‘Return of the Mack’ is back, as the golf brand, TaylorMade, teased its new Christmas video with a photo a few days before launching it. The Big Cat, Tiger Woods, returns as Santa Claus to oversee his elves and check his naughty and nice list twice.
TaylorMade’s PGA Tour, LPGA staff Christmas video puts all of golf into the holiday spirit
Tiger Woods Claus is back with his TaylorMade elves as they work hard in the workshop to prep holiday gifts.
“He’s making a list. Checking it twice. Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice. Mac Daddy Santa Claus is coming to town. Merry Christmas from #TeamTaylorMade.” TaylorMade wrote on the video.
Woods, of course, is wearing those epic sunglasses. Decked out in his entire Santa look, he nods and plays it cool. Throughout the video, he’s checking off his list and making sure the elves are on task.
Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa are all dressed as elves, making toys and wrapping gifts. Joining the guys were Nelly Korda, Brooke Henderson, and Charley Hull, who also helped out in Santa’s workshop.
This video is hilarious. Fans need to watch it more than once because each time, there is more to catch.
McIlroy is hammering messages on TaylorMade wedges.
Henderson is boxing up TP5 golf balls and passing them to Morikawa. who struggles to make the presents look pretty, relating to those who can’t quite nail gift-wrapping. After his A-for-effort attempt at putting wrapping paper on a rectangle, Hull takes it and slides the gift into Santa’s bag.
Scheffler, looking disgruntled, tightened the driver’s head before passing off the club to Korda, who put a bow on it to make it more festive.
Then there is Fleetwood, who might be the best part of this video. He pays homage to the classic Christmas movie Elf, opening Jack in the Boxes and getting scared.
TaylorMade also appeared to throw in a dig at two well-known golf reporters on the naughty list. Those playful instances are what makes this video special. It gets people talking and into the holiday spirit.
