I'm no expert but someone with Nike seriously dropped the ball with selling Nike/Tiger product. How is TW Nike golf apparel not everywhere and bigger than anything??? I was always looking for it at the big golf chains and there was always next to nothing. And what there was, was generally overpriced and ugly. It just doesn't make sense. But hey, good for Tiger on that one! Had to be some of the easiest 50M a year ever made in sport!
Like the PGA Tour, Nike is struggling, so Nike is dropping golf!
Golf can never be like Basketball for apparel sales.
Tigers Wood rarely plays golf, why should nike still pay him? Dillon Mullaney dancing around in a nike sports bra like a little girl didn't help with earnings. Also Colin Kaepernick being un-American and getting black balled from the NFL surely wasn't profitable for nike.
What the hell is a high performance polo lol..
Leaving golf moving on that’s business!
It will be interesting to see if Tiger uses sweat shops and child labour in India the same as the many contractors used by Nike.
FNIKE
Honestly never see anyone on the golf course ever wearing TW Nike apparel….
hard to justify a player that doesn't play or a dwindling tour without players
According to Golf Retailers – Nike sales more golf clothes than all the other competitors combined
Tiger will sign with Greyson for a percentage of ownership, he and JT are super close so it makes sense. Federer left Nike for a 3% stake in On running right before they hit big and is laughing all the way to the bank. The golf apparel landscape is changing, Nike and Adidas are getting their heels nipped at by boutique brands that are producing great looking clothes that serve multiple functions rather than just being “on course” wear.
I don’t buy Nike products anymore and I am sure that I am not alone.
How is a high schooler allowed to be sponsored? Did that rule change?
Nike would still be a huge golf name if they had hired Japanese club designers and given people quality forgings right from the start. Instead, only the top Nike pros were using Endo, and Miura Nike forgings. Then they went off in a weird direction toward the end.
Even Mizuno dropped the blue wood lines, but Nike it was a good thing.
Nike also lost track with real runners, and were overtaken by Asics, then Adidas.
Plus, many conservatives play golf and Nike wokeness turned over half the golfers away.
Nike just makes poor decisions in the last 20 years.
Tiger's ability to play COMPETITIVE golf has been severely diminished. Personally, I lost all respect for the man after cheating on his wife with porn stars, crashing a car while under meds, and trashing Phil and other players for their outspokeness concerning the PGA and its management and payroll to non-players.
Tiger continues to suck up to the wrong people and making poor decisions.
Nike as a brand, arent gonna sit here and continue paying him what they pay, without seeing a return on investment. I dont know anyone that wears TW or Nike apparel, and I will never wear their stuff or use their gear. They use child labor and pay pennies on the dollar. Look it up. Facts. I will keep wearing and using AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS such as FOOTJOY and TAYLORMADE. Yes, theyre expensive, but they employ AMERICANS and that means more to me than anything.
feel many fans are sick and tired of the whining by these players so do not count on them having their own brand being popular.
its going to be a partnership between Nike and Srixon , everything will be fine.
Must be tough not having to buy your own ordinary trousers and polo shirts. If Nike can't be bothered to buy him some Footjoys and put them into a custom shop to make them look like theirs then yep, time to dump them. I'm sure UniQlo will snap him and Rory up just like they did with Roger Federer and Djokovic etc.
You go woke
You go broke
Nike offered Koepka “$2 Billion” for his LIV Team, sooooo I’m guessing Woods is looking for Moe money. So Maybe guys going to LIV for the money isn’t any different than Woods holding Nike hostage for……..More Money.
Is Nike becoming a dinosaur, gone but not forgotten, like Bud Light, Target, Disney, Marvel. PGAT, and so many more? Once you reject the US market and openly express you really are a China Company and have a primary relationship with China which comes first ………………………….. everyone gets it. The danger of modern day liberalism is self evident.
"a glaring indication of a potential rift". Wow. Now what do I do with all my Nike gear.
Nike leaving golf apparel makes zero business sense. Highly doubt this is their strategy.
Greg Norman line SHARK, is not in good shape, there are many exemple where pro unsuccessfull venture into business
The swoop has swayed, so what you do is eat your young.
Tiger's leaving he is THE FACE OF GOLF & his own brand with sponsor's to back him up with player's willing to wear his brand
You can play just as well wearing a $9Walmart polo shirt!
I’d buy Tiger stuff in a heartbeat.
I have a shirt and hat and dont like either.
If the Tiger Woods brand sponsored the players on LIV he would make millions. His brand would take off.
Nike is now being distributed by Sri, the soft and hard goods will be supplied via srixon/cleveland. Jordan brand is coming with.
I have wide feet, and NO Nike shoes that I ever tried on in the 1970's, 1980's, or 1990's ever fit my feet as comfortably as did New Balance shoes. I am speaking about tennis shoes, running shoes, and general outdoors oriented shoes, NOT basketball shoes. I used to listen to all the excuses that the shoe store employees handed me, but what it meant was that NIKE had decided, for whatever corporate reasons that they had, to JUST IGNORE a significant portion of the male shoe market in favor of those professional and amateur runners who had narrow to normal width feet. Once NIKE embraced WOKE ideology, that was the final nail in the coffin for me, and made any future decisions regarding athletic shoes and clothing easier. Just another American company that lost any potential loyalty from me because they have chosen the side of lies over truth by pandering to the cult of transgenderism.
Go woke.. go broke… screw Nike
No one will buy
I never ever supported Nike.
Rich man's problems.

Nike is so fk’d that they offered Koepka “$2 Billion” for his LIV Team. Doesn’t sound like a fk’d company to me. Sounds more like a company moving on from the Tour and their so called players.
What a load of crap. Who cares. Tiger made half a billion from them. Do you you know how much they made??? Billions and more.
