How PGA TOUR^®wins on (and off) the course

Challenge – PGA TOUR was looking to explore how gen AI could transform fan engagement, empower players and broadcasters, and increase internal efficiencies.
Solution – PGA TOUR partnered with AWS, using Amazon Bedrock and Amazon Kendra to capture and analyze data and create content that better served partners, fans, players, and broadcasters. One specific effort involved PGA TOUR creating a prototype virtual assistant in collaboration with the AWS Generative AI Innovation Center.
Result – Multiple use cases are in various stages of production. The latest use case is an automated commentary feature that was demoed at the 2024 PGA TOUR Championship and is scheduled to roll out in 2025. The feature will provide additional context within TOURCAST, the company’s digital scoring platform.

How Formula 1 drives deeper fan engagement

Result – The Formula 1 tool has dramatically enhanced viewing experiences by adding detailed, interactive content and improving engagement, especially for fans craving insights on race dynamics.
