This week is a first for Tour golf in Europe, with two main events going back-to-back at the same venue, and for the second week in a row the adjustable Zen Green Stage is in the tented village creating an unforgettable spectator experience.
This week’s NEXO Championship on the DP World Tour is taking place at Trump International Scotland in Aberdeenshire just four days after the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship was also hosted there.
At the Staysure event over 500 people took to the Zen Green Stage, getting the chance to experience the ability of the Zen to create a virtually limitless variety of breaking putts.
This week Zen has printed 1,000 special NEXO Putting Challenge scorecards with even larger crowds expected at Trump International as it hosts its first ever DP World Tour event.
Iconic US Open putts from Tiger Woods and Jon Rahm have been recreated for spectators to try in the NEXO tent, as well as Graeme McDowell’s crucial putt as the 2010 Ryder Cup reached its dramatic climax. Other famous putts by Tour superstars including Jack Nicklaus and Seve Ballesteros are also available for NEXO Championship visitors to try this week.
“The Zen brings a truly unique and world-class experience to golf tournaments” said Zen’s Andy Hiseman. “Anyone can putt, whether or not they are a golfer, so this week’s NEXO Famous Putts Challenge could not be more inclusive. We are delighted to do this on behalf of NEXO, and we expect a lot of emotions and excitement – plus hopefully some spectacular celebrations as these iconic putts go in!”
The Zen Green Stage can create billions of different sloping putts, including double breaks and sophisticated compound breaks, on its digitally-adjustable putting surface. Taking just seconds to move into position safely and accurately, it is the only technology in the world with this capability.
