Rory McIlroy on his annoying Omega watch ad: I ‘turn it off’

Not even Rory McIlroy can stop that Omega watch ad from blaring The Script’s “Hall of Fame” during seemingly every commercial break during golf.

So he does the next best thing.

“(I) turn it off. I’ve seen it too many times,” McIlroy said of the spot starring him on Thursday at the Deutsche Bank Championship.

The ad in question features McIlroy hitting a golf ball and flexing his golf muscle in Dubai. While McIlroy is doing this, the refrain of The Script’s “Hall of Fame” plays. It’s been on all the time for the last two years. In fact, Omega, which sponsors the PGA of America, loved the ad so much that they decided not to shoot a new 2015 ad.

McIlroy believes a new ad is coming someday, but that this one could be salvaged.

“I’m sure I will (shoot a new ad),” McIlroy said. “I’m not sure when. But I think that one went quite well for them, that’s why we didn’t have to shoot another one this year. If they could just change the music that would help.”
