Yeon Ye-gye (CEO) 'Golf Goddess' Soyou has been selected as the on-site MC for the KLPGA.

OnLINE video-on-demand service Wavve will sequentially operate an immersive broadcast called 'Field Cam' during the final rounds of major Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) tournaments from September to November. This special broadcast, separate from traditional TV coverage, follows a single player throughout their round, capturing gameplay, on-site reactions, and scenes before and after matches.

For Field Cam, each tournament designates one 'Wavve Pick' player for focused follow-through from the first hole to the eighteenth hole. Singer Soyou serves as the main MC, while former professional golfer Ahn Shin-ae and commentator Park Won appear in rotation across different tournaments.

The broadcast is structured into three segments: 'Field Preview' before the match, 'Field Live' during play, and 'Field Behind' after the tournament concludes. Field Preview covers gallery etiquette, the tournament venue and course, player introductions, practice footage, and interviews. Field Live and Field Behind feature on-site gallery stories during the match and post-match interviews, respectively.

The live broadcast begins at 9:30 a.m. on September 13, coinciding with the final round of the KB Financial Golden Life Championship. Subsequent Field Cam live broadcasts will air at the same time for the Hana Financial Group Championship (September 20), Hite Jinro Championship (October 4), HJ Heavy Industries·Dongbu Construction Championship (October 11), Iceberg Golf·Seoul Shinmun Open (tentative title, October 18), and Daebow House Design Championship (November 8).

A Wavve representative stated, "Field Cam aims to bring viewers closer to players' unique moments and the vibrant atmosphere of the course that are rarely seen on TV broadcasts." They added, "We continue to upgrade our golf broadcasting services so fans can enjoy the game more closely and together."

Wavve provides media commerce options allowing viewers to purchase related products directly from golf content streams, including live KLPGA and KPGA tour broadcasts. The live golf channels have introduced real-time 'Chat' and 'Multi-View' features, enabling simultaneous viewing of up to three channels (KLPGA, KPGA, or Field Cam) via Multi-View, or up to two TV channels at once.
