* Leather, rub­ber, EVA

Nike Golf Ad — Earl Woods on Tiger

Tru­ly an amaz­ing ath­lete of our time.

YouTube Preview Image

This ad just came out at the right time and place. What a remark­able game for both Tiger Woods and Roc­co Medi­ate. I per­son­al­ly had a hard time pulling for one of them to win it all as both were great peeps. Damn, what a sto­ry… like a real time, under­dog movie. But each were an “under­dog” to them­selves, as that was their biggest neme­sis. Oh man… what a crazy, life­time event.

PS. Check out this arti­cle writ­ten by ESP­N’s Gene Woj­ciechows­ki, Golf comes up aces: Tiger, Roc­co save world of sports. You don’t have to be a Golf fan, or Sports fan… just human.
