Wimbledon tennis tournament runs from June 20th to 3rd July.

For a tennis fan, official Wimbledon iPhone app is the perfect companion since you can follow LIVE scoring updates and completed match results wherever you go.

You can check out the schedule, read tournament news, draws, photos. player stats, etc.

Best of these are the videos section that has ‘roundup’ of the day video. This section features highlights from the tennis matches.

The tweets section has twitter updates from all the players.

Also, there are 3 Wimbledon radio stations that cover the matches live from various courts – court no. 1, center court, etc.

Unfortunately, there is no official Wimbledon live stream in this app. However there are ways to watch Wimbledon live on iPhone over 3G. Watch out for a post soon on that.

Should I use my seven iron or hit a long nine?

With myCaddie Pro you won’t have to second guess your yardage.  Not only does this free app allow you to see yardages to the pin with satellite course maps, but you can drop a pin and get the yardages to bunkers, water hazards, or a potential layup area.

That’s not all this app does.  It also doubles as a scorecard, and keeps track of statistics.  Like how many greens you hit in regulation, how many putts per hole, and more.

Just sign up for a free account and download your course maps before heading out.  Already at the course?  You can also download over the air with your data plan.  If you don’t find your course map, do not fret.  Mapping your course on the www.imakepars.com website is simple and only takes 10-15 minutes, there is even a video walkthrough to help you learn the process.

The only problem I have seen with this app is battery drainage.  Although, it is to be expected when you are operating your GPS constantly, you can easily shut down the app between shots, and it only takes a few seconds to relocate you the next time you open the app.  This app currently works with iPhone 3, 3GS, and 4.

Although there has been some report of bugs on the iOS4 platform, the developer reports on their site that a fix has been submitted to the app store.

ESPN has just released a free iPhone app that gives you live streaming access to the top events on ESPN channels.

However, access to ESPN live streaming via iPhone is limited at the moment to subscribers of teh following providers.

• Bright House Networks, Time Warner Cable & Verizon FiOS TV – ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and ESPNU are available to fans who receive ESPN as part of their TV package
• Verizon High Speed Internet – If you do NOT receive TV service from an above provider, but receive high-speed internet from Verizon, you will have access to ESPN3

I am a little bummed that AT&T UVerse or DISH network isn’t in the list yet.

If you are lucky enough to get access, here are the programs you’d get to watch live on your iPhone.

Live streaming access to the top events from the ESPN family of networks, including:

• NBA Regular Season and Playoffs
• Major League Baseball
• The Masters, US Open and The Open Championships
• College Football and Basketball
• Barclay’s Premier League, Spanish Primera Division and Euro 2012 Soccer
• All 4 Grand Slam tennis events
  …and thousands more live events airing on the ESPN networks

I hope ESPN can work out an agreement with more providers and also bring this to the Apple iPad. You may have heard about the recent squabble between Time Warner & CableVision when they made live tv available on the iPad.

There are other ways to watch live tv on iPhone. Let us know in the comments if you would like to share your favorite way.
