Double Masters winner Bubba Watson is determined to add a lime green coloured golf ball to his pink collection he will take into this week’s Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.

Watson has ditched the long-time traditional white golf ball after having signed a multi-million dollar deal to use the South Korean Volvik S4 4-piece golf ball.

“Why should we worry about the colour of a golf ball as we’ve all be playing with coloured golf balls our whole life,” said Watson ahead of this week’s 2017 opening event on the PGA Tour.

“For me, it was all about finding a golf ball I liked and as I get older I have to get more consistent off the tee and with my irons so that I can have better scores

“But then when you look at it from the other standpoint of growing the game of golf, why not have fun with it.

Buibb Watson begins 2017 using a pink coloured Volvik golf ball.

“Volvik has already done that as they have made a tour coloured golf ball, so why would you not want to use a coloured ball and try and grow the game.

“For me, it’s easy doing this in trying to make the game easier for the kids.”

And after the USGA recently approved the Volvik pink coloured ball the Florida-based Watson is now awaiting the New Jersey-based ruling body approving the vivid lime green coloured ball.

“The American version is the ‘blue pearl’ but I call it a ‘pink sparkle’ and while there is a white one out there named the ‘blue pearl’ but I just got the pink one this week with USGA approval, so I have been testing that for the last couple of days,” he said.

“But if there is a lime green golf ball that can be approved then I will switch it up so that one day I will choose one colour and another day, choose an opposite colour.

“I just want to have fun with it so much so that all the kids will see it and enjoy playing with it, and hopefully play better.”
