Excellent. Golf in HD really shows what the format is capable of.

Yeah, I can't wait for this, I love watching the Masters and only got HD in Jan. Looking forward to seeing it in HD, always thought it looked pretty good on BBC2 so this should be superb!
Anyone that watched it last year also watch the HD golf on Eurosport now and then - how does the BBC HD footage compare?

Just hope the encoders at the beed can do it justice this year. I have a feeling could be a big let down.

I still think SkyHD coverage of the European Tour and Ryder Cup is the best I've seen though.

There were also some really nasty moire effects on any fine detail and anything with stripes. So on the whole, Sky and Eurosport HD's coverage of golf has been superior.

Is it my imagination or did last nights pictures look although detailed, fairly bleached of colour?

Thought the colour was ok, but it just didn't have the sharpness.

Had it on BBC2 watching it, then remembered it was on HD, turned over to BBC HD and wasn't blown away by the difference. Nowhere near the jaw dropping quality of Sky's HD golf.

Yeah I thought it was good quality picture but not great compared to other HD sports (I don't watch golf but have only flicked over to sky stuff to see the picture for a few minutes).

Pretty disappointing, really. The difference between the ads for HD at the break and the golf itself made you feel you were going back to an SD feed.
Still, looks like a cakewalk for Tiger, good picture or not.
Cheers
