Aon and PGA TOUR evolve partnership to increase use of real-time analytics and highlight how decision-making drives performance
The ‘Aon Next 10’ and ‘Aon Swing 5’ eligibility paths highlight enhanced drama as players compete for the chance to earn Signature Event starts
Aon’s ‘Better Decisions Breakdowns’ to deliver more frequent, real-time insights in-broadcast
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. and DUBLIN, Dec. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The PGA TOUR today announced that its partnership with Aon, a leading global professional services firm, will integrate the use of real-time analytics and capitalize on changes to the TOUR’s reimagined 2024 schedule to create more drama and insights for fans.
First, Aon will headline the Aon Next 10 and the Aon Swing 5, which recognize better decision-making and the elite performance required to earn access into in-season Signature Events. Second, key elements of the award-winning Aon Risk Reward Challenge program will evolve to “Better Decision Breakdowns” segments that use emerging technology to provide real-time analysis of player decisions.
Aon Next 10 and Aon Swing 5
At the beginning of the season, the first 50 spots in each Signature Event field are set based on prior year FedExCup standings. To help complete the Signature Event fields, there are two new programs that will give players the opportunity to compete head-to-head against the PGA TOUR’s best.
- Aon Next 10: The top 10 players, not already exempt, from the FedExCup standings.
- Aon Swing 5: Top five FedExCup points earners, not already exempt, from the swings of Full-Field Events leading up to each Signature Event.
“We view the Aon Next 10 and Aon Swing 5 as an opportunity to further innovate around our reimagined schedule,” said Tyler Dennis, PGA TOUR Chief Competitions Officer. “Further defining these paths has provided the best players in the world more opportunities to go head-to-head, engaging fans in new ways and creating additional consequence in our Full-Field Events.”
Broadcast integrations highlighting these paths will provide fans a real-time understanding of what is at stake at each Full-Field Event as players compete for spots in Signature Events.
“Aon is committed to continuous innovation on behalf of clients and partners, and that mindset extends to our sports marketing strategy,” said Andy Weitz, Chief Marketing Officer at Aon. “These new programs are designed to further enhance the fan experience by offering insights into how players make real-time decisions on the course and how those better decisions translate into opportunities to compete at the highest level on the PGA TOUR.”
Better Decision Breakdown
“Better Decision Breakdown” segments will provide fans a window into how the best players in the world make better decisions when it matters most. Leveraging new technology, production teams will be able to deliver real-time insights including strokes gained analysis, model-based shot dispersion, accuracy depictions, expected outcomes and more.
“We could not be more excited to have Aon woven into our reimagined schedule, which creates consistent excitement for our fans,” said Brian Oliver, PGA TOUR Executive Vice President of Corporate Partnerships. “Aon’s innovative approach to partnership will bring new real-time insights into each broadcast and create more engagement opportunities for fans as they track the performance of their favorite players.”
The enhancements are part of the next evolution of Aon’s partnership with the PGA TOUR, which began in 2019 with the Aon Risk Reward Challenge, a season-long competition across the PGA TOUR and LPGA Tour that highlights golf’s best strategic decision makers. The Aon Risk Reward Challenge will continue on the LPGA Tour, where winners will receive the Aon Trophy and the $1 million dollar prize.
Weitz added, “We’re grateful to our partners at the TOUR, CBS and NBC, as well as global partners like Sky Sports that leverage the international broadcast feed, for their leadership in exploring new ways that we can bring more real-time analytics and compelling storytelling to the live broadcast.”

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to announce it’s among the first to be granted consent to a full authorization by the Astana Financial Service Authority (AFSA). This milestone brings Bybit closer to becoming a fully regulated Digital Asset Trading Facility (DATF).
As part of a rigorous process, Bybit Kazakhstan has passed a full AML check, business conduct audit, and detailed compliance inspections. This is part of Bybit’s focus on securing new user opportunities in Kazakhstan and the broader Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) region.
“Kazakhstan has become a key player in the global crypto ecosystem, and we are thrilled to be expanding our services in such a dynamic market,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We are committed to bringing our cutting-edge technology, security, and transparency to crypto traders in Kazakhstan, ensuring they can access the best possible tools and services to thrive in this fast-growing industry.”
Once the full license is in place, Bybit Kazakhstan will offer various digital assets related products and services. The expansion into Kazakhstan aligns with Bybit’s mission to provide reliable and transparent services, catering to the unique needs of crypto traders and investors in the region.
This development follows Bybit’s receipt of its initial operating and custody licenses from AFSA in June 2023, reinforcing its commitment to local regulatory requirements. Bybit’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its presence in Kazakhstan underscore its belief in responsible growth and ensuring a compliant and secure trading environment.
Kazakhstan has quickly emerged as a hub for crypto innovation, and Bybit is proud to play a leading role in fostering this development. For example, Bybit hosted a “Foundations of Blockchain, Web3 and Crypto Exchange Activities” course for Banks of Kazakhstan in 2024. This event was part of Bybit’s drive to make blockchain education more accessible in the CIS region.
By securing this full authorization, Bybit is poised to enhance crypto adoption, provide institutional-grade security, and offer advanced trading features to its growing regional user base.

Integrum ESG and CSRHub enable fund managers to monitor both long-term trends and short-term movements in ESG ratings for companies, across a 10-year time series
LONDON, Sept. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Integrum ESG, the leading alternative ESG data provider, has today announced the launch of their Consensus ESG Ratings module.
Just as investors monitor movements in consensus earnings estimates or credit ratings, investors now are aware of the demand for the ability to monitor long-term trends and short-term movements in consensus ESG ratings.
This new feature enables Integrum ESG’s asset manager clients to now see the consensus ESG score for any company, either as an absolute rating or a relative percentile ranking, across a 10-year time series.
These scores will indicate to any investor what the capital markets have ‘priced in’ for a company’s ESG performance, allowing users to quickly understand the market’s view on a company and easily conduct relative ESG analysis on the positions they hold within their Portfolio.
This regularly updated data is provided by CSRHub, the world’s leading provider of consensus ESG ratings. CSRHub has spent years aggregating and normalising a vast range of licensed sources – from large ESG ratings firms such as MSCI, ISS, S&P Global, and Sustainalytics to specialists such as CDP and Better World Companies.
Shai Hill, Founder and CEO of Integrum ESG, commented: “Many investors have told us they want a sense of ‘what is priced in’ in terms of a company’s ESG performance, so they can compare this to what anyone ESG ratings firm is saying. CSRHub is the only firm to have credibly achieved this, thanks to a model refined over years and a vast data lake – so we are delighted to be partnering with them.”
Bahar Gidwani, Co-Founder of CSRHub, added: “Investors need to fine tune their ESG-related investment strategies to improve their returns and better match the preferences of their clients. Combining CSRHub’s expert outside-in, consensus view of ESG with Integrum ESG’s detailed real-time data stream provides a strong solution for these needs.”
About Integrum ESG
Integrum ESG is the leading alternative ESG data and ratings platform for investors, blending human analysis and award-winning artificial intelligence models to capture, verify and display granular and relevant ESG data for analysis and assessment. Their Platform allows clients to dissect ESG scores, real-time sentiment, and more with a variety of unique-to-market features, empowering industry professionals and investors and giving them complete oversight of ESG risk across their portfolio.
