Mark Webber excited by the world class event
- Porsche Brand Ambassador #markwebber visits the #Porscheeuropeanopen – and is a “very happy man”.
- Leader’s Car in an exclusive livery driven to the venue by the designer #flemmingpinck and #markwebber.
- “It’s a real honour to be a part of the Porsche-style world class #Event.”
The former Endurance World Champion #markwebber is a first-time visitor to the #Porscheeuropeanopen in Hamburg – and enjoyed a special day involving #golf and an exclusive driving experience.
Stuttgart/Hamburg. Great thrills on the autobahn and the #golf course: #markwebber loves #Porsche and is a passionate golfer which is why his visit to the 2022 #Porscheeuropeanopen at the #greeneaglegolfcourses has made him, in his own words, “a very happy man”.
The #Porsche Brand Ambassador and former Endurance World Champion began the day with a drive behind the steering wheel of the #leaderscar. The specially designed #taycan4ssportturismo is available for the tournament leader for his journeys to the hotel and back to the course. Together with the designer #flemmingpinck, Webber brought the exclusive #Porsche from downtown Hamburg to the tournament venue and was in an excited mood on his arrival: “I’ve driven lots and lots of Porsches, but this one really is one to remember.”
The #leaderscar is a touch more exclusive this year. The Hamburg designer #flemmingpinck, himself a passionate golfer and #Porsche fan, based the livery of the Taycan #sport Turismo on the #Porsche Nord Course’s 18th hole. “I’ve never had a car that’s turned so many heads like this morning,” said Webber before adding: “The artistic approach on the already iconic sports car that the Taycan is makes it all the more spectacular.”
Also spectacular was Webber’s visit to the #Porsche World in the grounds. Putting in the #Porsche Public Hole-in-One, he sunk the ball from over 30 metres – the best preparation possible for the Pro-am tournament. In the afternoon, Webber went around the challenging #Porschenordcourse with the pro #maxkieffer, the former World Hockey Player of the Year #moritzfurste and the RTL television news presenter #peterkloppel. “I really enjoyed it. I’ve known Peter now for 30 years after getting to know him in my Formula 1 days. It was nice that we were able to play #golf together. I was a very happy man today and I was able to have a grand time with a few heroes.”
Webber, who has played #golf ever since the age of ten, was however not always satisfied with his game on the course. For the Australian, #golf is “the world’s most difficult sport”. He admires the world’s top golfers for their ability to concentrate whilst remaining relaxed, especially on such a tough course like the #Porschenordcourse. “It’s a real honour to be a part of the Porsche-style world class #Event.”
Porsche in golf
Porsche has been the title sponsor of the #Porscheeuropeanopen, a DP World Tour #Event, since 2015 and the automobile manufacturer expanded its involvement in professional #golf with automotive partnerships at tournaments on the Asian and the DP World Tour since 2019. #Porsche has also been organising the #Porsche #golf Cup for more than three decades. The tournament series is one of the company’s most successful customer Events. Held for the first time in Germany in 1988, the #Porsche #golf Cup has developed into an international #Event in which over 17,000 #Porsche customers recently took part in 261 worldwide qualifying tournaments. Also highly successful is the #Porsche #golf Circle, an international community for keen golf-playing #Porsche customers that was launched in 2017. The #Porsche #golf Circle now has about 4,000 members. Paul Casey has been complementing the #Porsche family as the first Brand Ambassador from the game of #golf since 2020.
