Tiger Woods once was unquestionably the best golfer on the planet, and some would argue he still is, notwithstanding his recent struggles.
But young rival (and longtime Tiger fan) Rory McIlroy has clearly asserted himself in recent years as the new face of the sport, and should he win the Masters this weekend to clinch a career Grand Slam, his legend will only grow.
It's no secret McIlroy followed Woods' career with great zeal as a youngster. It was even revealed recently in an article by Charles Siebert in The New York Times Magazine that a 9-year-old McIlroy wrote a letter to his idol in which he warned Woods, "I'm coming to get you."
The two golfers' careers are inextricably entwined, their paths to stardom almost eerily similar, their laserlike dedication to their craft a thing of legend.
Nike knows all of this, and in a new commercial, the company has found a way to both celebrate the rise of one of golf's brightest young stars while simultaneously honoring perhaps the greatest player in the history of the sport.
Watch it above.
