Digital Legends, LLC, Est. August 2018

ERA IS NO
LONGER A
BARRIER.

Where we are going

Humans Compete with Avatars.

AI can replicate almost anything, except the human moment that created it. A computer did not win the 1948 US Open at Riviera. Ben Hogan did. That human achievement is the most valuable IP in sports, and it can now be authenticated, digitized, and kept in play.

Next: living athletes as always on digital platforms, competing, teaching, and appearing across simulators, headsets, consoles, and live events, worldwide.
