Turner Sports and the PGA Tour will debut Shot Tracker, a free, graphical live-scoring application that represents the next generation of online golf coverage with access to the most comprehensive and up-to-the second tournament coverage that is offered online, available on http://www.pgatour.com.
The program takes fans inside the ropes with unrivaled visuals that indicate real-time scores, shot trails, exact ball location and performance of each golfer for every tour tournament.
Shot Tracker debuted Aug. 21 for the opening round of The Barclays, and will be available for the Deutsche Bank Championship (Aug. 29-Sept. 1), the BMW Championship (Sept. 4-7) and the Tour Championship presented by Coca-Cola (Sept. 25-28) – as well as for all future PGA Tour tournaments.

Key features include:
* Customizable content that allows fans to decide which players they want to follow, how they want to follow them and what they want to see live.
* Live shot trails, ball locations and hole graphics that indicate where players hit their balls and provide the ability to zoom into the greens to see daily pin positions.
* Real-time statistics that provide up-to-the-minute coverage along with predictive stats to determine what a player will do the next shot, based on each player's in-round performance.
* Replay features ensure golf fans never miss a shot, by allowing fans to look back to see how players performed on previous holes.
