The U.S. Open is nearly upon us, so that means it’s time for a new Tiger Woods Nike commercial, right?
With the resurgence of Woods’ game has certainly come the resurgence of his fame, as the world’s No. 1 ranked golfer was also ranked No. 1 among highest-paid professional athletes by Forbes for the first time in years. So, despite a deal with golf’s other primetime star at the moment, Rory McIlroy, Woods is still Nike’s top golf pitchman.
Woods’ newest Nike ad appears to be inspired by a quote from the golfer, “I treat golf as a sport. I let other people treat it like a hobby.” And, indeed, the theme of the ad seems to be that golf is just another sport, as some of Woods’ highlights are superimposed against moments from baseball, boxing and track and field.
Check it out in the video below.
