Buick Marketing Director Maria Rohrer unveiled the finished work at the annual Buick media luncheon in New York City on the eve of the International Auto Show in New York. Tiger teed off just a few feet in front of white canvasses and his golf balls exploded to create a kaleidoscopic master-stroke (pun intended) of modern art. The finished canvases, reminiscent of Jackson Pollock's work, were autographed by Tiger and will be available to bid at auction during Buick's annual charity event this June. "Tiger Art" is a radically different medium for Buick and Tiger Woods as they continue their philanthropic initiatives, helping children and adults in communities nationwide.
