Case Study: Disc Golf Pro Tour achieves reliable, high-quality live streaming with AWS Elemental

Streaming 8–10 Hours of Professional Disc Golf Competition per Event Day Using AWS with DGPT

Disc Golf Pro Tour, the professional disc golf organization behind the Disc Golf Network, needed a more stable and scalable streaming setup as its events and viewership grew. Its previous streaming partner couldn’t keep up with feature requests, reliable live playback, instant recordings, or consistent broadcast quality, and outages in remote venues were hurting the viewer experience and brand.

AWS Elemental helped Disc Golf Pro Tour move its control room and streaming operations to AWS, creating a more reliable cloud-based live production workflow. The result was over 30 events streamed in the 2024 season, 8–10 hours of high-quality live content per event day, near-zero outages despite limited connectivity, and support for three subscriber tiers instead of one.
