In the late 90s, Nike came up with some memorable and hilarious TV advertisements after bringing in then-rising Tiger Woods. As the legendary golfer is still healing from his Achilles tendon surgery, one such old advertisement video has resurfaced on social media, triggering reactions from the Fans.
Woods and Nike shared a strong bond, especially during the beginning of the golfer's career in professional sport. In 1997, the famous sports apparel brand teamed up with Tiger Woods to bring forward a series of commercials titled "Golf's Not Hard".
The advertisements showed Woods giving some exaggerated tips on how to play the game under different situations. One of those videos was recently shared by Tour Pro on X (formerly Twitter). It showed Tiger Woods hitting the shot through the narrow fairway left with a lot of people surrounding the ball trajectory.

When Tiger Woods announced end of his journey with Nike
Nike had been a longtime sponsor for the 15-time major winner, starting from 1996. With their first commercial, "Hello, World", Woods started sporting every Nike merchandise on the course.
However, in January last year, Tiger Woods announced the end of a 27-year-long journey with the sports brand. Via a statement on his X timeline, the PGA Tour veteran shared his thoughts about all these years with Nike:
"...The days since have been filled with so many amazing moments and memories, if I started naming them, I could go on forever. Phil Knight's passion and vision brought this Nike and Nike Golf partnership together and I want to personally thank him, along with the Nike employees and incredible athletes I have had the pleasure of working with along the way."
Woods is now a proud owner of his apparel brand, Sun Day Red, which he started last year. The brand specialises in making apparel for both on and off the course.
