03/03/21: The PGA TOUR unveiled a deal with Amazon Web Services

 

Medias First Morning Read

 

Wednesday March 3, 2021

The PGA TOUR partnered with Amazon Web Services as it looks to “modernize the way golf content is created and distributed” via a slate of AWS services will be utilized to simplify content delivery, create new digital experiences, and provide enhanced access to archived broadcast footage and highlights. Deal points will see the company serve as the Official Cloud Provider of the PGA TOUR, and nearly 100 years of content will now be accessible to help the TOUR and its media partners enhance its broadcast and digital content. In addition, AWS will become a Trustee of First Tee, a youth development organization.

“Growing and diversifying our fan base is a top priority for us,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan, “and thanks to the collaboration and innovation from AWS, people will have more ways than ever to experience the game of golf, while personalizing our content to engage with the tournaments and players they support.”
