This ominous Tiger Woods newspaper ad comes courtesy of the 1997 Washington Post archives during the paper’s coverage of the US Open.

If you cut off the top line of copy, everything becomes pretty close to the Tiger Woods we’ve come to know so well today, although I’m almost positive he still excels on par-fives, but then again I’m one of those golf viewers that only tunes in on the weekends in which he’s leading the field.

You may now feel free to picture Tiger going to town on that Perkins chick, green jacket and all.
