GOLF+ to feature Jumeirah Golf Estates in VR
GOLF+, the premier virtual reality (VR) golf game on the Meta Quest platform, has announced a new partnership with the DP World Tour and Dubai Golf to integrate the renowned Earth Course at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai into its VR environment.
This collaboration allows GOLF+ users to virtually experience the Earth Course, known for its challenging layout and scenic beauty, including its signature final holes. The course is intricately recreated to offer a lifelike experience, replicating the atmosphere of the DP World Tour Championship, the season finale of the tour.
This initiative highlights the commitment of the DP World Tour and Dubai Golf to leverage cutting-edge technology to make golf more accessible and enhance its appeal to a broader audience. Fans can now explore the same courses played by top professionals during one of the tour’s major events, deepening their engagement with the sport.
Already recognized as the Official VR Golf Game of the PGA TOUR, GOLF+ continues to broaden its scope by adding the Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course, emphasizing its dedication to providing immersive global golf experiences.
Ryan Engle, CEO and Co-founder of GOLF+, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to partner with the DP World Tour and bring the Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth Course to our platform. Our goal is to make golf more accessible, and this partnership aligns with our mission to offer unique and comprehensive golf experiences worldwide.”
Richard Bunn, Chief Revenue and Content Officer at the DP World Tour, commented on the collaboration, “We are excited to work with GOLF+ to introduce the Earth Course to a new generation of golfers through VR. This is a great way to engage both avid golfers and those new to the sport, allowing them to virtually experience one of our most iconic courses.”
