Woods no longer with Nike

It's kind of cryptic. It could be seen as a new chapter with Nike

Nike had a post up that indicates the partnership is over aswell, so I figure they're done

Because it is a golf forum - and this sponsorship was one of the most iconic and symbolic in the history of golf. Tiger with Nike and the subsequent advertisements - was a massive influence in modernising the game. Making it young , fashionable and showing a new generation that golf could be different. Yes, obviously Tiger himself was the main factor - but Tiger actually used the image of Nike and the adds and even what he wore as a mechanism to make a statement . Even up to being political - a thing Tiger is not known for now , and a thing golfers were not known for.

The use of his clothing - and even the red was a massive part of his story and his psychology - The chip shot at the Masters and the Nike aspect of all that is perhaps one of the most iconic moments in Golf in the last 30 years.

Nike was also a massive part of showing that the modern golfer - was an athlete , not a frumpy man in an odd jumper.

So - I guess many would care, or at least be nostalgic about a very special time in golf - a time when golf was changing and you were watching it become cool - with a rare once off talent.

So people would care - or at the least think about about the end of a very significant part of a special golf era. Nearing an end.

its a question rather than a comment

its about as interesting to me as what any other influencer is wearing

he is an old broken man and not a particularly nice one at that, hard to see the appeal at this stage

basically golf is a bit boring I suppose

This thread reminds me why I muted Monkeybutter previously. Didn't know why I did but no need to change it now.
