Tiger Woods secretly tests new Nike One Platinum ball
Another ball change for Tiger? see below...
Last week, Sports Illustrated reported that Woods since January has been playing a prototype Nike ball called the One Platinum. He has been using it to crack 300-yard drives -- with a three-wood. He has been rolling in clutch 28-footers at Doral with it. And he has been using it to win a couple of tournaments while playing No. 1 tag with Vijay Singh.
But here's the kicker.
Woods has been hiding the ball from the Darrell Survey -- which monitors equipment use on the PGA Tour -- by playing a ball stamped with the name of his previous ball, One Gold.
Such is the cloak-and-dagger world of golf equipment manufacturing.
"As is usually the case, he'll put a prototype in play before he signs off on anything," said Nike communications director Dean Stoyer. "He's got to see how it works in competition before we introduce a new ball that's tied to him." - [Detroit Free Press]
