Hole Insights
IBM watsonx Unlocking the mysteries of Augusta National IBM uses watsonx to manage the entire lifecycle of generative AI models that instantly reveal the risks and rewards for every shot on every hole at the Masters. The moment a shot comes to rest, the x, y, and z coordinates are captured, compared against years of historical data, and a Hole Insight is generated in the Masters app. The data curation, training and ongoing governance of the AI model is all managed on the IBM watsonx data and AI platform.

AI Narration
 IBM watsonx Giving the action a voice More than 20,000 video clips in the Masters app are narrated —in both English and Spanish—by a generative AI model that's trained to speak the specific language of this tournament. A sand trap is a “bunker.” The rough is the “second cut.” And golf fans are “patrons.” To ensure the accuracy and reliability of AI Narration throughout the tournament, the AI model is monitored by watsonx.governance.  Learn about data governance for data-driven organizations Learn more about the capabilities of watsonx.ai
