[Golf Topic] Park Seri vs AI Golfer 'Eldrick'... "Unique Match" View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Noo Rae] ○…Park Seri (43, photo) is set to face off against the AI (artificial intelligence) golfer 'Eldrick'...


On the 9th, SBS announced, "In January next year, we will broadcast the golf match between Park Seri and Eldrick in 'The Match of the Century! AI vs Human'." This is the second installment following the Go match between 9-dan Lee Sedol and AI player 'AlphaGo' four years ago. The events selected include long drive shots, hole-in-ones, and putting. Eldrick is an advanced form of a swing machine equipped with AI on a robot. Although it is difficult for it to complete all 18 holes and it breaks if it lands in a bunker, it possesses incredible specifications.



Its average drive shot distance exceeds 300 yards. It has a precision putting accuracy rate of 60% within 5 meters. It can replicate the 'stinger' shot of 'Golf Emperor' Tiger Woods as well as the shots of 'Hulk' Bryson DeChambeau (both from the USA). It independently reads wind strength and terrain. It reproduces human shoulder rotation and wrist movements exactly, delivering smooth and precise shots. It also holds a record of achieving a hole-in-one on a par 3 hole within five attempts.
