Golf in 3D? That’s a lot of green….

If you have a 3D television and Foxtel’s sports package, FOX Sports will be bringing you 3D coverage of the final two hours of play from each round of the 2011 US Masters from Augusta National Golf Club commencing tomorrow.

Delayed coverage of the final two hours of play on all four days of action will be available in 3D on Foxtel 3D Channel 201 as an extension to the main coverage of the tournament screening on FOX Sports HD and SD channels from 11.30am tomorrow on FOX Sports 2HD and FOX Sports 2.

FOX Sports 3D coverage of the US Masters will screen from 4pm AEST each day during the tournament, showcasing the action from the final two hours of play from each round. The coverage will provide viewers with real perspective of the undulating famed Augusta fairways and greens that challenge the world’s best players to produce their best golf in the pressure cooker environment of the year’s first major championship.

The 3D coverage will be available to Foxtel customers with a Foxtel iQHD set-top-unit, who also subscribe to the Sports Package and have a 3D capable TV. Repeat broadcasts of each days coverage will be available at 6pm AEST and 8pm AEST.

This will mark the second occasion that FOX Sports has provided 3D coverage of golf, after screening Live 3D coverage of the final two rounds of this year’s Sony Open from Hawaii in January. This followed last year’s historic 3D coverage of football (Socceroos v New Zealand) and tennis (2010 French Open Women’s Final and 2010 US OPEN Men’s & Women’s Singles Finals).

FOX Sports 3D coverage details for the 2011 US Masters (available on Foxtel 3D Channel 201):

  3. Once again Austar subscribers miss out! When Fox Sports 3D and ESPN 3D launched in Australia they launched on Austar the same time as Foxtel, but as soon as Foxtel put their name on it Austar became anal and refused to launch the channel. One minute their rewarding their customers and the next their punishing them by taking it away. Rediculous!
