Oh, so golfers are supposed to be tough guys, too? (2013)

The ad people at EA Sports have gone from the ridiculous (MLB The Show 13) to the sublime with their ad campaign for their PGA 14 video game. To paraphrase ESPN's Kenny Mayne, the timing of this commercial amuses me. This showed up on YouTube not long after Tiger Woods won the Arnold Palmer-hosted tour event at Bay Hill for an 8th time on Monday.

So what do we have here? Woods & Palmer en route to somewhere, intercepted by a bunch of thugs coveting their trophies. Never mind the Mr. T wannabe near the end of the clip. I don't think T himself would've signed on for this even in his heyday 30 years ago.

This audition for Tiger as an action hero comes from EA's YouTube channel:



Geez, I never realized Lee Trevino was so short.........
