Open Golf 2024 UHD

[MikeySti]

How come the first day of The Open is not in UHD currently, despite it being listed as such?

Same question from me. Are Sky trying to resolve the sound dropping out on uhd main event ?

@MikeySti  as far as I'm aware the Open golf has never been broadcast in UHD.

Its listed as being on SkySpME UHD but like some other sports on this channel, it doesn't mean its native UHD but upscaled at best.

Generally only football, F1 and cricket * (as is now on red button on ch404) is native UHD/HDR.

* and occasionally sports like Darts

Ps. Personally I would love to see golf in uhd/hdr as the long range camera shots from above would benefit from the increased clarity of 4k.
