The Masters will be broadcast in 3-D - although few Americans
own the technology to take advantage.
Augusta National announced today that next month's
tournament can be viewed on 3-D-capable television sets and
computers.
It will be the first 3-D sports event on TV in the United
States; previous experiments used movie theatres.
Few Americans currently own the capable sets, but networks
believe 3-D could be the next big thing and are starting to
offer programming.
Comcast will broadcast the coverage for free to its customers
with 3-D sets.
A feed will also be available on the Masters' Web site. Two
hours of live afternoon coverage, mostly of the back nine,
will be aired each day of the tournament starting with
Wednesday's Par 3 Contest on April 7.
