I find this commercial a bit creepy.
I agree with GolferGal, I think it's a bit creepy using a deceased father's voice during a man's private life scandal to help promote their product. For me, totally a turn off.

I find this commercial a bit creepy.
i'm seriously mind boggled about this ad. advertising is my profession and i'm just not sure who/what benefits from this ad. no company spends that kind of money without expecting some sort of return and i'm just not sure what nike's selling in the ad. seems to me like a way for tiger to say sorry without having to say it himself. his pop would be rolling in his grave.
I don't see how this commercial is good for his image?I can't stand it and it makes me cringe every time it comes on.It's stupid and lame,JMHO.
Don't get me wrong,I have nothing against his golfing talent,he is the best golfer at this time of age. I'm not a fan of his persona and unsure if he can repair that image,only time will tell
The part of the ad that ... bothers me the most is Tiger staring into the camera. It creeps me out, kind of like a sexual predator mugshot. (He's obviously NOT a sexual predator, so no fan boy comments please).
I might have actually liked the ad if he was contemplatively sitting on a golf course bench or something similarly humble.
I wasn't too sure what to think about it the first time I saw it, so I watched it again. I have to say that I don't disapprove of the commercial. I didn't find it creepy, I would rather say I found it haunting instead. Haunting but not necessarily in a bad way. I am a little confused about what the overall message relating to Nike is, but overall, I have to say I kinda like this commercial. I think it's necessary that Nike comments on this. The general consensus is that Tiger screwed up, but at the end of the day, he is still a great golfer. I think this sort of echoes that sentiment. But that's just my opinion.
i was thinking something more along the lines of a midget on a bicycle....ridng around in circles. or vegas showgirls.
but on topic. from Nike's stand point....genius. from a consumer stand point.....disgusting. at any rate....everyone was already talking TW nonstop...this just adds fuel to the fire.
That ad is the ultimate in bad taste. What sort of morals do the marketing guru's at Nike have? Let's advertise our products off the back of a multiple adulterer using his transgressions as the hook!!! Unbelievable.
I have to disagree. I don't think Nike's morals are in question. TW is a powerhouse when it comes to Nike. They have built their entire line on Tiger's accomplishments. To ignore him would be to turn their backs on the man that has and most likely will continue to make them millions. They can't simply ignore Tiger, but at the same time they can't support what he did. I think that this commercial marries the two together quite nicely. Yeah, you screwed up, but now is the time to make it right.
This is complete hypocrisy. First he asks that his private life is respected and he is given space. Then he uses his private life for a Nike Ad. What an idiot.
As I watch him now I'm cringing as I see him doffing his cap and making the effort to grin at the crowds, it's smarmy and insincere.

can I ask a question? Is there any ad that they could have done involving Tiger that you would have thought was okay? What I mean is that you have a similar perspective to me in his actions, but I think that you and I have different takes on his comeback.
Ouch that sounds a little harsh! All I did was offer my own opinion and values.
In answer to your question, almost any type of ad promoting golf clubs and golf apparel using "normal" promotional blurb would be fine my me. You know, the stuff all the other companies make. Using the voice of your dead Father, talking about your sordid private life is definitely a no no in my book, call me old fashioned.......................
