I attended the PGA Championship at the Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. As an avid golf fan, attending my first in-person event, and having it be a major should have been exciting enough.But as a tech nerd, I was almost as excited to see what the PGA Championship had to offer in terms of the in-person experience.Tracking players on the map so you always know who's in front of you and where your favorites are playing stands out the most to me, but other features like an AI companion, grandstand seat tracker and Roar Moments that prevent you from missing impressive shots while you're on a different hole create an experience that I hope becomes the standard at professional golf events — and sports events in general.How an app became one of my favorite parts of the PGA ChampionshipWhen I decided to go to the PGA Championship, I assumed there'd be some kind of app designed to help me get around the venue. After all, a golf course is a rather large venue for a sporting event compared to an arena or even a stadium.What I didn't expect was how robust the app's features actually are and how much connectivity it would offer. In my experience, getting around the Aronimink Golf Club was smooth, as I always knew where I was, which players were near me and where I needed to go.Golfer tracking
