I’ve been watching the couple of days of the coverage so far being streamed on PGA.com. Overall the experience has been pretty good. I think my problem has been my slow connection speeds. I’m in a TV truck in Victoria, BC. We have the slower 11mbps wireless connection in here, so there are a lot of rebuffering moments. Also they aren’t showing the whole day of coverage, the feed gets turned off around 12:30pm PST, which is OK if you’re on the East Coast, not so OK from Vancouver Island. On the plus side, the coverage is streamed in widescreen from the high-definition feed, which looks great for golf.

These are early days, but I hope that networks continue to open up their coverage to web viewers that can’t get to a regular television during the working day. Once some more of the sustained bandwidth issues are figured out, getting video coverage of a sporting event from anywhere will be a winner.
