Daum Opens Golf Live Broadcast Center... Real-Time Pro League Coverage

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Kakao announced on the 16th that it has opened a Golf Broadcast Center in the Daum Sports section of its portal.

The Golf Broadcast Center is a golf-specialized platform that provides live broadcasts of domestic and international professional golf tournaments (PGA, LPGA, KLPGA, KPGA) as well as various golf-related content.

In addition to live broadcasts, it features real-time access to game-related data such as leaderboards and hole-by-hole information of participating players. It also offers highlight videos, tournament-related information, and operates a fan board for supporting players.

Kakao recently decided to secure broadcasting rights for four professional golf leagues (LPGA, PGA, KLPGA, LPGA) and provide online live broadcasts in response to the growing popularity of golf and increasing user demand for online live streaming.

Until now, golf matches could only be watched on TV, and real-time game-related data could only be checked on the official websites of the respective tournaments.

Park Sun-young, head of Kakao Sports Part, said, "Reflecting the demands of many users who want specialized golf content, we have launched the only online golf live broadcast platform in Korea," adding, "We will provide various golf-related content and data, and operate various participatory events such as user voting before and after matches."
