What do you think of the new Tiger Woods Nike commercial?
It’s filmed in black and white, and the advert has the bizarre quality of a dream. Tiger appears upset, and the slow zooming of the camera is punctuated with flashes of light – hinting at the frantic clicking of the media’s cameras.
The commercial is being applauded by some as a brilliant marketing strategy, while others said the ad is in poor taste. The ad is the first shot since the revelations of Tiger’s affairs and was released on the eve of his comeback at the U.S. Masters at Augusta, Georgia.
A Nike spokesman said the new commercial portrays the ongoing influence Earl has on his son’s life. ’We support Tiger and his family as he returns to competitive golf,’ Derek Kent said. ’The ad addresses his time away from the game using the powerful words of his father.’
Earl Woods has been described by his son as his ‘best friend and greatest role model’. But Tiger was following in his philandering father’s footsteps when he cheated on his wife, it was recently claimed.
The golfer was said to have been ‘devastated’ when he learned that Earl was unfaithful to his mother, Tida.
‘He would just call crying and say, “My dad is with another woman”,‘ said Tiger’s first girlfriend, Dina Parr, 34, who dated him in secondary school. ‘He would be so upset, so I just tried to be there for him.’
‘I don’t have doubts there were others,’ said Barbara Gray, who had three children with Earl before he left her. Unfortunately another woman has been added to Tiger’s list of mistresses as well.
