Tiger Woods is once again the top ranked golfer in the world, but is still among the top most hated athletes in America.

Tiger Woods is finally starting to rebuild his character, but does he deserve to be forgiven?
In 1999, Tiger Woods made advertising history bouncing a Nike golf ball on his wedge, then turning around and launching it. That memorable TV spot paved the way for Nike Golf’s new RZN Trick Shot spot featuring Rory McIlroy, Nick Watney, Kyle Stanley, Suzann Pettersen and Paul Casey. These athletes juggle and pass to each other utilizing Nike’s RZN core golf ball technology in the new spot, which is cut to music used in the 1999 ad.

Golf carts haven’t changed much over the years. They look and feel the same. What if there was a way to improve the traditional golf cart concept and take away some of the limitations? Bubba Watson approached Oakley with a revolutionary idea and that’s what they set out to do. They created the world’s first hovercraft golf cart. Using hovercraft technology, the BW1 is able to glide over any terrain, including grass, sand, and water.

Yesterday, Masters Champion, Bubba Watson, joined the Oakley Family. Bubba’s unique style and attitude fit perfectly with a brand dedicated to outside the box innovation. Oakley sets a unique standard style in any sport they cater to, with a distinguishable look, different from any other brand. To me, Oakley has always been ahead of the curve in technology and sponsorships being very critical to the sportsmen they choose. Watson’s charisma and fun attitude toward an otherwise buttoned up game could be pivotal in the progression of the sport. Bubba, Oakley. Oakley, Bubba.

Notah Begay III (pronounced KnowTo BeGay) may have the most unfortunate name in broadcasting. Just sayin’.
I am still on the fence as to whether this is real of not but if it is this might just be the most impressive trick shot video we’ve ever seen. At the Monday practice round, Martin Kaymer skips his ball across the water and into the hole on the 16th at Augusta, and the crowd goes crazy.
