The end of an era.
After 27 years of partnership, Tiger Woods and Nike have decided to part ways. Ever since Woods turned pro in August of 1996 he has been part of the Nike family. Throughout the last 27 years he captured 15 major championship victories and 82 PGA Tour wins. Tiger had the following to say via his X account:
“Over 27 years ago, I was fortunate to start a partnership with one of the most iconic brands in the world. The days since have been filled with so many amazing moments and memories, if I started naming them, I could go on forever. Phil Knight’s passion and vision brought this Nike and Nike Golf partnership together and I want to personally thank him, along with the Nike employees and incredible athletes I have had the pleasure of working with along the way.”
Tiger didn’t say what apparel brands he planned to wear in future events though he has been wearing FootJoy golf shoes since returning to competition from injuries he suffered in a car wreck outside Los Angeles in February 2021.
