Maybe that's why he couldn't read the greens?

At 7:25 AM, Anonymous said...: Anyone know who makes the sunglasses or where they can be purchased???

1st time he wore them,dont think he`d wear them otherwise.
At 5:13 PM, Anand said...: Hello. I called NIKE and found out that Tiger was wearing
"Nike Diverge Sunglasses - Black Frame w/ Grey Lens - EV0325-002"
they are still waiting on his rep to confirm this to NIKE. Can you believe it even NIKE does not know for sure what Tiger wears. Anyway I checked them out and they seem to be the same ones he had on.

Hope this helps.

Later.

Those are non-polarized. I wonder if he was actually wearing the non-polarized as opposed to the polarized lenses?

Any thoughts?
