Florida Gators mascot Albert the Gator plays a key role in the creative, as Rahm’s golf ball lands in the ESPN breakroom, coincidently right near Albert. Does Rahm play the ball or take the drop?
“You never know what obstacles you might face on any given day at ESPN,” said Seth Ader, Vice President of Brand Marketing at ESPN. “One day you can grab your cup of joe with ease, and the next, Albert the Gator stands in your way.”
Hazard was developed in collaboration with Arts & Letters Creative Co.
Rahm is the second athlete to be featured in a This is SportsCenter spot in 2024, shortly following UFC flyweight Brandon Moreno, who starred in Elevator in March. The iconic campaign returned in 2023.
