Tiger Woods and his putter - 10.2.2007.2

In a bit of light conversation, has anyone seen the latest commercial by Accenture? It’s a rare thing these days when I notice a commercial that causes me to write about it and I’m not upset. This one qualifies.

If you haven’t seen it yet, Tiger Woods has just putted a birdie from 3 feet in an unnamed tournament. The green is a peninsula surrounded by water, and the caddie is standing by the water’s edge. After Tiger sinks the putt, the caddie bumps the golf clubs and knocks them in to the water. As Tiger and his caddie look into the water at the sunken golf bag, clubs no where in sight, a crocodile swims up and groans. The next scene, we see tiger coming to the 18th hole to drive and his caddie hands him his putter. Tiger proceeds to drive, to the cheers of the crowd.

Maybe it’s because I love golf (been playing for over a decade now) but I just had to laugh in watching this commercial. It’s fun and a compliment to the fact that this one man is arguably the greatest golfer ever.

Look for the commercial and let me know what you think of it.
