“You Have a Decision to Make”

On the second take, they told Tiger to hit the camera…
Nike filmed a few new commercials recently, and Tiger Woods is the star of one we've titled "You Have a Decision to Make." This is no ordinary commercial, though: Tiger pulls off something a little special in the final seconds.
Click here to play the commercial (18 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.
So he did.
P.S. Be sure to check out our forum after you've checked out the shot. And subscribe to the blog (the "Atom" and "RSS" links above).

That's the title of a new commercial by Nike that The Sand Trap posted. Very good one and a wonderful ending. Read more here: The Sand Trap .com - A Golf Blog: "You Have a Decision to Make".

I watched it again...it's still awesome. Is it just me or is Tiger's voice becoming more crisp? Used to be it had a little "blur" to it...seems like he's annunciating well now! Sent chills...man, I love golf!

The rumor about Tiger hitting the camera is rumor no more: conclusive proof and shots of the damaged gear.

This video is still awesome, though I never saw it on t.v. I bet it scared the daylights out of the camera man.
