Outside the Ropes documentary unveiled by TaylorMade

TaylorMade have lifted the lid on what it takes to compete at the highest level in golf by following five of their athletes over the past three months in the build-up to this year’s Open Championship.

Defending champion Darren Clarke, Justin Rose, Sergio Garcia, Dustin Johnson and Camilo Villegas allowed cameras to get up close and personal for a documentary entitled Outside the Ropes, which will be shown on Sky Sports 2 on Tuesday evening at 1830.

The film shows in great detail the things that the modern golfer has to do in order to be competitive on a weekly basis.

All aspects of preparation are covered, including diet, exercise and non-golf activities which help the likes of Garcia or Villegas to be amongst the best in the world.

Nick Robbie, Head of Consumer Marketing TaylorMade-adidas Golf EMEA, says: “This is a ground breaking project for TaylorMade-adidas Golf and we are very excited to introduce the film to golfers across all of our key markets. Outside The Ropes reveals the changing face of golf in a truly unique way and showcases the dedication of our Staff Players and the pivotal role that we, as leaders in innovation, can play in helping them achieve their goals.”

In addition to the 1830 showing, the documentary will also be repeated at 2200.

TaylorMade have also released a short video featuring some of their US-based pros talking about how they are preparing for unique experience of The Open Championship.
