if memory serves correct, Tiger's Dad passed away a few weeks before Father's Day that year. When I saw this commercial for the first time, i cried soooo hard. Nike did a wonderful tribute for Tiger.

Ive done my share of sins that i wouldn't want people to know about, therefore i will not bash tiger woods about this, nor would i even if I was perfect.
Funny how people can focus one bad thing that someone has done and ignore the good.
Tiger has donated more money to charities than all of us put together, he has his own learning centers that he funds, has brought a fan base to the pga, and inspired many kids including myself to take up the game at a young age instead of gettin into trouble
its the American way. Sad but true. People are slowly starting to realize whats important and that they really don't care about any of these types of scandlas though.
@walkman123456789 Thats all very well said and I agree with you. However the thing about you is that your not going around presenting yourself as this perfect clean cut parent-friendly guy. And I for one do not buy the sex addiction story. How many of us here have brothers and sisters from another mother?,,,,does that make your farther a sex addict??
Im tired of people pissing on my boots and telling me its rain drops.
This should not be about morals and ethics of two men. And if you disagree because you think you're perfect, then feel free to cast the first stone. Meanwhile, what we need to focus on is the love a son has for his father. That's the point of this video. And what you may (or may not) think of Tiger pales in comparison to the love he has for his father. It's very heartfelt.
How sweet. Most likely if his father was still here, none of the problems would have happened. Yes, Tiger is grown, but the loss of his father/mentor/confidante had a tremendous impact. That would cause anyone to lose focus or be led astray. His father would be just as proud of him anyway. His mother is saddened, but she still is going to back him up. I do not think she expects perfection from him. But I am sure she taught him to take responsibility for his actions, as he has done.
If responsibility for your actions means going on a cruise with your boys after you fucked aroiund on your wife, then I guess he's taking responsibility
...and by the way his Dad did the same thing to his Mom....nothing racist about it....it is what it is!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't know what religion his father raised him with, but he obviously taught him ghetto style....collect aS MANY WHITE BLONDE BITCHES AS YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not condoning what he did but the last time i checked Divorce rate is highest in US than any other part of the world. Surprise anyone? so WTF with holier than thou attitude abt.
Earl, I know that you know these 3 skanks are just the tip of the iceberg. And that your son has acted not at all like you raised him since your passing.
But please tap Jesus on the shoulder up there and ask him to help stop all of this horrible sinning that your son is involved in.
Do it for the children who idolize him and buy gatorade and nike's because he told them to, and they want to be like thier hero...
Earl did a hell of a job raising tiger. Lets not forget people we are all human and we all make mistakes. I dont agree with what he did and im not saying we should give him a pass because he's a celebrity but lets not be so quick to judge each other. We as people do stupid things sometimes and tiger did a stupid thing but I believe he and his family will get through this and we will once again praise him for the excellent athlete and man his father raised him to be. R.I.P. Earl.
It is a shame Earl wasn't around longer for Tiger. I think in Tiger's mind...Earl's was the only other person on the planet who was bigger than he is. Earl wouldn't be happy at all right now and probably would have given Tiger that kick in the pants he needs. But Tiger is still awesome and made some HUGE mistakes...time to focus on trying to save the family even though that may be impossible.
I have a great dad who spent time with me in little league and now on the golf course. What is better than being on the tee box with dad 67, me 41, and my son 8 looking down the fairway. One remembering the past, one living the present, and the other dreaming of the future. Thanks dads. May all of us get a giant hug on the 18th green someday.
What a great video. I remember watching this the weekend of 06 at the u.s open at winged foot during the coverage. Any son that has a relationship with his father will appreciate this video.
"it's great to see how Tiger reacted to his father's death" Yes. How would you have reacted in Tiger's shoes? Earl Woods got Tiger into golf, taught him never to quit, and to be tough and if anyone suggests he wasn't a good father, they will be stomped to death by the posters here, I belive. Look how listening to his father and the father and son bond paid off for Tiger Woods!!!
Tiger is extremely fortunate that his father somehow was able to spend so much time with him. Most fathers are exhausted working nine to five and have to squeeze in time now and then if they can. It is a tragedy that work and things can hurt the father son bond for many sons. And many teens were off with other teens while Tiger was having fun with his dad.
The Zombies original version of This will be our year uses a trumpet briefly at the end of the song. Do a search for "this will be our year" on YouTube to hear the whole song, as it has been used on other videos unrelated to the Tiger/Nike video. The Zombies song is on their Odyssey and Oracle album.
The trumpets are featured on the Mono version of the song. If you get the Anniversary Odyssey and Oracle CD, it has both the Stereo AND mono versions of the album.
Fo me, I prefer the version without the horns, just the piano, but hey, that's just the version i grew up with.
even for those out there that arent golfers, i think tiger is an idol to millions, he sure is to me, just wish i didnt let parties n women get in the way of my dream, lol... and yeah this is very sad :(
My heart sings these words for my own mother. I wouldn't be the man I am today without her. She saved my life with her words and prayers. This song/commercial makes me emotional b/c it reminds me of, "the warmth of her love."
Yeah, he started as a left hand, but when he saw that his father did it the other way, he picked up a right hand club and started swingen with that, like it was no problem. I don't know about you guys, but I'am a right hand, and when I try a left hand club, the ball could go everywhere, or not go at all.
I'm pretty sure his dad was one of the significant motivations for Tiger to play professional golf and now look where he is. His father can't be any prouder. Tiger Woods rock...
Me too, it takes more than providing them with EVERYTHING they want and need like mine did. I would have much rathered him playing with us and stuff. Happy Fathers' Day to you!!
The spot was done before Earl died. All the photos and video were given to Nike from Tigers family. When Earl died Nike and Tiger talked it over and agreed to release it still. Tiger then gave a live interview press release the day before the spot was released to let everybody know he endorsed it.
just like the commercial that everyone criticized after the scandal, another genius commercial by nike
