And just when you think there couldn’t be any more legendary athletes featured in one spot, Serena Williams enters the scene to prove she will leave no pin standing.
  • Chapter two – the :30 spot titled “Caddy” – opens with Brooks Koepka, professional golfer and four-time Major Champion, as he surveys the bar options the same way he’d read a putt, before confidently selecting an ice cold Michelob ULTRA Organic Seltzer.
  • In the third and final chapter, global superstar Becky G. goes for the gold in a :30 spot called “Golden,” which will be airing in select markets including Houston, Dallas and Miami. The award-winning international singer says Michelob ULTRA Pure Gold, the first nationally distributed organic lager, is all the gold she needs.
