Charley Barkley's infamous swing immortalized in Auburn golf tournament logo

October 17, 2016

Following Arnold Palmer's passing, fans took to social media to petition the PGA Tour to change its logo to a silhouette of the King. Auburn University apparently took notice, for the Tigers are paying respect to one of their own in a similar vein. Although we're sure the honoree doesn't see it as such.

For a charity tournament benefitting it's basketball program, Auburn released this logo of Charles Barkley and his infamous golf swing:

Barkley, whose swing is so broke that Hank Haney couldn't fix it, once said he'd build a statue to anyone who could remedy his game. While that prospect seems bleak, having your alma mater immortalize your, um, uniqueness isn't a bad consolation prize.
