2008 marks the first year of the partnership between the USGA and IBM. With the goal of bringing the action of the U.S. Open to fans, and a firm commitment to innovation, IBM and the USGA have re-launched usopen.com. This new Championship website will provide golf fans with unprecedented access to content (live and on-demand) and live scoring, as well as expand the reach of the Championship.
Over the past 48 years, IBM has extended its business and infrastructure solutions into entertainment and professional sports. Through this partnership, IBM will bring its business and technology expertise, innovation and client focus to the USGA and the national championship of golf.
IBM looks forward to collaborating with USGA beyond the 2008 U.S.Open Championship as the USGA strives to meet the needs of their members, member clubs and business partners and help strengthen the game of golf.
