Masters Party Ceremonial First Putt

James came to our annual Masters Party on a rooftop bar in NYC. He was truly professional in all communication through e-mail and text and very upfront about hours/fees. He was a big hit as well as most of our friends had no idea that he was coming and thought that he was the real Tiger Woods. James also was interactive with our friends, took pictures and even participated in a ceremonial first putt in front of the crowd. We would love to have him next year!

Professional Impersonator

James was very professional, approachable and friendly. He owned the role and had many people believing he was the real Tiger Woods. He interacted with the guests, encouraged them to take part in our raffle, and was always available for a photo. It was fun to have him at the event.

Great Promotion!

James was a great addition to our booth at the Tullymore Classic in Canadian Lakes, Michigan. He brought attention, excitement and fun entertainment to our promotion. James was professional and the agreement was seamless and simple.
