'No Cup Is Safe' is the title of this new [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taylormade-golf) Golf ad featuring Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as they compete in a ridiculous game at the driving range.

Audiences find Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy taking some swings on an empty driving range in front of a massive Nike logo cut out of hedges. As they take their swings, they can't help but start competing with each other. After they both slightly miss sinking a hole in one, they turn to each other and start trash talking.

Tiger, being the elder statesman, sets the tone by sarcastically asking McIlroy "Any questions?" McIlroy responds by shooting a hole in one the next shot and saying "Just trying to keep up with the old guy, ya know?"

Tiger and McIlroy go back and forth sinking shots in ridiculous "cups" all over the course.
