Trey Pezzetti (PGA Tour) & Dylan Hattem

In the fast-paced world of sports, keeping fans engaged with timely and personalized content is crucial. But how can organizations scale their content creation without compromising quality? In this podcast, we dive into the innovative approach taken by Trey Pezzetti, the product lead at the PGA Tour, who is harnessing the power of AI to revolutionize content creation. We’ll explore how AI-driven systems are creating over 1,600 pieces of content per tournament, ensuring that every player has a voice, and enhancing the overall fan experience. The PGA Tour features 156 players competing over four days, generating a staggering 30,000 shots each week. This creates a monumental challenge for content teams to cover every player adequately. As Trey Pezzetti explains, while the editorial team excels at covering top storylines and human interest pieces, it’s nearly impossible to provide in-depth coverage for every player without overwhelming resources. Fans crave personalized content about their favorite players. Traditionally, this would require a significant investment in human resources, which isn’t feasible. By leveraging AI, the PGA Tour has developed a system that automates content creation, allowing them to provide tailored content for fans based on their preferences. The content automation system generates various types of content, including round recaps and tournament summaries for every player. This system not only ensures that fans get the information they want but also frees up the editorial team to focus on more significant stories that can drive engagement. Implementing AI isn’t just about increasing content volume; it’s also about driving business value. Trey emphasizes that AI helps the PGA Tour to maintain accurate and timely content, which is crucial for their reputation. For example, when AI generates a statistic about a player’s performance, it’s essential that this information is 100% accurate. Despite the automation, human oversight remains critical. The editorial team is involved in creating content formats and ensuring that all information aligns with the PGA Tour's style guide. This collaboration ensures that while AI handles the heavy lifting of content generation, the human touch remains evident in the storytelling and creativity of the final output. With the Favorite Player Hub, users can select their favorite players and receive personalized updates and content. This feature exemplifies how AI can enhance the fan experience by making it easier for them to engage with the content that matters most to them. Looking ahead, Trey is excited about ongoing experiments with AI, such as automated quality assurance systems that ensure the accuracy of live data presented to fans. These systems will allow teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than mundane tasks, thus enhancing overall productivity. By automating routine checks and balances, the PGA Tour’s teams can dedicate more time to creative and strategic projects. This shift not only improves efficiency but also raises the baseline for what the team can achieve, allowing them to meet the increasing demands of fans. The PGA Tour’s innovative use of AI in content creation demonstrates a significant shift in how sports organizations can engage with their audiences. By automating content generation, they are not only enhancing the fan experience but also ensuring accuracy and efficiency in their operations. As the sports industry continues to evolve, embracing technology like AI will be crucial in meeting the demands of modern fans.

Olukoya Davis (VEVO) & Dylan Hattem

What happens when you stop selling—and start thinking like a marketer? In this episode, we sit down with Olukoya Davis, a seasoned sales leader with over two decades of experience, to unpack how a marketing mindset can fundamentally change the way you approach sales. We get into the idea of reverse engineering outcomes—starting with what the client actually needs and working backward to position value in a way that lands. Olukoya breaks down why deeply understanding your audience isn’t optional anymore, and how the best salespeople operate with context, not just a pitch. We also explore why so many brands struggle to show up in culture. The pressure for short-term wins often leads to shallow engagement, while real impact comes from long-term contribution and relevance. That shift—from transactions to relationships—is where modern sales is headed. Finally, we talk about what still matters: curiosity, preparation, and the ability to build genuine relationships. The tools may evolve, but the fundamentals haven’t changed—they’ve just expanded. If you’re in sales, marketing, or anywhere in between, this is a conversation about how to operate with more intention—and ultimately, more effectiveness. Key themes: * Thinking like a marketer in a sales role * Reverse engineering client outcomes * Cultural relevance vs. short-term wins * Relationship-building as a growth strategy * The role of curiosity in modern sales
