Tiger Woods’ ex‑coach drops classic quote after fitter unknowingly makes bold claim against Zac Blair

One of the PGA Tour's most favorite golfers, Zac Blair, posted a video on his X (formerly known as Twitter) that quickly went viral and sparked conversations in the golf industry. Tiger Woods' former coach decided to jump in and offer his take on the matter.

Zac Blair posted a video of himself going undercover at a Golf Galaxy store for a driver fitting. The fitter not only did not recognize the PGA Tour star, but he also stated that the professional golfer needs to work on his technique. The former also claimed that he is better than Blair.

Tiger Woods' former coach Hank Haney had a simple yet bold statement as a response to the situation. Haney reposted the video with a caption that read (via X @HankHaney):

"Don’t judge a book by it’s cover."

Here's a look at Hank Haney's comments and Zac Blair's viral video of himself going undercover as a regular club golfer (via X @HankHaney):

The video quickly did rounds on social media, and some fans were baffled as to how a PGA Tour player was not recognized. However, Blair issued a small statement later on letting his fans and followers know that the video was not meant to hate on the Golf Galaxy fitter.

Zac Blair stated that he made the video to show how the majority of people would not recognize him, nor does he wish to be recognized. Here's what he had to say in response to the viral clip, which was later shared by NUCLR GOLF on X.

"I think it's important to make sure everyone knows this was never meant to goof on Nic from Golf Galaxy. On the contrary, it was just supposed to show how 99%+ would never recognize me or think that I golf professionally, and nor do I expect people to. It was all in good fun, and Nic was an awesome sport about the entire thing!"

After he ended up purchasing the driver, Blair extended a friendly hand out and offered the Golf Galaxy fitter tickets to this week's PGA Tour event at the iconic TPC Twin Cities where the former is playing the 2025 3M Open.
