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: amzn.to/2e4qy0x

    The 90s and 2000s nike ads with tiger woods, Michael jordan and lebron james are some of the most entertaining ads across all sports ever. It was always personality and charm first and branding second. Nowadays ads are just a means of blatantly shoving product to the consumer. New ads from taylormade and titleist and all the other golf brands have zero personality

      As funny as these commercials are, I don’t think it would work as well today. This is essentially a parody of two things, old infomercials and old training videos, and he wasn’t very good at acting at this point, which actually worked in his favor here because it’s very similar to the awful acting in those old instructional videos. Tiger Woods worked especially well here because he was not only a very good golfer but he was also very recognizable to mainstream media. People who aren’t playing golf don’t know any professional golfers except for Tiger Woods so what would normally be a pretty niche commercial, ended up being really well received by the general audience. Nowadays where everybody has an opinion, and has a place to share that opinion, it’s a lot harder to make a commercial that appeals to everyone. If Nike comes out with a funny commercial, there’s 1 million people talking about how dystopian this is that the huge company that uses sweatshops is making funny commercials. If they make a meaningful commercial, people say they’re pandering and if they just make a regular commercial people say that it’s boring.
