Faculty Live: Data and Analytics in Golf (and Sports and Business) with Professor Mark Broadie

Since the publication of the book Moneyball, analytics has played an increasingly important role in many sports. In this talk, Professor Broadie will describe the use of data and analytics in golf (Is "Drive for show putt for dough" really true?) and their influence on players, media coverage and bettors. Professor Broadie will show how ideas from golf analytics are applicable in other sports and in business.

Professor Mark Broadie currently teaches the elective courses Security Pricing: Models and Computation, Computational Finance, and Programming for Business Research. He is an Academic Advisory Board Member for the Program for Financial Studies. His research interests include the pricing of derivative securities, risk management and, more generally, quantitative methods for decision-making under uncertainty.
