Earlier today, T-Mobile confirmed it has decided to take over one of golf’s biggest events. This means that the carrier’s 5G Advanced network will power various experiences both on and off the course at this year’s PGA Championship, May 12-18 at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Throughout the course of the event, PGA of America will use technology from T-Mobile 5G Advanced Network Solutions (ANS) like network slicing and T-Mobile 5G on Demand, the carrier’s 5G portable private network, to offer golf fans, broadcasters and staff new ways to experience the tournament through 5G innovations.
Here is what those planning to attend the sports event will be able to experience:
- Immersive, mixed-reality broadcast
- Real-time connection to every shot
- Streamlined course operations
- Exclusive customer experiences

Also, this year’s PGA Championship will be the first event where every swing shown on broadcast will be analyzed in real-time using artificial intelligence and notifications of highlight-worthy shots will be delivered as a Roar Moment video highlight.
Last but not least, T-Mobile customers heading to the course can enjoy VIP treatment with Magenta Status all weekend long at Club Magenta, T-Mobile’s premium lounge offering amazing views of the 10th green, plus surprise appearances from special guests including Max Homa, Wyndham Clark, Bryce Young and Jordan Davis, along with limited edition merch, free phone charging, drinks and more.
