RyderCup.com, managed by Turner Sports in partnership with the PGA of America and European Tour, will provide extensive online, mobile and social coverage of the 2014 Ryder Cup, the world’s premier international team golf event.

RyderCup2014Logo.svgNow through Sunday, fans will have complete access to live streaming video including behind the scenes content, interactive leaderboard updates, live radio commentary, video alerts and social interaction.  The content will be available across a wide array of platforms including desktop, Android and iOS smartphones and tablets, as well as the new Ryder Cup App (also available on Samsung Smart TVs in the U.S. for the first time this year).

The Ryder Cup LIVE video player, via RyderCup.com and Ryder Cup apps, will offer live streaming coverage from Gleneagles Resort in Scotland.  The live video stream will include a dedicated feed produced exclusively for RyderCup.com and Ryder Cup apps, integrated content such as breaking news updates, a real-time leaderboard and social media integration.  Additionally, Ryder Cup LIVE video will provide coverage of the opening and closing ceremonies. The Ryder Cup LIVE video announce team will include host Vince Cellini, analyst Michael Breed and Brian Katrek as course reporter.

The PGA of America, Samsung and Turner Sports have also partnered to unveil the Ryder Cup TV App – designed exclusively for the Samsung Smart TV platform – offering a new and interactive way for golf fans to experience the Ryder Cup. The TV app, which follows last month’s unveil of the first-ever PGA Championship TV App, features “Broadcast Mode,” which allows users to complement and customize their viewing experience, while Samsung’s multi-screen functionality will seamlessly pair Samsung TVs with mobile devices. Additionally, fans with Samsung Smart TVs can trigger interactive experiences, exclusive Ryder Cup content, and access to live scoring, video on demand, the official leaderboard, photo galleries and more.

Additionally, RyderCup.com will feature a social hub where fans of Team USA and Team Europe, along with golf fans around the world, can join the conversation leading up to and throughout one of golf’s most engaging international events.
