In the last year the world of golf saw some drastic and popularly discussed changes have been made, from the belly/long putter to Rory's turn to Nike. As one of golf's top athletes, Rory Mcilory had numerous endorsements ranging from Titleist to Oakley. In the end of last year Mcilroy went public with his plan to drop all endorsements and have a solo standing with Nike, a complete sponsor 180.
Recently Nike aired a new commercial promoting Miclroy as the new team member along with, "all time great" Tiger Woods. The idea of this commercial is where, for me, things get confusing... It may seem that Nike is simply promoting a new team member, but for someone who follows golf may see something different. Many people are aware of Tigers swift fall from the top after the turmoil withing his private life, they are also aware that he truly never came back to the player he once was. Now after watching this commercial, you may see what I see, which is Nike showing us that Tiger is on his way out and Mcilroy will be taking the reigns

Do you feel that there is an underlying story here?
