Tiger’s Broken Camera, Explained
Posted January 20th, 2005 by Erik J. Barzeski
The rumor about Tiger hitting the camera is rumor no more: conclusive proof and shots of the damaged gear.
Tiger breaking the camera in that Nike commercial is all the buzz these days, and we've got more for you: a clip from "Inside the PGA Tour" featuring the director, Tiger, and some lovely footage of what a striped 3I from the Tiger can do to a piece of expensive glass.
Click here to play the commercial (8.8 MB, QuickTime MPEG-4 video).
Rumor has it that on the first take, they told Tiger to hit the ball a foot or so over the camera. He hit it about four inches above. From sixty yards away. That shot wasn't quite good enough, so on the second take, they told Tiger to hit the camera.
It is rumor no more. Check it out.
P.S. Be sure to also check out our forum after you've checked out the video.

That is by far the best commercial too.
