Firefox Video plug-in: Download here

If you are using Firefox, you'll need to download a plugin in order to view videos produced before 2008. You can download the FireFox plug-in here.

  • Once you've downloaded the plugin, open the file and it will take you through an installation process. The full name of the plugin is the TBS WMP Plug-in (or the Turner Broadcasting System Windows Media plug-in). This is the same plug-in used to watch videos on CNN.com. If you've already downloaded the version for CNN, you won't need to download one for PGATOUR.com.
  • Once you've installed the plug-in, you must restart your Firefox browser in order to start viewing videos produced on PGATOUR.com before 2008. To restart Firefox, close your browser completely and then reopen it.
