Video: New Nike Ad "Ripple" Featuring Tiger & Rory
/Here's Nike's description of the film, which is 2 minutes in full and will be turning up on your televisions soon.
Extraordinary athletes serve as idols to the next generation. Their greatness inspires, and before long the inspired have in turn become role models themselves. Tiger Woods idolized Jack Nicklaus. Rory McIlroy looked up to Tiger Woods. And now, Woods and McIlroy compete side by side as they fuel the dreams of sport’s future greats. It’s a ripple effect.
Of course, one hopes that the ripple doesn't extend to working out to the point of having a body falling apart and short game yips.
Setting that aside, and the fact Rory seems to have been a huge Nike wearer all through his youth while hanging out at the pub owned by his dad, Jay Leno, I'm curious if you think this compelling ad airs had Tiger decided not to play the Masters this week?
