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.

Information on EQT AB’s financial reporting

Stake.com

The EQT AB Group has a long-term business model founded on a promise to its fund investors to invest capital, drive value creation and create consistent attractive returns over a 5 to 10-year horizon. The Group’s financial model is primarily affected by the size of its fee-generating assets under management, the performance of the EQT funds and its ability to recruit and retain top talent.

The Group operates in a market driven by long-term trends and thus believes quarterly financial statements are less relevant for investors. However, in order to provide the market with relevant and suitable information about the Group’s development, EQT publishes quarterly announcements with key operating numbers that are relevant for the business performance (taking Nasdaq’s guidance note for preparing interim management statements into consideration). In addition, a half-year report and a year-end report including financial statements and further information relevant for investors is published. Finally, EQT also publishes an annual report including sustainability reporting.
