John Schneider (The Dukes of Hazzard, The Secret Life of the American Teenager) is set to star in Back Nine, a Spike TV pilot about a washed-up golf champ reduced to playing small-time tournaments to re-qualify for the PGA, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The character will have a sex-addict caddy named Tiger — a role that Spike execs say was created long before the recent Tiger Woods scandal.

I would say the show won’t escape the name of the caddy because nobody will believe it isn’t based on Woods. If they want the show to stand on its own, change the character’s name. hell, call him Spike. lol
