Why did Butch Harmon label Tiger Woods an arrogant pr**k?

The legendary golf instructor Butch Harmon is probably the most famous name in the golfing world. And during a live chat with his son Claude Harmon, he said Tiger Woods is an arrogant pr**k.

“You’ve got to have a lot of pr**k in you,” revealed Harmon. “Be that kind of a guy when you walk between the ropes. Tiger’s definitely that way. Guys like him just want to cut your heart out,” said Butch. However, he says they will go to dinner later on, or they will have a beer afterward and joke. But when it comes to the game inside, Tiger is serious.  

Butch believes even Jack Nicklaus had a similar attitude, and this kind of arrogance is what makes these players great. Furthermore, he revealed the two golfers who he believes have this kind of attitude currently. 

“DJ is so laid back, but when he walks between the ropes, he changes, and Brooks is the same way,” says Harmon. Notably, his son Claude Harmon has coached both Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka and has helped them immensely in their career.
