PR Newswire (US)
ATLANTA, Aug. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Golfing fanatics can feed their
addiction on their wireless phone thanks to the new PGA TOUR Portal
from Cingular Wireless. Today's launch of the TOUR Portal ahead of
the 87th PGA Championship will allow most of Cingular's more than
51 million customers access to the most up-to-date, in-depth and
content-rich PGA TOUR information available. Cingular's TOUR Portal
will be highlighted by the award-winning TOURCast Mobile, a
cutting-edge graphical application that puts wireless users almost
as close to the action as the caddies. TOURCast Mobile provides
real-time statistical information on PGA TOUR tournament
leaderboards, including unprecedented coverage of every player,
every hole and every shot. SHOTlink, the signature component of
TOURCast Mobile, features a graphical representation of what is
happening on the course at any moment to many Cingular
Internet-ready wireless phones. The TOUR Portal also allows users
to customize the news feature to deliver up-to-date scoring alerts
and breaking news about their favorite players. The Internet
version of TOURCast Mobile, a popular premium feature on
PGATOUR.com, was recently announced as an Emmy nominee for
Outstanding Achievement in Advanced Media Technology for the
Enhancement of Original Television Content by the National
Television Academy. This will be the first time that TOURCast has
been offered in wireless format. Golf Digest Mobile(TM) will also
offer a vast library of wallpaper and screensavers showcasing the
magazine's award-winning golf photography, in addition to serving
as a one-stop resource for researching the best courses to play
among over 6,000 public and resort links in North America. In
addition to providing virtual access to the biggest names on the
PGA TOUR week-in and week-out, the TOUR Portal can also help users
take their game to the next level. With the Golf Digest Mobile(TM)
feature, beginning and expert players alike will benefit from
detailed instruction tips from the most respected golf teachers in
the game. All of these tips will soon be available as part of the
magazine's popular editorial franchise, "Breaking 100, 90, 80."
Another unique feature of the TOUR Portal allows golfers to ditch
the traditional scorecard and create their own wireless scorecard.
eGolfScore (http://www.egolfscore.com/) provides golfers an
integrated wireless scoring and tracking analysis system featuring
RoundCast(R), which offers golfers the opportunity to publish their
round in real time to the Web. eGolfScore serves as a personal
wireless scorecard to score rounds while you're on the course with
your Web-enabled phone or other wireless handheld device, then save
the scores with just the touch of a button. Also on the TOUR Portal
is EA Sports Tiger Woods PGA(R) TOUR Golf, one of the best selling
sports video games on the market. This game features tournament or
head-to-head formats against some of the greatest names in golf
history, as well as downloadable courses. "The wireless TOUR Portal
brings together the best wireless golf applications," said Dave
Garver, Executive Director of High Growth Segments and Sponsorships
at Cingular Wireless. "Whether you're playing the sport, keeping up
with the latest PGA TOUR action or enjoying a video game, the TOUR
Portal has something for you. This is another example of how
Cingular continues to stay on the cutting edge of providing fresh,
interactive content that makes the wireless experience unique for
our customers." Cingular customers can access the TOUR Portal on
their Internet-ready handset by going to MEdia Net/Sports, or by
text messaging "TOUR" to "4742" and opting in to the service. The
TOUR Portal will be accessible anywhere Cingular Wireless service
is available. TOURCast Mobile will be available during most PGA
TOUR events, ensuring fans will never miss a shot of the action.
