Driving precision: Creating a tech revolution at PGA Tour events
summary
PGA Tour moves from buried cable and five trucks to a cloud-native, staged rollout that doubles radars, adds 120+ 4K cameras, and shifts production to Ponte Vedra while testing wireless options (private 5G, microwave, LEO) alongside TrackMan and ShotLink integration on AWS. Course installs still use 15–25 miles of composite fiber but cut footprint and ops time, rely on batteries/propane for redundancy, and meet a seven-second SLA to remote endpoints with 500 ms off-course latency during live trials.
