Usually when a professional tour player picks up an endorsement deal, it is for golf clubs, clothing, or equipment. At other times, he or she will endorse financial services or some other product commonly seen on commercials during golf telecasts.

Three-time PGA Tour winner (all this season!) Jimmy Walker just snared an endorsement deal with... Celestron Telescopes.



His photographs have been featured on NASA's prestigious Astronomy Photo of the Day blog and featured in a variety of astronomy and science periodicals. But now, the manufacturer of Walker's 14-inch scope is hoping to capitalize on his increasing fame and popularity in golf.

The deal was announced last week at the PGA Tour's annual Los Angeles stop at Riviera Country Club. The company even had a booth located on the 14th hole at Riviera for golf spectators to learn more about their products (and hopefully gain additional customers!). The company has even created a Jimmy Walker portal on their web site.

After capturing three victories this season, getting invited to the Masters, vaulting up the OWGR, and now picking up a sweet telescope endorsement deal, for Jimmy Walker right now, life is...

DY-NO-MIIIITE!!!
