"Winning Takes Care of Everything"

Upon the completion of the Masters, naturally people are back to talking about Tiger Woods.  He recently received harsh comments after Nike aired its latest online ad shown below.  The ad, which was posted on Facebook and Twitter basically alludes to the scandal and career stumbles that Woods has faced to regain his world no. 1 ranking.  

Woods has used the quote since 2009 and would commonly use it when reporters would ask him about his or other golfers' rankings.  

The ad was put up at the end of March 2013, and since then it has gotten more than 8,000 likes and 2,000 shares on Facebook.  Since there was such unpredictable responses, Nike was forced to comment.  

"Tiger has always said he competes to win," Nike spokesman Beth Gast said in a statement. "When asked about his goals such as getting back to No. 1, he has said consistently winning is the way to get there. The statement references that sentiment and is a salute to his athletic performance."

A twitter poll by ESPN also revealed that others didn't seem to care either way.  There were others who didn't seem bothered. In an unscientific poll taken on Twitter by ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell, of 178 respondents, 84.1 percent said the ad was "no big deal," while 15.9 percent called it "offensive."

Apparently winning does take care of everything?
