TIGER WOODS
CONTINUES IMPECCABLE
WINNING RECORD WITH NEW NIKE ONE
PLATINUM BALL
-Woods Rallies from Four Shots Back to Win his Second Dubai Desert Classic –
Tiger
Woods¡¯ captivating winning performance at the Dubai
Desert Classic could be a sign of things
to come in 2008, which is continued Tiger Woods domination. Already,
Woods has won his last four official PGA Tour events and six of his last seven
dating to the 2007 Bridgestone Invitational in August. Woods also won his
unofficial Target World Challenge by
seven shots in December. His Dubai
Desert Classic victory represents the first international win by
a member of Nike Golf¡¯s
Tour staff in 2008, and third overall. With the immediate success enjoyed
by Nike Golf¡¯s
Tour staff early in the PGA Tour season, Nike Golf is well on track to
potentially repeat the PGA Tour dominance it had in 2006 and 2007, when it
captured the most driver, irons and fairway wood wins.
Adding
to the success of its equipment, Nike Golf¡¯s new ONE balls
are making a powerful statement on the PGA Tour. Woods used Nike¡¯s new ONE Platinum ball
at the Dubai Desert Classic, and so
far, he has a perfect 3-0 record with the new ball.
Nike Golf¡¯s Tour staff member
K.J. Choi also used the ONE Platinum ball
for his victory at the Sony Open last month, when he averaged 307 yards in
driving distance. The new Nike ONE Platinum and ONE Black balls
both feature Nike¡¯s
Power Transfer Technology that promotes increased distance in metal woods, long
irons and off center hits.
