Well, he finally did it. I truly believed that The Beard was the only one left who hadn't gotten angry, or hurt, or disappointed, or shocked at Eldrick for his sexual misgivings, bad driving, and overall scumbag personality being brought out in full view for the Court Of Public Opinion to rule over. I thought I was the only one who knew this guy was nothing but of piece of crap from day one. Until now, I just laughed my whole way through this bizarre journey since Thanksgiving. That has all changed now with the release of this Nike Ad. Now he's PISSED ME OFF! While the whole golf world watched him laugh and joke and play grab-ass to the crowd/cameras on his way to shooting 4 under par today at Augusta National Golf KKKlub, he managed to do something that actually surprised, disappointed, shocked, and angered me with the release of this ad today. The ad essentially unearths his fathers corpse and uses it as a human shield so that he can continue to sell Nike products, PERIOD. There's no other explanation, interpretation or goal.
What people must first remember is that not only was Tiger Woods The Nice Guy Family Man image a myth before Thanksgiving, but Earl Woods similar image was a myth as well. Earl Woods according to several reports like this one, was a fall-down drunk who also cheated on his wife and whether people like it or not, probably shouldn't have programmed his son to do nothing but play golf as early as the age of THREE YEARS OLD. Secondly, even if Earl was such a strong and wholesome influence on Eldrick, it is still unethical, not to mention completely CREEPY to exploit his death by suggesting it's the reason why Tiger The Hero fell from grace, let alone to sell product for a global multi-billion dollar faceless bloodthirsty corporation.
This is a new low, even for Tiger. This is nothing but shameless on his and Nike's part. The worst thing is that his fans, admirers, linchpins and sycophants don't care simply because Eldrick is still a great golfer. That's all that matters to them...unless it was their daughter that he married and cheated on...unless it was their neighborhood he was drunk driving in...unless it was their daughter that Eldrick had sex with in his office.
Then maybe the hero-worshippers might develop something that Eldrick, Nike, his media ass-lickers, and his fans seem to think is a disease...a CONSCIENCE.
