PGA TOUR Delivers Win, Cut Probability Analytics Across Multiple Platforms using Amazon ECS with AWS Fargate

Learn how the PGA TOUR built a novel ML-powered analytics model on AWS which provides real-time insights to its audience and creates an immersive viewing experience.

The PGA TOUR introduced Win, Cut Probability, a novel ML-powered analytics model that provides real-time insights into the likelihood of outcomes during tournaments. Powered by AWS, advanced data analytics, cloud infrastructure, and serverless services, the Win, Cut Probability model measures a player’s chances of advancing in and winning a tournament. Using Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) with AWS Fargate to run thousands of simulations and process nearly four billion records, the PGA TOUR can take advantage AWS’s elasticity, run their model quickly and scale as needed, while offloading the operational overhead of infrastructure management to AWS.

AWS Serverless helps us scale reliably week to week as we move from event to event. Each event brings its own set of complexities from size and scale, and what we need to do. Serverless really allows us the speed, the agility, and the reliability to do that each week.

    Formula 1® on AWS

    Formula 1 (F1), a global sports and entertainment spectacle, offers modern apps, games, and experiences to directly engage with its fans. But these products operated in silos with little near real-time (NRT) integration, so it was difficult for F1 to understand its fans and create great customer experiences. To unlock the full potential of its global fan base, F1 chose to build a technical infrastructure using tools from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Salesforce, an AWS Partner.
