We developed a system for visualizing golf putting trajectories that can be used in live broadcasting. The trajectory computer graphics (CGs) in a golf putting scene are useful for visualizing the results of past plays and the shape of the green. In addition, displaying past trajectories that were shot near the position of the next player helps TV viewers predict the ball movement of the next play. Visualizing the putting trajectories in this way offers TV viewers a new style of watching live golf tournaments and helps make the programs more understandable and exiting.
