Tiger had a pretty great season this year, winning 5 times on the PGA TOUR (although he has yet to crack his Major championship drought). His impact on the game of golf is well documented – he’s always insisted that golf is a sport and has really increased the level of play on Tour.
Players saw how hard he worked on and off the golf course and that really pushed them to be a little better, while also inspiring a whole generation of golfers to treat the game as a sport. More and more golfers now are becoming taller and more athletic with a huge dedication to fitness (just ask Rory McIlroy). In addition, golf apparel and equipment has also changed due to a bit of this “Tiger-effect,” most notably, the “golf shoe for athletes” – the TW’14, which incorporates Nike Free technology into a golf shoe. Take a look at this video above and hear from Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Brandt Snedeker, Keegan Bradley and more!
