In 2008, IBM and the United States Golf Association relaunched USOPEN.com with the goal of bringing the action of the U.S. Open to golf fans. In 2009, we made the web-site even better. USOPEN.com will feature a video console that will let fans follow their favorite players in near-HD quality. Fans also will be able to use the enhanced console to chat with each other, track the marquee group players and stay on top of all the action with a real-time leaderboard.

With live blogging, user-generated content and a USOPEN.com widget with scores, news, photos and video highlights, golf fans will be able to experience the U.S. Open like never before.

Over the past 49 years, IBM has extended its business and infrastructure solutions into entertainment and professional sports. And for the last two years, IBM has partnered with the USGA. Through this partnership, IBM brings its business and technology expertise, innovation and client focus to the USGA and golf's national championship.

IBM looks forward to collaborating with the USGA beyond the 2009 U.S. Open Championship as the USGA strives to strengthen the game of golf to meet the needs of their members, member clubs and business partners.

Watch how IBM is helping bring fans closer to the game.
