The 88th Masters tournament is set to take place from 11th-14th April at Augusta National Golf Club. The Masters has closely collaborated with IBM for over 25 years, accelerating their digital journey from design to data insights.

Successful implementation of IBM AI will accentuate the versatility of watsonx and its relevance across diverse industry use cases. This will solidify IBM’s dominance in the field of artificial intelligence and broaden its commercial horizon.
