Yup, that ridiculous looking dude is really Garth Brooks
Let me preface this by saying that by no means am I a Garth Brooks fan. My affinity for his music stops at “Friends in low places”, and I’m sure I will take some flak for just that. But do any of you remember way back in 1999 when good ol’ Garth came out with his alter ego persona Chris Gaines? Gaines was Brooks dressed up like a “rocker” with funky hair and a horrible soul patch under his lower lip. Brooks, excuse me Gaines, even released an album under that name which shockingly produced a Top 5 single.
But anyways, wouldn’t it be awesome if Tiger did something similar for his comeback? Some tournaments he plays as Tiger Woods, and others he plays as a completely different character with a name like “Jaguar Jones” or something ridiculous. He dresses different, maybe like Rickie Fowler or someone with flair. Sports a soul patch and maybe bleaches his hair again like he did that one time.
Having Tiger back in the golf world isn’t enough for me. I need him to do something ridiculous like this to keep it interesting. Be “regular Tiger” for The Masters, but then show up to The Players Championship rolling in a suped up Escalade with 20″ spinner rims and step out with bright orange pants, big huge shades, the soul patch and bleached hair, donning a fur coat to complete the ensemble. Basically, come out looking like the custom built players I used to make when playing EA Sports Tiger Woods Golf for Playstation. I think it will go a long way with fans and keep people tuning in. Not that they’ll need any other excuse to, but still. It would be cool.
I am glad that Tiger Woods is back playing. It makes the sport thrilling once more.
