AI-Powered Video Search: IBM's Masters Case Study

IBM and the Masters have shown how sports AI can work as a real product rather than a toy. The tournament's digital services now include search across 50+ years of archives and an updated Hole Insights feature, which explains the significance of each shot as the round unfolds. The platform analyzes video, commentary, and precise ball coordinates so viewers can find the moments they want faster and better understand the game.

IBM has launched Masters Vault Search, an AI tool for searching the tournament's video archives. Fans can find clips from 50 years of Masters final rounds using plain conversational queries instead of manually scrubbing through footage by date.

How does the AI video search work?

Masters Vault Search takes a user's conversational query and automatically finds relevant moments in an archive spanning more than 50 years, then explains what each shot means in the context of the round.
