WATCH: Keith Mitchell and Harris English take on a unique glow-in-the-dark challenge
PGA Tour players Keith Mitchell and Harris English competed in a unique glow-in-the-dark challenge sponsored by BMW. The challenge consisted of executing golf shots to hit three targets located at different distances that glowed in the dark.
The promotional video was posted by the PGA Tour on its official X account and received more than 39,000 views in less than an hour. The full video of the challenge was posted on BMW's official YouTube channel.
To complete the challenge, Harris English and Keith Mitchell had to hit three targets at 55 yards, 85 yards and 125 yards respectively. The targets glowed in the dark and changed color when the ball hit them directly. If the ball hit the target after rolling across the course, the shot was invalid.
English was the first to hit the 55-yard target with only his second shot, although Mitchell imitated him soon after. English was again the first to hit the 85-yard target.
Mitchell levelled the competition again by hitting the second target before English hit the third. English, however, managed to hit the target from 125 yards out to win the challenge.
BMW is heavily involved in professional golf. It is the title sponsor of the BMW Championship on the PGA Tour, the BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour and the BMW Ladies Championship on the LPGA Tour.
