Tiger Endorses Butch?

[brocks]

I just saw an ad on TGC for a Butch Harmon DVD, and it features Tiger saying what a great instructor Butch is. I'm guessing it's a clip from ten years or more ago, when Butch was working with Tiger, but there's no way to tell. Assuming it actually is ten years old, and in view of the controversy over Haney's ethics, I'm just wondering what people think of Butch doing this. Isn't it kind of like Tiger using clips of Elin saying how wonderful he is, taken shortly after their honeymoon, on his Match.com page?

You can't say for certain whether or not its 10 years old? I mean tiger has got to look a lot different 10 years ago.

That is a low blow, and has nothing to do with golf.

But I am forced to admit it is pretty funny.

The difference between this and Haney is that Tiger willingly put himself in front of a camera at one point and said these things himself. There was no reasonable assumption of privacy.

It's not the most upstanding thing in the world but if you're going to buy the DVD you likely know Tiger hasn't worked with Butch for a decade or so.

Tiger fans can't tell the difference? Oh please, the guy's aged 10 years since 2008 appearancewise.

Well I doubt this would be on the air if the ad was for for hank haney.
