If you ever wanted to feel like a professional golfer, you now have an opportunity to do so thanks to Troon and Crystal Cruises.
Troon, the world’s largest professional club management company, and the cruise line have teamed up to deliver the new Crystal Cup, where regular golfers have a chance to win a 29-night cruise from Singapore to Tokyo. Luke Donald, Team Europe's Ryder Cup captain, and LPGA star Lexi Thompson are joint ambassadors for the tournament and expect an unforgettable experience.
"I love to travel overseas through my job. It's important with my family, we do as much traveling when I'm not on the road playing golf and try to experience new places and a lot of different cultures," Donald told Fox News Digital. "It's nice to see that Crystal is getting involved in golf to create the Crystal Golf with Troon, and they're going to set up some events where regular golfers get to play some of the best courses in the world. That's always nice to try to grow the game that way."

"As golfers, we travel the world, but unfortunately, sometimes we don't get to experience it much," Thompson added. "So getting to partner up with them is an amazing experience for me. Hopefully many more great experiences to come with a company."
