'Beef' Johnston scores Arby's sponsorship, serves up sandwiches

Nike, Mercedes-Benz, Rolex, NetJets, Arby's: just some of the distinguished brands represented on golf's pro circuits.

Andrew "Beef" Johnston, a budding cult hero, added the aforementioned hot sandwich chain to that list with a freshly inked sponsorship agreement, the company announced to For the Win.

As part of the deal, "Beef" - who earned that moniker as a child because his hair apparently looked like red meat - will wear an Arby's logo on his hat and shirt at next week's PGA Championship.

But Johnston decided to take it a step further, volunteering to serve up some sandwiches Saturday when he visited the flagship restaurant in New York City.

"I've ordered enough burgers in my life," Johnston said, "about time I try handing them out for a change."
