October 23, 2023
ViewLift, a specialist in end-to-end streaming and OTT solutions, has announced the launch of the LIV Golf Plus app on Roku and Samsung Smart TVs.
The app, built by ViewLift, can be viewed on Android, iOS, and is now available for download worldwide on Roku and all Samsung models manufactured from 2019.
“By enabling Roku and Samsung Smart TV owners to watch LIV Golf action, ViewLift has boosted the number of golf fans that we can reach globally,” said Will Staeger, Chief Media Officer, LIV Golf. “Working with ViewLift as our OTT partner has been a huge success, enabling us to rapidly expand the number of golf fans we reach on web, mobile and Smart TV through the LIV Golf Plus app.”
Manik Bambha, President, ViewLift, said: “The LIV Golf Plus app enables golf fans to enjoy many of the world’s greatest golfers on key platforms. With this launch, the LIV Golf Plus app can now be enjoyed by households that own the world’s most popular Smart TV brand and North America’s top ad-supported streaming service, furthering LIV Golf’s consumer reach and monetisation.”
ViewLift enables LIV Golf to stream live tournaments through PCs, mobile devices, Smart TVs, and other TV-connected devices. It has developed the LIV Golf Plus apps, and the video functionality of the LIVGolfPlus website. ViewLift’s cloud-based platform enabled LIV Golf to launch live video on the web just weeks after engagement in 2022. For the 2023 season, ViewLift and LIV Golf have worked together to offer new content experiences, including viewing through the LIV Golf Plus mobile, connected and Smart TV apps, while also providing additional content streams, such as live action from the driving range and practice green, cams on each hole, and team streams.
