PGA Tour Studios: In-House Media Productions Using Latest Technology
After construction of the production facility was completed in 2022, it opened at the beginning of 2025 following test runs. The three-storey building was constructed next to the PGA Tour Headquarters. It will be the centerpiece of all PGA Tour media productions, including live broadcasts, as well as short-form video, documentary and social media content from the PGA Tour, Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Champions. It also houses the world’s largest library of golf videos with footage dating back to 1920.
The studio has eight production rooms, seven LED studios with a 270-degree LED display and technical equipment for up to 144 cameras. In addition, there are specialized podcast studios where a radio will be produced from 2026.
Monahan: “A Landmark Step in Golf Media”
The studio will also provide international content such as a new “World Feed” with specific coverage of international players. The aim is to better reach fans worldwide and make golf more attractive to the media: “PGA Tour Studios is a landmark step in golf media, signaling a tangible investment to more deeply connect with our fans through energetic, compelling content that brings them further inside the ropes and closer to their favorite stars”, said PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan.
Rick Anderson, CEO of the PGA Tour, emphasized: “With PGA Tour Studios now live, our team can deliver for fans new, dynamic productions that chronicle the incredible stories of our athletes in a new era of golf media.”
Tiger Woods kicked things off in the studio by reviewing the great moments of his career. He commented on videos and photos of his successes, which are shown on a curved screen.
