The Open Championship - NTT DATA Services

Driving Data Further

NTT DATA has served as an Official Patron and IT Provider for The Open since the 142nd edition in 2013 at Scotland’s Muirfield Golf Links. In 2015 at Royal Liverpool, NTT DATA introduced the world’s oldest golf tournament to a major technological innovation for fan engagement with the NTT DATA Wall in Spectator Village.

The NTT DATA Wall revolutionized the spectator experience with a massive interactive LED display that features the live TV broadcast along with a host of compelling statistics, trends and 3D visuals that are delivered to fans in real time. The wall added artificial intelligence technology in 2019 at Royal Portrush to showcase the ability to read and share the emotions of both players and fans throughout the tournament.

The Open For The Ages

With The Open being cancelled for 2020 as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic, NTT DATA collaborated with The R&A for the creation of an innovative virtual tournament featuring an all-star roster of golf’s Open winners from the past 50 years. “The Open For The Ages,” with the setting being the historical Old Course at St. Andrews, features greats from different eras competing against each other virtually in their prime. NTT DATA played a key role in providing the technology that would determine the winner of this virtual major.
