Tiger, we are more prone to be inquisitive. To promote discussion. And these golf clubs.

We want to find out what your thinking was when you took your deceased father’s voice out of context in a transparent ploy to restore your lucrative nice-guy image. We want to find out what your feelings are about this selection of milled-face, high-MOI Nike IC Putters (somehow, we assume you’d advise people to buy them). And did you learn anything?

We’d say you’ve learned a thing or two about marketing, anyway. That strained look of remorse on your face? Bravo from the gallery! That was at least a double-eagle. So what if some say it’s manipulative? Who cares about the ethical issues of using quotes from someone who can’t object, for a purpose that would make him roll over in his grave? As long as it helps sell more IC Putters, what’s the harm?

Golfers will enjoy the benefits of enhanced accuracy and a strategically specialized Winn putter grip. Then there’s the fact that the whole putter is green except for the white face, making it easier for the player’s eyes to focus on the point of contact. With a putter this great, it’d almost be selfish not to try to sell more of them.

And Nike and Woot will rake in a few extra bucks. You’ll seem like a guy who’s grappling honestly and sympathetically with his inner demons, on the road back into the public’s heart. Everybody wins.

Especially you, once the endorsement spigot opens back up and the dollars start flowing again. Hey, who knows? This masterful performance might even launch your acting career. Of course, you could always just concentrate on playing golf. We seem to remember you’re pretty good at that. Honestly.
