VIDEO: Tiger attacks from the sandtrap with a Buick Ranier
Buick really scored a hole in one when they signed Tiger Woods to be the company spokesperson. Although not exactly the demographic, Buick's historical ties with the PGA make it a great marketing move.
This video starts with Tiger looking for his "lost" wedge. As each group on the tee finds it, he asks if they want to bet on who can hit the ball closest to the hole... for a Buick Rainier. As the foursomes play through, Tiger eventually gives away four of the Buick SUV's to the stunned golfers that beat him.
Buick couldn't have made a better deal than to have Tiger sell their cars. especially with all of the news, both good and bad, recently surrounding him. He continues to win, got married, lost his father and will now become one himself this summer. As Buick works hard to lower the average age of their buyer from the late baby-boomers they currently attract, furthering this relationship should be their ace in the hole.

I am over 50 and looking very carefully the Lucerne and the Enclave. Maybe not exactly the 30-40s but way less than the 65-70 of the recent years.
I like Tiger and the ads. He has a nice personality and is cheerful.

I doubt Tiger drives a Buick but I must admit, that man has personality.

brilliant advertisment! It works... People who see this (and are not complete car buffs) will think positively about the brand. Good call from the agency.

Hey #2...you're obviously not a golfer. Not everyone that golfs is wealthy...trust me...I'm certainly not and neither are any of my friends.
Great video...great marketing. Heck..I would just liked to have played a hole with Tiger!

I'm a car guy and I don't view GM products very favorably, but this marketing worked on me. I smiled through almost the whole video.
