MAHWAH, N.J., April 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Stryker Orthopaedics is pleased to announce its third tournament stop of 2017 at the RBC Heritage. During its first-ever appearance at the iconic golf course in Hilton Head Island, SC, Stryker will aim to enhance the golf fan experience by providing education on joint health, as well as the opportunity to learn about Stryker products and participate in interactive activities at The Mobility Zone.
At the tournament, Stryker will showcase its commitment to educate tournament goers about the importance of leading an active lifestyle and having healthy joints. Inside The Mobility Zone - the premiere destination designed to educate fans on the importance of joint health – fans can partake in the new Stryker Challenge – a hands-on experience featuring Art H.

In addition, fans who stop by The Mobility Zone will be able to enter for a chance to win a trip for two to Atlanta, GA for the TOUR Championship® and walk inside the ropes as an honorary observer – a true VIP experience.1,2
To further demonstrate its commitment to motivating fans to stay active, Stryker will host the Health Walk – a mile walk that highlights joint health facts and tips along the course to educate fans as they follow their favorite golfers.
"It's exciting for the team at Stryker to activate in Hilton Head, especially at one of the most historic golf courses," said Bill Huffnagle, President, Stryker's Joint Replacement Division. "Fans attending the RBC Heritage will be able to learn about the importance of staying active through activities we think they'll really enjoy at The Mobility Zone, as well as through our sponsored health walk located on the golf course."
