Tiger Woods Dominates the Fashion Game with Next-Level Trends!
For nearly three decades, Tiger Woods has been synonymous with the Nike brand, often sporting the iconic swoosh on his chest during his illustrious golf career. However, in a significant development, Woods recently announced the end of his long-standing partnership with Nike, marking the conclusion of an era for the 82-time PGA Tour winner and the renowned sportswear brand. Despite the official split being announced a week ago, it remains challenging to envision Woods donning attire from any other brand.
In a recent appearance on the Fore Play Pod, Woods was still seen wearing Nike gear, possibly recorded prior to the announcement of the split. This visual continuity makes it difficult to imagine his signature ‘TW’ logo adorning anything other than Nike apparel.
My 2 cents….
1. TaylorMade is the most logical option.
2. Greyson is the fun option (with more upside). They are rumored to be signing Charlie Woods. Tiger's good buddies with Justin Thomas (who owns equity in the brand), and they would probably give him equity.
3. I don't…

However, a change is imminent, and the golf world eagerly awaits Woods’ decision on his next clothing brand.
Various rumors have circulated about potential contenders, including Grayson Clothier and speculation that TaylorMade might introduce a clothing sector to their expanding brand. There are even suggestions that Woods could venture into launching his own clothing line. However, the decision is not a straightforward one for Woods, and several factors must be considered.
Joshua Butler, a golf brand and gear expert who founded J. Butler Golf, emphasizes the financial implications of associating with a figure of Woods’ magnitude. In an exclusive interview, Butler explains that the financial commitments and sponsorship requirements tied to a partnership with Woods could be overwhelming for smaller companies. The financial burden could potentially lead to bankruptcy for companies not adequately prepared for such a high-profile endorsement.
While it would be exciting to see Woods align with a smaller company, the financial constraints make it unlikely at this point in his career. However, there are notable minority-owned brands, such as Blackballed Golf, J. Butler Golf, Trap Golf, Golfer Bro, and Eastside Golf in Atlanta, that could benefit immensely from Woods’ endorsement, given his influential role in popularizing golf, particularly among people of color.
Butler suggests that if Woods were to choose a minority-owned company, it could be transformative for that business and make a significant impact on disadvantaged communities. However, the financial reality currently makes this option less feasible for Woods.
Potential alternatives that Butler considers include Footjoy, already supplying Woods’ shoes, and Grayson Clothier, a brand with ties to his friend Justin Thomas and sponsorship deals with Woods’ son, Charlie. Woods, being a major influencer in the golf world, holds the power to shape golf fashion trends. His choice in the next clothing brand could signal a shift in the golf fashion landscape in 2024, contributing to a potential golf fashion movement in the sport.
