Watch: Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy Nike Commercial
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- There are good commercials. Then, there are great commercials. Then, there is this commercial.
With The 2015 Masters just a few days from beginning, Nike released this incredible spine-tingling commercial titled 'Ripple' featuring the No. 1 golfer in the world --- Rory McIlroy --- and arguably the greatest golfer ever --- Tiger Woods.
The ad pays tribute to Woods, who was McIlroy's childhood hero.
Watch the ad below:
"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."
McIlroy, according to Bovada LV, is the favorite to win The Masters at 11/2. Woods, who announced on Friday he will be participating in the tournament, is 33/1.
