Beats hasn’t even announced Powerbeats Pro 2, much less released the second-gen wireless earphones. That’s not stopping what appears to be Powerbeats Pro 2 from being the unofficial headphone of the new TGL golf league. Several golfers have been spotted sporting a single Powerbeats Pro 2 earbud publicly in recent days.
TGL co-founders and pro golfers Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are among the athletes spotted with the unreleased Powerbeats Pro 2 earbud. In fact, the TGL home page is populated with tons of photos showing TGL golfers with the black earpiece with the Beats b logo in white.
You can also spot the Powerbeats Pro 2 appearance in recently uploaded shot recap videos from TGL:
This is no accident, of course, as Beats used a similar marketing formula with the redesigned Beats Pill before it was officially announced. Sporting a single earbud is a lot less subtle, but the product is getting plenty of airtime in front of golf fans.
The new hardware appears to be much more compact than the original Powerbeats Pro wireless headphones. We also expect Powerbeats Pro 2 to be the first headphones from Apple/Beats that include a heart rate sensor. Watch this space.
