Watch | American golfer gets unique tribute with 24,000 golf balls
More than 24,000 golf balls on tees have been arranged at a downtown Dallas park in a unique hometown tribute to American star golfer Jordan Spieth.
Dallas-based AT&T Inc. on Wednesday displayed the mosaic of the 22-year-old who was voted PGA Tour player of the year for 2015, winning five tournaments and reaching No. 1 in the world. Spieth earned just over $12 million, a PGA Tour record.
For the tribute, crews on Sunday started laying out the project, using balls on tees and artificial turf. The image shows Spieth wearing a cap and appearing to watch his shot off his backswing.
Only a year ago Spieth's relationship with AT&T was expanded to include its logo on his golf bag. He closed out 2014 by winning the Australian Open and the Hero World Challenge.
