Hurley: Anti-Spieth spoof video was caddie's idea
LOS ANGELES – In this age of polarizing politics, Billy Hurley III took the contention out of his campaign for chairman of the player advisory council and made some fans in the process.
Hurley – who was pitted against Jordan Spieth in the PAC election – posted a “campaign” video on his Twitter account this week. It was a light-hearted take on negative advertising in which he says Spieth is “disgusting” and that he “can’t relate” to the common man. The video went viral, with 683,000 views as of late Wednesday afternoon.
“It was my caddie’s idea. I told him I was running and in about 12 seconds he goes, we have to do a campaign video,” Hurley said.
