Fireball makes its golf debut with a custom jacket made to pay homage, and add a little spice, to a time-honored ritual
NEW ORLEANS, March 20, 2023- There's a new 'Ball in golf' – Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, that is – and it's giving "birdie shot" a whole new meaning. Already a staple on the course with golfers looking to add some fun to their game, Fireball is teeing off the 2023 golf season by infusing a more playful spirit into the centuries-old game and existing tournaments.
Fireball has a unique offer for badge holders and golf enthusiasts willing to bring some [cinnamon] spice to the fairway – the whisky brand will give 10 fans $1,000 to wear its custom, tournament-inspired Fireball Red Jackets in Augusta, GA. The lucky 10 can rock them on the first nine, the second nine and everywhere in between - Fireball just wants to see red on the green.
"When it comes to golf not everyone is destined to wear green, that's an honor held for a select few," said global brand director for Fireball, Danny Suich. "A Fireball Red Jacket, however, comes with something that is arguably more important than honor, it comes with a license to unapologetically enjoy the game, however you choose to play it. We know 'birdie juice' is already a frequent participant in many rounds and Fireball's Red Jackets are our homage to that."
Legend has it that one of golf's more iconic jackets (one that's synonymous with a certain April tournament) originated from captains overseas wearing red jackets. Is it a coincidence that red just happens to be Fireball's signature color? We think not, and this year Fireball is doing something about it.
The exclusive Fireball Red Jackets feature:
- Green liner: A sleek, bespoke liner is a nod to the green on which the game is played.
- Custom Fireball patch: It wouldn't be a respectable jacket for this occasion without a premium dragon-donned patch.
- Monogrammed Buttons: Brass buttons on the jackets, inspired by the color of our delicious cinnamon whisky, boast a custom engraved Fireball logo for a sophisticated touch.
- Inside Pocket: While inside pockets aren't special to our jackets, ours is made to hold a Fireball mini-shooter, making it clearly superior to all others.
- Pin: Each jacket ups the class factor even more by including a Fireball pin to wear on the lapels.
- Inside patch: With only 10 Fireball Red Jackets ever made, a custom signature patch inside the jacket allows owners to claim their coat - and Fireball - for the rest of time.
- Bonus: Even though phones aren't allowed where the Fireball Red Jackets are going, the vibrant color guarantees that wearers will be easy to spot on TV… and the course.
