Leading American golf competition organizer The PGA has announced the launch of a new mobile app for kids called the 'PGA Jr. League Safari Par-Tee.' The new interactive game will allow kids to create animal avatars before teaming up online to play golf and build their own imaginative 'Adventure Park Golf Course.'
According to the company, the goal with the new app is to introduce younger audiences to the sport by encouraging them to learn about the game's fundamental elements in a fun and playful way. The game has been developed in partnership with Trigger, a leading XR studio and creative agency.
"We’re excited to partner with the PGA in building this mobile app and to help them achieve their goal of engaging with youth golfers through gamification and augmented reality," said Trigger CEO and Creative Executive Director Jason Yim.
