Langer, who has been a dominant figure in golf for more than four decades, was surprised and pleased with the exceptional artistry of the custom vehicle. Meanwhile, Rahm, who is currently the second-ranked player in the world, was grateful to be part of the exceptional project alongside his fellow golfer.
Bettina Fetzer, the Head of Communication & Marketing at Mercedes-Benz AG, stated that the brand wanted to celebrate the remarkable accomplishments and victories of both Langer and Rahm, while also wishing them all the best at the showdown in Augusta.
Obetz was thrilled to use a vehicle as a canvas for his art and expressed pride in what they have achieved together.
