Introduction
This personal project is an experimental exploration into interactive broadcast design.
I reimagined the LIV Golf scoreboard as a dynamic, viewer-controlled overlay that allows audiences to access detailed player and team information instantly while staying immersed in the live broadcast.
The Problem/Challenge
While watching live broadcasts, viewers often face a common frustration: wanting to check a player’s detailed score or team standings without losing focus on the live action.
Traditional broadcasts require either waiting for the director to show the information or navigating away from the main feed to score trackers or external websites.
This breaks the viewing flow and reduces immersion.
Goal
The goal was to transform the passive broadcast experience into a more engaging, viewer-driven one.
Inspired by interactive overlays commonly seen in esports (such as Twitch Extensions), I aimed to give viewers real-time control over the information they see — without cluttering the screen or interrupting the gameplay.
Golf’s relatively slow pace and wide, serene shots with large areas of clean background make it especially well-suited for this kind of layered, on-demand information UI.
Solution
For this personal experiment, I prototyped an Interactive LIV Golf Scoreboard Overlay that builds directly on LIV Golf’s existing broadcast design system.
I focused on enhancing interactivity and refining the existing animations for smoother, more polished transitions.
Key Interactions:
1. Toggle between Player Leaderboard and Team Leaderboard
Viewers can switch between individual player standings and team standings by simply clicking the LIV Golf logo in the top-left corner.
2. Player Details on Click
Clicking on a player’s name expands a clean panel showing their full name, nationality flag, current hole, and team context.
3. Per-Round Score Breakdown
Clicking on a player’s score opens the detailed per-hole scorecard at the bottom of the screen, displaying strokes for each hole in the current round.
4. Hole Map Display
Clicking the current hole indicator opens a detailed hole map on the right side of the screen, helping viewers better understand the player’s position and upcoming challenges.
All interactions were designed to feel natural and responsive, improved upon the original broadcast transitions — making them cleaner and less distracting.
Outcome
This experiment demonstrated that giving control back to the audience can enhance the viewing experience.
The future of sports broadcasting may lie in empowering viewers with interactive tools that complement — rather than compete with — the live footage.
