Ben Crane's Golf Themed Music Video Approaches 2.3 Million Views

In less than 2 months, the Ben Crane video made with some fellow golfers, together collectively known as the Golf Boys, is approaching 2.3 Million YouTube Views.

Best thing is, Farmers Insurance, the sponsor of the video, is donating money to a collection of charities based upon the number of views, so keep watching.

Farmers Insurance Sponsors Ben Crane's Golf Parody Music Video for Charity


For some info on the story behind the video, including that red wet suit, read this article from the Kansas City Star: 'Golf Boys' video goes viral


Ben Crane recruited fellow Tour players and friends Rickie Fowler, Bubba Watson (winner of the 2011 Farmers Insurance Open and 2011 Zurich Classic of New Orleans) and Hunter Mahan to form this "boy band" and star in a music video that's "gone viral" to rave reviews on the internet. 

"The four PGA Tour stars have created the band Golf Boys and released their world premiere music video.  ...  Oh Oh Oh presented by Farmers Insurance premiered on the Golf Channel during their Live From the U.S. Open programming. It's also available on Ben Crane's YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/bencranegolf." 



"The PGA Tour is also featuring the video on PGATOUR.COM and promoting it through its presence on Facebook and Twitter. As part of Farmers support of Oh Oh Oh, Farmers will donate $1,000 for every 100,000 views of the Golf Boys video. The proceeds will support both Farmers and Ben Crane charitable initiatives in support of Farmers sponsorship of the Farmers Insurance Open. Crane has released a series of entertaining videos in 2010 and 2011, his most notable being a spoof on his workout routine which landed nearly 600,000 views on YouTube. Farmers Insurance and Ben Crane have a long-term relationship stemming from Crane' s victory at the 2010 Farmers Insurance Open, where it was also announced that Crane is a Farmers customer.

Following his victory at Torrey Pines, Crane partnered with Farmers and Farmers parent company, Zurich Financial Services, and wears the Zurich or Farmers logo on his hat, depending on the tournament. Through his relationship with Zurich, Crane also supports the St. Bernard Project, an organization dedicated to rebuilding New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. Farmers Insurance and Zurich are both partners of the PGA Tour. Farmers began its sponsorship of the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego in 2010 and Zurich has been a sponsor of the PGA Tour s Zurich Classic of New Orleans since 2005."
