It’s the end of an era.
As Tiger Woods announced on Monday, the partnership he’s had with Nike for 27 years is coming to a close.
“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,” Woods wrote on X (formerly Twitter), while hinting at “another chapter.”
It’s those amazing moments that golf fans are focusing on with Tiger wearing the iconic Swoosh logo. Check out some of those that fans posted:
Tiger Woods has officially parted ways with Nike. It was an iconic partnership that gave us some great memories, and probably the best advert Nike Golf could have ever wished for!

“You challenged your competition, stereotypes, conventions, the old school way of thinking. You challenged the entire institution of golf. You challenged us. And most of all, yourself. And for that challenge we’re grateful.” -… pic.twitter.com/orAlv3Zn8Q

Disappointed. Hurt. Betrayed. Going to be hard to watch him play in another brand. Might be full send LIV guy now…

Alright, yes… the rumors are true
Tiger Woods is leaving Nike to be sponsored by my financial services marketing company.
This move makes sense for both parties. Please no further questions. pic.twitter.com/IC1YSPsvrX
