Nike drew praise for a new ad featuring golfer Scottie Scheffler and his son, marking a shift in marketing strategy after years of backlash over "woke" campaigns.

Scottie Scheffler has won an eye-watering amount in prize money from major championships in the last four years, but the American has refused to be swayed by the cash on offer on the PGA Tour
