Yellow Line

A digital graphic overlay used in televised golf broadcasts to illustrate the recommended putting line from ball to hole. The yellow line helps viewers understand the break, speed, and intended path that professional golfers are reading on the green. This broadcast enhancement technology uses sophisticated green-reading data and topographical information to display the optimal putting line. While helpful for television viewers, these lines sometimes differ from what players actually choose, as golfers may prefer different speeds or have personal putting preferences that affect their line selection.
