PLATFORM Golf, a market leader in immersive golf technology, has installed their TrueSlope™ system, a full-swing and putting platform, inside the Sky Sports studio in Isleworth, marking a significant step forward in how golf is analysed and presented across broadcast coverage.
The platform made its on-air debut during Sky Sports’ Masters Breakfast coverage from Augusta National, where it was successfully used by analysts to recreate on-course conditions and support technical discussion. The initial use demonstrated the system’s broadcast value, providing viewers with enhanced insight into the challenges faced by players at one of golf’s most demanding venues.
Following this successful first deployment, the installation is set to play a key role in Sky Sports’ ongoing coverage of both the DP World Tour and PGA Tour. The full-swing TrueSlope™ configuration allows presenters and analysts to replicate uneven lies, stance challenges, and real-world course conditions, delivering deeper storytelling and more technically rich analysis during live broadcasts.
By recreating the physical demands players experience on tour, the system enables Sky Sports’ on-air talent to demonstrate shot execution, decision-making, and course management in a far more engaging and authentic way. Combined with launch monitor data from Trackman, the platform creates an immersive environment that bridges the gap between studio analysis and on-course performance.
The Isleworth installation builds on PLATFORM Golf’s growing presence in elite broadcast and performance environments, following the successful Open Zone activation at Royal Portrush during The Open Championship last year. It also complements high-profile installations at Yas Links in Abu Dhabi, Athletic Motion Golf performance facilities in the United States, and Precision Golf outside London, alongside partnerships with leading coaching and performance centres worldwide.
Thomas Hackett, Co-Founder and CEO of PLATFORM Golf, said: “This installation at Sky Sports represents an exciting evolution in how golf analysis is delivered to viewers. The successful use during the Masters Breakfast demonstrated how effectively the platform can bring real-world conditions into a studio environment.
“As we move into continued coverage of the DP World Tour and PGA Tour, the platform will play an important role, allowing analysts to demonstrate shots, explain decision-making, and create more engaging, educational coverage. This is about enhancing storytelling and bringing fans closer to the realities of professional golf.”
The installation reinforces PLATFORM Golf’s position as a category-defining innovator in off-course golf technology. Through continued collaboration with industry leaders such as Trackman, and high-profile deployments across broadcast and performance environments, the company continues to shape the future of both training and golf broadcasting.
As golf coverage evolves, PLATFORM Golf remains at the forefront, delivering immersive, performance-driven solutions that bring real-world conditions into studio environments and redefine how the game is experienced.
