Reimagining Sports Engagement

NFT Tech, USGA & Pebble Beach Company Unveil Interactive ArtBall NFTs for the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open

NFT Technologies Inc. (NEO: NFT | Frankfurt: 8LO | OTCQB: NFTFF) ("NFT Tech"), a pioneer in the technology driven solutions for the world's most cherished intellectual property, is pleased to announce its collaboration with the United States Golf Association (the “USGA”) and Pebble Beach Company to introduce an innovative and immersive fan engagement experience for the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links. This collaboration, representing the crossroads of sports and technology, brings forth the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open ArtBall - a gamified program that transcends traditional boundaries, keeping fans connected to the championship in ways never experienced before.

The ArtBall, a unique NFT concept, returns in a more immersive format this year. Fans will have the opportunity to claim an ArtBall uniquely linked to a designated area on and around the iconic 17th green at Pebble Beach. The gamified elements, revolving around these plots, will offer holders dynamic, shot-by-shot generated art, reflecting the ebb and flow of the championship.

The 2023 U.S. Women’s Open ArtBall harmonizes the rich legacy of the ArtBall with the illustrious history of the U.S. Women’s Open and Pebble Beach. It leverages data, gamification, and fantasy to not only spotlight player skills and the course's beauty but also to create a new, exciting engagement channel for golf fans.

With acclaimed artist Amy Goodchild on board, each ArtBall will evolve into unique golf ball artwork as NFTs, authenticated and secured on the blockchain. This marriage of sports data and generative art allows fans to 'Own the Ball' in an unprecedented fashion.

'Own the Shot' adds another layer to the fan experience. The art will visualize official championship data, presenting a novel way to engage with the most memorable shots of the 2023 U.S. Women’s Open.

Additionally, fans will have the opportunity to 'Own the Moment.' Each ArtBall, corresponding to a specific area of the legendary 17th Hole at Pebble Beach, will dynamically update in real-time in response to pivotal moments from the championship as they unfold.

This collaboration aims to transform the way fans experience golf, converting passive spectators into active participants. At NFT Tech, we are thrilled to bring this innovative concept to life and look forward to seeing how fans engage with the championship in a whole new way.

This 2023 U.S. Women’s Open ArtBall is accessible to all via a virtual experience for mobile and desktop, where fans can explore the 17th Hole at Pebble Beach, stroke data replays and all the gamified competitions in real time. Want to play along? The U.S. Women’s Open ArtBall will be limited to 3,010 unique golf balls/ plot locations as a free offering (excluding Ethereum/ transaction costs).
