Golf's Not Hard with Tiger Woods Collection (Nike Shoe Commercials)

This video is a collection of four TV commercials Tiger Woods did for Nike in 1997. The series was called “Golf's Not Hard” and the comedy was based on the fact that Tiger is really, really, really good at golf, while the rest of of … aren't. So Tiger demonstrated things that were easy for him (How to Hit a 300-Yard Bunker Shot, for example) but not for any of us.

There are four commercials in this collection. The first one shows Woods demonstrating a unique (and dangerous, for fans) way to fix a slice. The second one deals with tee height, the third one with fairway bunkers.

We saved the best for last. The last of the four commercials shows Tiger Woods demonstrating just how simple the golf swing really is … except that it isn't, and by the end of the commercial our heads are spinning as Tiger talks about increasingly arcane swing theories.

Nike's “Golf's Not Hard with Tiger Woods” series of commercials were released to promote Nike's first golf shoe to carry Tiger's name, the 1997 Air Zoom TW golf shoes.

And Nike still makes Tiger Woods (or TW) branded golf shoes today: http://amzn.to/2e4qy0x

  1. In the first commercial, my brother was the kid in the red shirt on the right. He said they had a second part with him grabbing a piece of cardboard off someones head and going "Cool!" but was cut for time as they wanted to keep it under 30 seconds.
    Fun Fact: My brother says Tiger Woods had McDonalds flown in for him that day on the golf course.

  2. Dumb question… but was his shot through that gallery real or fake? I'm actually questioning this only because I'm sure he can really do it in real life…
