The Masters tournament organizers are taking action against the use of AI glasses that violate their strict no-phone and no-camera policy. This move comes after golfer Mark Calcavecchia was expelled from the event for using his mobile phone.
These high-tech glasses are equipped with mini speakers, microphones, and cameras, enabling wearers to message, listen to music, and take photos and videos discreetly. Detecting these devices can be challenging for untrained individuals.
According to reports, Augusta National, which hosts the Masters, has made detecting AI glasses a top priority for security personnel. Officials are being trained to identify the hidden cameras within these glasses.
An incident was reported where a fan tried to bring AI glasses to the Masters during a practice round but was allowed to keep them after the club confiscated the device. However, anyone caught with such glasses during the final round risks being ejected and banned from future tournaments.
Officials are monitoring online platforms for content posted using these glasses, and fans are reminded of the tournament’s strict policy against electronic devices once the competition begins.
Several players have expressed support for the policy, emphasizing the importance of tradition and respect for the event’s integrity. The Masters tournament will be broadcast live starting on April 6, with coverage available through various channels and streaming services.
