In February, breakaway golf tour LIV Golf, backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, announced that Google Cloud would serve as a technology partner of the series and similarly to Formula E utilize its solutions to drive fan engagement and data analysis.

The parties claim the partnership will “help elevate the fan experience on and off the golf course and deliver personalized engagement unique to the sport.”

The 2024 Formula E season began on January 13 with Mexico’s Mexico City E-Prix and was followed up on January 26 by the Diriyah E-Prix in Saudi Arabia.

The Google Cloud partnership will be inaugurated on the third race of the season, the upcoming Sao Paolo E-Prix tomorrow (March 16).
