Tiger Woods has hinted at the possibility of parting ways with Nike as he stages a comeback from his recent injury setback at the PNC Championship in Orlando. Speculation arose when Woods, accompanied by his son Charlie, appeared in attire sans the iconic Nike logo. Despite queries about the rumored split, Woods cryptically responded, “I’m still wearing their product [right now],” maintaining suspense about his future association with the brand. If the golf legend were to sever ties with Nike, it would mark the conclusion of one of sports’ most renowned partnerships, comparable only to Michael Jordan’s link with the sportswear giant. Since turning professional at 20, Woods has been synonymous with the Nike Swoosh, earning an estimated $500 million (£394 million) from the collaboration. His pivotal moments in golf, such as the memorable chip-in at the 2005 Masters, are forever linked with Nike gear, signifying a groundbreaking era when golf transcended elitist confines.
