Golf Boys PGA Tour


"My image, amongst some of the golfers, is slow golfer, nice guy," Crane told the PGA Tour.

After securing funding from Farmers Insurance, Crane convinced Watson, Fowler and Mahan to make it happen. The boy band is coming back," he proudly stated in May.

Farmers Insurance came on board through their involvement with Crane, a player they sponsor and who won the PGA Tour tournament they host in California last year.

"The proceeds will benefit charitable organizations designated by Farmers and Ben Crane,"said company vice president Mark Toohey.

The timing of Golf Boys' debut release, during the 111th U.S. Open at Congressional Country Club in Maryland, only added to the hype. Crane sports what looks like a cut-off wetsuit, while Fowler is resplendent in leather pants and an open leather jacket.

The video opens with the foursome in staged boy band pose, before the camera pans in on each of their faces in slow motion. Then the choreographed dancing kicks in, with the players mixing studio moves with coordinated routines on the golf course.

Quite what his role in Golf Boys will do to his appeal remains to be seen. While Crane's collective are clearly the first PGA Tour boy band, Golf Boys aren't the first professional golfers to try their hands at music.

It's surely only a matter of time before Golf Boys invite him along for a cameo.

"Crane has talked about the potential of future videos," admitted Toohey. And with that, it's off to watch his latest clip - "the making of Golf Boys". Oo-da-la-li-la-li.

There's dancing and jumpsuits and cries of "Oh na la lee la lee." Pro golfers Ben Crane, Hunter Mahan, Rickie Fowler and Bubba Watson are the "Golf Boys" - the PGA's best (and only) boy band. Funny?

PGA stars Ben Crane, Rickie Fowler, Hunter Mahan and Bubba Watson created a minor Youtube sensation when they made a music video to the song "Oh, Oh, Oh" as the golf boys.
