Pin Seekerz and Callaway Team up to create ‘Europe’s Ultimate Golf League’

2.39pm 8th March 2016 - Corporate

PinSeekrz callawayGolf smartphone app, Pin Seekerz, has teamed up with Callaway to put golfers’ competitiveness and skill throughout Europe to the test, whilst offering incredible prizes over the course of three months.

Pin Seekerz believe that if you play golf, you should be able to compete against anyone in the world, anywhere in the world and earn a World Ranking just like the pros.

Building on this belief, the partnership with Callaway for an exclusive #TeamCallaway League on the app will take competitiveness to a whole new level, giving golfers in Europe the chance to compete against each other for prizes whilst also seeing how they compare with Pin Seekerz ambassador and Callaway Staffer Danny Willett.

Pin Seekerz uses a Stableford and bonus points scoring system making every aspect of your game matter more. And for the first time on the app, live leaderboards will also be introduced meaning golfers will see their ranking change throughout the hours, days, weeks and months based on their performance and performances of fellow golfers throughout Europe.

With weekly, monthly and special prizes on offer during the three months, everyone stands a chance to win Callaway merchandise including its latest XR 16 products.  The overall champion of the league will receive a full custom fit set of Callaway golf clubs and the prestige of beating all other golfers in Europe.

And just in case you were thinking ‘surely people will cheat’, Pin Seekerz encourages its users to adhere to the etiquette of the game and also uses GPS and score monitoring to flag any suspicious scores, so any offenders will automatically be excluded from the league.

To take part, all golfers have to do is:

1) Download the free Pin Seekerz app from the Apple or Google app stores.

2) Enter the league via the Pin Seekerz website (www.pinseekerz.com/teamcallaway ) where they will be granted the premium version of the app for free.

3) Enter their rounds of golf into the app.

4) Climb the rankings to win.

The #TeamCallaway League will run from Monday 14th March until Sunday 5th June on the Pin Seekerz app but golfers can sign up today.

World #11 Willett, said: “This app is great for the game and exactly what it needs to get more young people playing.”

Pin Seekerz Founder, Ben Hacker, said: “Pin Seekerz offers something completely different for golfers, the chance to compete against anyone in the world, whilst bringing a fun element to the game and getting more golfers to play golf.  This brand partnership for an exclusive league is a first for us and it’s brilliant that a global player like Callaway has come on board to help grow the Pin Seekerz community and having Danny Willett part of this as well just adds to the strength of the partnership.”

Nick McInally, Callaway Marketing Director, EMEA, said: “Callaway and Pin Seekerz are at the forefront of the digital golf revolution and this partnership for the #TeamCallaway League will allow us to engage and interact with some of the most avid golfers across Europe. Those competing will get the chance to win some of the great new products available from Europe’s #1 Golf Brand, so the incentive is there to go out, have fun and play some great golf.”
