ESPN+ will offer 4,300 hours of PGA Tour Live golf streaming

Posted on by

Golf has been booming during the pandemic as folks look for socially distanced outdoor activities, and that has extended to interest in televised golf. There's going to be a lot more to watch in 2022, as ESPN+ has announced that it will offer 4,300 hours of golf coverage across 35 tournaments as part of its PGA Tour Live streaming deal. US viewers will also pay less to access the service.

In the past, we've seen "Featured Groups" and "Featured Holes" on PGA Tour Live. Next year, however, ESPN+ will offer four concurrent feeds, adding a "Marquee Group" with the most interesting players. It's also introducing a "Main Feed" that will resemble a traditional broadcast with the best content from all its cameras around the course. 

ESPN+ said the PGA Tour Live production crew will increase from 85 to 210 people as part of its new commitment to the tour. Each feed will have hosts and on-course analysts including Stuart Appleby, Christina Kim, Chantel McCabe and Mark Immelman. 

PGA Tour Live first launched as a free service on pgatour.com, and has recently been available for free on Twitter during select broadcasts. Now, you'll need to pay $6.99 per month for ESPN+, or pick it up in the Disney Bundle that includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ for $13.99 per month (ESPN+ is only available in the US). That's a significant sum, but PGA Tour Live currently costs $9.99 per month on NBC Sports Gold, and ESPN+ offers other live sports coverage (soccer, MLB baseball, NHL hockey, MMA, etc.) on top of golf.

Golf Putting Pool Table

Posted on by


This is a great game fore! your home, a real hole in one. The Golf Putting Pool Table is a giant putting green that lets you play pool. And golf. At the same time. Everyone can get in on the fun. This 78″ by 57″ mat rolls up for easy storage (you know, in case you don’t want a permanent giant pool table on your floor, but hey if you do then go for it champ). To set it up, just unroll, attach the rails, and you’re good to go.

Looks like tons of fun. And easier for kids (and adults) to master than regular game of pool because it’s way easier to hit a putt than use a pool cue. The set comes with the green, rails, carbon fiber golf clubs, and 16 golf balls painted up just like a normal pool set. A great gift or party idea. Just don’t two putt the eight ball and don’t chalk up your golf clubs.

Your robotic caddie!

Posted on by

Like the idea of a golf caddie but don’t enjoy relying on another human to carry your prized possessions around for you? Then DUCK (Axglo X-E) may just be the product for you! Packed into this electric caddie is an all-intelligent following system that accurately navigates the terrain whilst maintaining a consistent distance away from you. The 80,000 mAh battery provides the nifty device with enough energy for 25km of roaming; adequate range for even the largest of courses!

Something which DUCK can do that you cannot do with the human variant, is fold it up and place it neatly in the boot of your car. DUCK automatically reduces in size to create a storage-friendly package that is far more convenient to transport. This high level of practically continues with the myriad or storage pockets and compartments that make-up the multi-functional console; leading to a product that can carry far more than just your clubs!

Designer: Rice Mak

The Axglo has 3 modes. In following mode, the handlebar does not need to be pulled up, which enhances the experience and formally change the concept of “pull”. Certainly, if golf cart runs out of electricity, people can still use it in pulling mode. When it is converted into the storage mode, multiple transmission structures can cooperate to fold quickly.

The Axglo is designed in a way where the golf bag is facing the golfer automatically. This can give the golfer the ability to quickly and easily access their desire club to make the perfect shot, hence get rid of the inconvenience to get the club from traidtional cart.

Above: Traditional Electric Cart. Below: Axglo

The Axglo can easily climb a slope of over 45 degrees. Without the use of auxiliary wheel, it improves the problem of losing balance by maxmizing the length of the front and rear wheelbase. The most important thing is that the folding size is smaller than other folding electric golf carts in the existing market.
