Capgemini and the Ryder Cup: The Perfect Approach

A momentous first step in the Capgemini golf story, our partnership with the prestigious Ryder Cup reflects our focus on building and celebrating talent, team spirit, and high performance – all of which are at the heart of both Capgemini and the Ryder Cup.

The opportunity to compete in the Ryder Cup is sought by every US and European golfer, and the 2023 competition in Rome was no different. To take home the trophy required relentless preparation, a sharp, steady focus, and mental resilience throughout this three-day event.

Like these extraordinary athletes, we know that transformative results require bold strategy, flawless execution, and the right partner. Before history is made at the Ryder Cup, before a transformation can happen, there is the work. The small steps in pursuit of perfection. Prepare. Visualize. Strategize.

It all adds up to The Perfect Approach.

The Perfect Approach

What it takes to transform history

Just as The Perfect Approach is custom to every business solution, it’s unique to every player as well. It’s in the way Steve Stricker relies on feel or how Edoardo Molinari uses data at the Ryder Cup. And it’s how Tania Tare found her hidden talent as a trick shot artist on TikTok and why Roger Sali teaches golf in the schools of Uganda…

The Perfect Approach is what we, at Capgemini, strive for every day. Whether delivering business transformation for a global company or creating innovative technology for the Ryder Cup, The Perfect Approach is everything.

Transforming through technology

Technology-powering performance

We help transform our clients’ businesses by unlocking the opportunities of technology.

For the Ryder Cup in Rome, we used technology to bring a data-first vision to the event. We gave fans the tools to witness real-time course and player insights. We provided assurance for IT services and empowering captains to make data-driven decisions impacting strategy.

All this to help transform the game and fan experience through the power of technology.

Outcome IQ

At the Ryder Cup, every shot matters. Outcome IQ powered by Capgemini estimates the probability of winning the hole, the day, and the match. Our tool, which sits on the Ryder Cup app, puts the intelligence of real-time data in the palm of every fan’s hand. It harnesses the precision of multiple inputs, from player performance to hole-specific characteristics and player pairings, to deliver insightful in-game analysis.

IT Governance

Capgemini provided the program assurance and project leadership to make the tournament technology successful. An event on the scale of 3.5 million viewers and over 200,000 on-site guests and players required an integrated system that is stable, secure, and strategically planned. Our world-class program managers oversaw the deployments and testing to ensure the quality of the infrastructure delivery – to power a flawless Ryder Cup experience for all fans of the game.

Captain’s Dashboard

To make great decisions, you need superior data and real-time analysis. We crafted a custom application to enable team leaders at the Ryder Cup to make live, data-driven decisions on the course.

The Captain’s Dashboard was used by the EU Captain and Vice Captains to optimize match pairings and team sequencing strategy to increase the likelihood of a perfect approach on every hole.

“The Captain’s Dashboard, that Capgemini and I worked closely on to develop, provided Luke with vital insights and information. Having the player performance dashboard available in mobile format enabled better collaboration and more effective team decision-making. This innovative tool is a great example of how technology and data can be used to achieve results.”
