Patrick Koenig, ECCO GOLF ambassador, today broke the world record for most 18-hole courses played in a single year by completing his 450th course<\/span> on the 18th hole this year.<\/p>\n

Koenig’s extraordinary journey, ‘The RGV Tour 2.0’, has been a monumental effort: he originally set a goal of playing a staggering 500 golf courses over a 365-day period, and is set to complete that tally before the end of the Tour in January.<\/p>\n

His passion and determination have now rewritten the record books, surpassing the previous record of 449 fields, set in 2009.<\/p>\n

Throughout the challenge, Koenig relied exclusively on ECCO GOLF shoes and took full advantage of the brand’s exceptional comfort and durability during the world record attempt. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Koenig commented, “There is no other golf shoe than ECCO that I would have preferred to play in on 450 golf courses. They are comfortable, perform exceptionally well and are designed to last. It’s the perfect recipe for achieving this world record.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Timo Vollrath, Global Marketing Director of ECCO GOLF, expressed his admiration for Koenig’s remarkable feat and commented: “We are very proud to have partnered with Patrick during his world record attempt. It is a great honor to support Patrick during a year in which he spent a lot of time in his golf shoes. <\/span><\/span>Huge congratulations to Patrick on this incredible achievement and we are thrilled that ECCO GOLF shoes completed the 450 course record with him!”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Koenig has documented his journey across the U.S. on his Instagram account, <\/span><\/span>which can be found here<\/span><\/span><\/a> , and on his dedicated website, <\/span><\/span>which can be found here.<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
