Warner Bros. Games and Playdemic Partner With Professional Golfer Bryson DeChambeau To Create New Custom Content for “Golf Clash”
(Burbank, CA) – Warner Bros. Games and Playdemic today announced a partnership with professional golfer and winner of the 2020 U.S. Open Championship, Bryson DeChambeau, to bring new, custom content to the hit mobile videogame, Golf Clash.
Available today through June 21, DeChambeau’s strength off the tee will be personified through Bryson’s Power Play Challenge, a personalized closest-to-the-pin style competition based on the popular Golden Shot feature in Golf Clash. This new challenge gives participants a chance to win the official Bryson Ball by hitting a hole-in-one in standard mode or by winning any chest in hard mode. As the longest driver on the PGA Tour, DeChambeau’s bespoke golf ball features a combination of powerful attributes to match his physical prowess on the course and prominently displays his autograph and silhouette logo, complete with his signature golf cap. This limited time in-game item will be available for purchase from June 15-18 to use throughout the Golf Clash experience with no expiration.
From June 17-20, players can compete for ultimate bragging rights in the Bryson DeChambeau 9-Hole Cup, a condensed three-day tournament with two qualifying rounds, followed by one final round. For competitors looking to polish their skills before, during or after the event, practice mode for the tournament is available today through June 20 in Golf Clash.
“I’m a big fan of videogames so it’s awesome to have my own content in Golf Clash,” said Bryson DeChambeau. “Whether I’m playing at home or on the road, Golf Clash really brings out my inner scientist, and I love how you can incorporate so many different strategies with a huge variety of balls and clubs. I’m excited to see fans try out my Power Play Challenge on the virtual course this week!”
“We’re excited to bring on champion golfer Bryson DeChambeau as our latest ambassador for Golf Clash and share his signature content with our community,” said Paul Gouge, CEO, Playdemic. “The new Bryson Ball, Power Play Challenge and personalized 9-Hole Cup feature Bryson’s unique style and stature on the course, while providing new ways for players to experience Golf Clash.”
DeChambeau is an eight time winner on the PGA Tour, including one major championship at the 2020 U.S. Open. He currently sits at No. 5 in the World Golf Rankings and No. 1 in driving distance on the PGA Tour. The partnership with DeChambeau follows recent Golf Clash collaborations with professional golfer Bubba Watson, the Ryder Cup, Open Championship, NASCAR and UFC.
Golf Clash is the No. 1 grossing sports mobile game in the US and UK with more than 90 million downloads globally to date. Since its launch, the game has been honored with numerous industry awards, including winner of the BAFTA Games Mobile Game of the Year (2018), Mobile Games Awards Game of the Year (2018), PocketGamer.biz Game of the Year (2017) and The Independent Game Developers' Association (TIGA) Awards Game of the Year (2017).
