VIDEO: Tiger Woods’ Japanese Heat Rub Ad

by Sean Keeley

On paper, Tiger Woods’ return to the world of endorsement deals sounded kinda sad. I’m sure Kowa is a fantastic heat rub product but, you know.

↵As anyone who’s ever seen this Japanese Arnold Schwarzenegger commercial can attest, it could have been much, much worse.
