The spot is titled Ripple to represent the ripple effect Jack Nicklaus had on Woods and Woods had on McIlroy. It chronicles a young McIlroy watching Woods on TV and in person and picking up his practice habits (and trademark fist pump) during his own training. One portion of the video was filmed at McIlroy’s childhood home.

“It’s been an incredible journey for me, going from massive fan to competitor,” McIlroy said in a press release. “To think that not too long ago I was that little boy watching him on TV to where I am now. It’s been a cool journey and I’m very lucky I get to compete with and against him because he inspired me as a kid and he inspires me now. He’s the best player I’ve ever seen.”

“It’s neat because I’ve been able to be a part of different generations of competitors,” Woods said in the release. “Now I’m competing against the younger ones. It helps me train a little harder, because these guys are athletic.”

Did Tiger actually used to wear fedoras while playing or was that CGI magic?

He did as an amateur.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

That's amazing. The description mentioned the ripple effect from Nicklaus, so I thought they had put Tiger's face on Jack's body or something.

The 90s must have been a heck of a time. Teens in fedoras unironically.

Bit cheesy for me in areas....a lot of the rory story i think is sugar coated, i'm sure it wasn't all happy families and there were plenty of up's and downs relationship wise in the family, and i'm sure the whole "golf when you want where you want" is over exaggerated. Houses this part of the world are small....he would not had got away with chipping balls into a washing machine all day I can tell you!

He also didn't use nike clubs from what i've read :)

It sounded like Woods said, "Nice shot, Trevor." Any lip readers? YouTube commenter said, "Nice shot, babe.", but I'm sure I heard two syllables.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I thought it sounded like Trevor, but it doesn't now. I really can't tell what he said.

Ditto!  I noticed the putting green that Rory's parents built for him in their back garden to practice on.  That's gotta be a great way of not having to cut the grass and improve your game!

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that Rory learned how to chip/pitch by chipping into a washing machine. Also, I have a relatively small place, my son is golfing all over the house.

And what did you want them to show? A family feud? A drunkin' Irish brawl? Of course they are going for family friendly.
