Satire - Even Tommy Armour III won’t sign with Tommy Armour

Tommy Armour Golf's notoriety has been on a gradual downslide since the days the 845 was a tour favorite. It's gotten so bad that the brand can't even sign Tommy Armour himself. After the release of the Hywood, the equipment company decided to make one last ditch effort to sign their main man. Although the deal guaranteed him nearly double what he gets now, TAIII didn't take the bait. He said his game is somewhat unstable as it is, and using second-rate equipment may make it worse. When the equipment company pointed out that the deal wouldn't require TAIII to use Armour equipment, just where the hat, TAIII responded by saying, "None the less...I still don't want to be associated with that sort of underperformance." He also mentioned that it doesn't make sense selling out to a lesser quality company for more money at this point in his career.

Bravo to Tommy Armour for leading the stand against unsatisfactory equipment. He receives the Green Blazer Keepin it Real Award '07
