How Rickie Fowler is ‘Giving Back’ to Golf Through Virtual Reality

Imagine what it would be like to lace up your golf shoes and head out on the course. And before you know it, you are greeted by World No.6 Rickie Fowler decked out in his Sunday orange ready to tee off with you.

Certainly, this must be a daydream that you are having.

Oh, it’s far from that. Fowler, by teaming up with Success Series, has harnessed the power to be with you on a golf course anytime you want through his coaching series in virtual reality.

Fowler is passionate about giving back to the game that has treated him so well in his 29 years of life. He continually works with organizations like The First Tee or the Boys & Girls Club of America, to teach the next generation through the game of golf.

And as much as Fowler would like to be at every event possible, it just can’t be done. Instead of going to thousands of youth clinics a year, Fowler can bring the coaching experience right to your living room through virtual reality.

“Ultimately, I want the kids growing up to try and be better than I am,” Fowler told Success Series.

When you enter his Success Series, you are greeted by Fowler right at the first tee as he shows you his three simple steps to driving the ball 15 yards farther while maintaining pinpoint accuracy. From there you will be coached be Rickie in all aspects of the game, join him on the driving range, and even take a ride in the golf cart with him.

It’s obvious that Rickie loves the game of golf and the fans who go as far as to dress like him when he plays in tournaments. It’s flattering but also sends a message that he has done his job by being a positive ambassador for PGA Tour, and golf in general.
