrick Cantlay and Max Homa were the two who were hostile towards Rahm

“Important players with whom Jon Rahm had a good relationship, such as Patrick Cantlay or Max Homa, could have had gestures of contempt towards the Spaniard in this Masters.”

Rahm will tee it up next at LIV Adelaide in a few weeks.

Greg Norman is at this week’s Masters tournament but found himself in a situation where he had to buy himself a ticket to enter the grounds.

Speaking to the Washington Post, Norman explained why he was at Augusta National:

“I’m here because we have 13 players that won 10 Masters between them. So I’m here just to support them, do the best I can to show them, ‘Hey, you know, the boss is here rooting for you.’ ”

So who was Norman following during the opening round of this year’s Masters? Well the answer may surprise you.

Per Sports Illustrated’s Bob Harig, Norman was spotted following the LIV-less grouping of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele.

Collin Morikawa makes surprising late putter switch at Masters

Collin Morikawa has had plenty of success with a blade in his hands over the course of his young career, but after a lean spell on the greens lately, it appears that the 27-year-old is ready to try something new.

The California-native began the year with his TaylorMade TP Soto before switching to a Logan Olson proto last month. Now at this week’s Masters, Morikawa has been spotted with a Spider Tour X, the same flatstick that Scottie Scheffler will be using at Augusta.

The move would represent a big change, but it has been a very frustrating year on the greens for Morikawa, who will hope the TaylorMade mallet can offer him a similar upturn in fortune to that of Scheffler. In 2024, Morikawa ranks 164th for Strokes Gained: Putting, and 157th for Total Putting.

We’ll keep an eye whether Morikawa puts the mallet into action on day one of the Masters.
