SHOTLINK

ShotLink System is a revolutionary platform. The ShotLink system operates on the PGA TOUR, Champions TOUR, and Web.com TOUR (approximately 93 events each year). SThe TOUR implemented its first electronic scoreboard system in 1983. This initial program provided 19 electronic scoreboards on-site at each PGA TOUR event. The system was supported by a proprietary data collection device and two mini-computers.The scoreboard system was upgraded in 1987 to use a wireless device for data collection and... an official record keeping system was introduced at the tournament site to record the scoring for historical purposes. In 1992 they extended the system from a scoreboard system to a complete scoring system. This system leveraged the data collection capabilities of the scoreboard system and provided inquiry and analysis computers in 60 locations including hospitality, media, and broadcast locations. The scoring system also provided an automated interface to the broadcasters’ graphics equipment.More
