Troy Hawke's video of welcoming and waving goodbyes to the golfers at the 2023 Genesis Scottish Open went viral on the internet. The comedian greeted players acting as dapper door greeters.

Hawke is best known for his unique greetings in Scotland and this time he traveled to The Resistance Club to greet the golfers.

The PGA Tour shared a short clip in which Hawke was welcoming the players in his unique style.

As the Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy entered, Hawke said:

"Welcome to the Genesis Scottish Open, Sir."

As McIlroy responded with a "Thank You," the comedian went on to say:

"You're like a plucky hero from an animal-based Disney adventure."

McIlroy again thanked him and moved on.

Troy Hawke then remarked on Sahith Theegala's brows, saying:

"You've got the best eyebrows, I've seen in all of my time. Punctuation for the face."

The golfer replied:

"Can you tell my girlfriend that?"

Hawke agreed and said:

"Oh all day, I will. "

Hawke then continued with his job as a greeter, and as other golfers entered, he said to one:

"You are one detectable slice of cheesecake."
"You have an admirable Northern grit, but you slink like Bowie", he greeted another golfer.

As Tom Kim entered, the comedian said:

"You have a wonderful natural posture on you. Shoulders are all the way back. "

Kim complemented the comedian by saying:

"I like your moustache."
"Cheekbones to die for, Sir. Honestly, you could slice meat to the millimeter on those things," Troy said to Max Homa.
