There are some athlete endorsements that just make you shake your head: Ray Lewis for Snuggies; Joe Montana for Skechers Shape Ups; Jim Furyk for 5 Hour Energy; Jimmy Johnson for Extenze (nevermind, that one makes sense.) But then there are the natural fits. Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods with Nike, John Daly with Hooters and now, Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston and Arby’s.

USA Today’s For The Win blog had the scoop.
And now he’s got a new sponsorship deal to show for it. It’s a rare foray from Arby’s into the business of sponsoring professional athletes, but starting at the PGA Championship next week, Beef will sport an Arby’s logo on the right side of his shirt and on the back of his hat.
Beef visited the company’s inaugural New York City location in Times Square on Saturday to discuss the Arby’s deal and more, and it must be said, he really is as hilarious as he seems.
Beef chronicled his day in NYC on his SnapChat, @beefpic, and the golf_snaps Instagram page shared it with the rest of the world.
