Bubba Watson is known on the golf course as the PGA Tour’s leading distance driver. But on Twitter, Bubba’s known as a professional athlete dedicated to fan engagement. Just look at his number of tweets on twitter.com/bubbawatson, which have surpassed 9,000 in two months.

So when Bubba was looking for a golfer to play a round with him in a charity tournament, Birdies for the Brave, he turned to his friends on Twitter.

On December 8, Bubba extended the offer to play a round with him in a tweet that read “I need a 4th Fri morn for Birdies for the Brave tourny! It’s starts at 8:00 then we shutgun at 10:00. Who wants to play?”

Hundreds of followers made their case to play with the PGA Tour golfer in 140 characters, and one lucky follower, @ShaneBacon, was selected–all via Twitter.
