This is a press release

Bridgestone Golf, the #1 Ball-Fitter in Golf, announced today the new e6 golf ball will be the official choice of PopStroke. A partnership between TGR, Tiger Woods Ventures and PopStroke Entertainment Group, PopStroke is a family-oriented, hi-tech putting entertainment business. With two current locations in Port St. Lucie and Fort Myers, Florida, and many more to come, PopStroke provides a combination of golf, technology and casual dining. Each new PopStroke location will feature putting courses designed by Tiger Woods’ TGR Design.

As the #1 Ball-Fitter in Golf, Bridgestone takes pride in matching players to the right ball. Accordingly, all PopStroke customers will play and then take home Bridgestone’s new e6, which features a lower compression core and exceptionally soft feel. Tiger himself fits into Bridgestone’s TOUR B XS model, which will be available for purchase at all PopStroke locations, including three new spots scheduled to open in 2021 in Orlando, Palm Beach, and Scottsdale, Arizona.

“I’ve trusted Bridgestone to manufacture my golf ball for the better part of 20 years,” said Tiger. “I place an extremely high value on quality and consistency in my equipment so the new e6 is a natural choice for this venture.”

PopStroke offers more than an entertainment venue that combines golf with premium food and drink; this premium experience is also an opportunity to introduce new players to the game in an environment that is welcoming and fun for everyone. Dan Murphy, President and CEO of Bridgestone Golf, comments, “This is an exciting initiative to be a part of for Bridgestone. Tiger has had a positive effect on the game of golf in so many ways and his ability to attract new players to the sport is incomparable. We’re very pleased that our new e6 golf ball will be enjoyed by every PopStroke customer.”

PopStroke Founder Greg Bartoli is also excited about the partnership, commenting,

“PopStroke offers an unparalleled putting and entertainment experience. We are excited to partner with Bridgestone as we continue to enhance the guest experience at PopStroke by offering all of our players the opportunity to play on a Tiger designed putting course with the same brand of golf ball Tiger plays on Tour.”

In regard to PopStroke’s potential to welcome new players into the game, Tiger adds, “Some of my happiest memories are spending time with my pops on the golf course having putting contests, and now I do the same with my kids. I look forward to others enjoying time with their families at PopStroke. This is a new way for individuals to experience the game of golf. It’s about bringing people together.”
 
Looking forward to see where they expand to and love that Bridgestone is going to be a part of it.
 
So its a mini golf version of top golf? That sounds really awesome and a huge potential to expand into other areas/states if not alread, as well as bring young kids into the sport
 
I dig it!
 
This sounds awesome & I love that Bridgestone is going to be a part of it.

This was my first thought too. Hope its not as expensive haha
 
I don't remember ever hearing about Popstroke before but it sounds like it could be a lot of fun. It seems like a solid move for Bridgestone, especially if Popstroke expands.
 
Never heard of PopStroke, but this could be cool.

I'm just glad to see Bridgestone doing something

I don't think kids drink as much as adults at TG
 
I have been wondering how much space a Popstroke would need and if you could fit it indoors. We have a mall with a major anchor that closed and a Popstroke would be interesting there and it would make sense to be indoors in the Northeast where it could be used year round.
 
Really cool. Not familiar with PopStroke, but will be reading up on them now!
 
The photo on the website looks more like an actual golf course instead of a mini putt, putt-putt, or goofy golf. There aren't any windmills.:cry: It doesn't look like it will fit inside a building unless it was something like a Bass Pro Shop that closed.<-- I could be WAY off on that guesstimate.:eek:
 
had to look up Popstroke, looks like a cool venue. Fan of the Bridgestone tour line, seems like a smart partnership
 
I like the sound of this and kudos to Bridgestone for being a part of it.
 
"Putting courses designed by TGR and Tiger Woods"......With drinking and dining....

 
Ok no joke had this as a business plan that i used for a high school small business project! Mini golf, food, drinks, golf partnerships!

Awesome that Bridgestone continues to support "Growing the Game"
 
Looks like an upscale version of putt-putt golf with dining!
 
This sounds like a great partnership, I can't wait to see what they build it out into
 
I like the partnership, and PopStroke sounds like it would be a fun thing. I don't see them as a direct competitor with TopGolf since they're two different things, but a nice complement to it.
 
Looks like this idea just got some legs.

I just came to post this. Has anyone been to one yet? what did you think? Since we're getting two locations in PHX metro (both next door to a TopGolf) I'm sure I'll be trying them out at some point once open.
