Woods Grilled By Late Dad In New Ad
By WENNThursday, April 8, 2010
TIGER WOODS has filmed a new TV ad featuring the voice of his late father EARL, who questions the golf superstar about taking responsibility for his actions.
The edgy black-and-white clip, which first aired in the U.S. on Wednesday (07Apr10), is the first commercial Woods has recorded with sponsors Nike since his marriage to wife Elin was rocked by reports of his infidelity.
Earl, who coached the sports ace at the start of his golf career, can be heard speaking to his son as the camera zooms in on Tiger, who looks solemnly into the camera but says nothing.
He asks him, “I want to find out what your thinking was, I want to find out what your feelings are and did you learn anything?”
The commercial’s release came on the eve of Woods’ return to competitive golf in the Masters on Thursday (08Apr10).
Earl Woods died of a heart attack in 2006.

Nike has sunk to a new low by bringing Earl Woods out of his grave. Earl was a serial womanizer whose behavior Tiger despised as a teen. Tiger is “like ofather like son” and Nikes attempt to rehabilitate him is disgusting and will fail. How money corrupts! |
