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.

To learn more about how the PGA TOUR was able to drive these outcomes, read this blog.

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.

White House Historical Association Case Study

The White House Historical Association (WHHA) works to make history more accessible through its digitized archives and White House Experience Mobile App. Its three tour options include one for virtual visitors of the White House, another for people in Washington, DC who are exploring the surrounding White House neighborhood, and a third that serves as a companion tour for those visiting the White House in person. The White House Companion Tour features a room-by-room guide along with information about where visitors should meet for the tour. The mobile app will also include a "Presidential Look-Alike" feature, powered by Amazon Rekognition, through which users can take a selfie to find out which president or first lady they most resemble. WHHA President Stewart McLaurin describes how AWS supports that mission and these initiatives. By using the AWS Cloud, this smaller nonprofit can expand its reach across the globe.
