In Case You’d Forgotten: New Tiger Woods Nike Ad Tries Really Hard To Remind Us That Golf Is A Sport [VIDEO]

Nike's new advert with Tiger Woods may have been trying a little too hard to enforce the "golf is sport" message. See for yourself, after the jump.

This is the new advert released by Nike endorsing Tiger Woods’ new golf shoe, the TW ’14.

Nike’s new advert with Tiger Woods shows the athlete facing different elements from other sports – soccer crowds, baseball catchers and boxing referees. Enforcing the message that golf is a sport and Woods is an athlete.

Woods was quoted as saying:

I treat golf as a sport. I let other people treat it like a hobby.
