Serena Williams has developed a reputation for brilliance throughout her career. It shouldn't come as a surprise that she is working with Michelob ULTRA once again for their most recent Super Bowl LVII ad.
Williams and Emmy Award-winning actor Brian Cox will compete amicably on the golf course in the New Members Day promo, emphasizing how golf permeates popular culture.
“Michelob ULTRA has made a commitment to increasing the visibility of women in sports, and I feel like this year is just another example of them putting their money where their mouth is,” said Williams.
“In fact, they made a $100 million commitment a couple of years ago to do that. So it's super cool to have the exact number of male and female athletes represented in the ad.” told Williams.
The celebrity-studded promo highlights how golf is becoming a more popular sport while also illuminating how golf culture is becoming more diverse and inclusive.
“I think golf is definitely changing to be more inclusive and more fun, there's a younger culture and it's about energetic fans, and inclusive communities, and younger, diverse faces." Exclaimed Williams.
Williams says the chance to film alongside other athletes was a pleasure because she doesn't get to do it very often. The tennis champion is eager to include more golf in her lifestyle, even if she is a pro at tennis.
“I definitely am looking forward to doing more golf,” Williams said. ”I definitely want to do more golf, if only for the outfits. I don't expect to be the world's greatest golfer, but I definitely want to do more of it.” said Williams.
