LIV Golf's "Any Shot Any Time" has been nominated for the 46th Annual Sports Emmy Awards by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS). The feature, which was introduced in 2024, has been nominated in the category of "Outstanding Interactive Experience."

As the name suggests, the feature allows users to select and watch shots from any player or team at any given time. They can also view and customize highlight reels from any round of any LIV tournament. The feature can be accessed through the LIV Golf+ app.

To make the feature possible, the production team at the Saudi-backed tour sends 36 synced feeds to Google Cloud. Artificial intelligence then adds graphics to these feeds for user-selected viewing, as a second-screen experience, as per Sports Video Group.

Talking about the technology, LIV Golf Senior Vice President of Production said (via SVG News):

"We see our Any Shot, Any Time initiative as helping solve the age-old debate between fans. Some want to watch the leaders/top 10 players/top 3 teams while others want to watch established stars or their nation’s heroes."

The other four nominations in the "Outstanding Interactive Experience" are Games of the XXXIII Olympiad (NBC | Peacock), Invisible Disabilities (ESPN), Pat Tillman – The Battle Within (ESPN), and Thursday Night Football: Black Friday Football (Amazon MGM Studios | Prime Video).

PGA Tour's documentary on Scottie Scheffler's 2024 season, Scottie 24, has also been nominated for an Emmy in the "Outstanding Edited Event Coverage." Their Drone AR, which shows real-time ball tracking, has also earned a nomination under "Technical Achievement Award."
