U.S. Open 2013: Tiger Woods Stars In USGA Funny Commercial About Pace Of Play As Major Set To Begin At Merion (VIDEO)

Jun 12, 2013 12:09 PM EDT

Tiger Woods is not always known for his sense of humor on the golf course, but in a new video from the USGA about pace of play, the number one golfer in the world shows off his funny side.

The video is humorous in nature and shows Tiger Woods looking down at a putt and lining up as dramatic music plays. After a little bit more time setting up, just as he is about to putt, he is interrupted by a kid behind him inn a group of four waiting to go, revealing that it's at a miniature golf course. The kid says to Tiger to hurry up, saying "Hey, while we're young," and another kid then adds "he thinks he's at a major."

The video plays on a moment from the legendary golf movie Caddyshack and a line by Rodney Dangerfield and Woods adds in the comic's signature, "no respect" at the end of the ad.

Says Golf.com: "But the USGA is joining forces with Al ("Wang!!") for its new slow-play initiative and is borrowing one of Czervik's famous lines for its campaign. No, it's not, "Did you get a bowl of soup with that hat?" The USGA slow-play campaign is going with, "While we're young," which Czervik utters in disgust while watching Ted Knight's Judge Smails character go through an interminable pre-shot routine."
