OMG is that for real? I can not believe that Tiger would approve of that...
I personally find it very distasteful

Actually I take it differently. I take it as his dad discussing it with him and showing his disappointment in his son....I don't mind the commercial.

My take on it is he is dragging the memory of his father, who by all accounts was an outstanding individual, into the same cesspool he's been wallowing in.

I think it's crazy for Nike to use him at all. Whenever I see his face it's never a pleasant thought. I wouldn't want that connected with my product.
All I can think is "You stupid, stupid, STUPID man".

Tiger is just trying to put this behind him, and get back to what he does -- play golf. Personally I don't care what he does in his personal life, as long as it's something that's not illegal like doing drugs or murdering someone. It's really no one's business but his and his family's, period. I respect him as an athlete and what he can do on a golf course.
I actually think the ad is powerful. The words you hear from his father are the one's I'm sure he'd say if he still were alive. The only difference is you WOULD see a black eye and busted lip on Tiger from getting his butt kicked from his father. I actually think the death of his father is one of the reason's he did what he did. Tiger's father was the world to him. I was actually surprised he came back to golf when he did after his father died. Reports were he was seriously considering about quitting the game, but his mother and other family members talked him out of it. Guess that decison backfired, and will haunt him for the rest of his career.

if memory serves me correctly, his father DID do the same thing. Not on the same scale, BUT still.
I think its a home run for Nike. Tiger is back, they have to endorse him ....lets hit this head on. AND everyone is talking about it.

I was never a big woods fan cause I don't follow golf. When his crap came out it was mildly amusing because the spoiled punk found out the hard way Norweigen women's second instinct was to call a lawyer and instead she issued a little 9 iron justice, at least what I think happened anyway. Other than that I figure hey, could have been worse, like Michael Jackson worse so no big deal.
With this he is just trying to use the incident to market himself. Stupid move. He should have just kept going as he was and slowly worked his way back into the spotlight marketing wise.

He's lost a lot of money but he is still worth A LOT of money and he will pick up sponsors (maybe Trojan and Astroglide will sign him) again one of these days. I can't watch the video from work so will have to check it out when I get home. I still admire his golfing ability but I think he is a doosh as a person. I will never believe anything that comes out of his mouth ever again.

They guy cheated. He didn't beat her, he didn't kill anyone, he didn't do illegal drugs. He cheated....
50% of the population has cheated on someone at some point in their lives. Get over it.

I don't care that he cheated.... but he was stupid enough to do something that messed with his money maker... his image.
I'm not saying his Satan for what he did. I'm saying he's STUPID for what he did.
I have no idea Meowy.... he very well could be. I haven't read anything about it lately.
