Tiger Woods, who has worn Nike apparel since first signing with the company in 1996, has parted ways with the sportswear giant, the 15-times major champion said on Monday January 8 in a social media post. Woods had been a brand ambassador for Nike since 1996 when, as a 20-year-old, he signed a five-year, $40 million contract upon turning pro in what was the start of one of the most lucrative endorsement deals in sports history. The 48-year-old Woods, who returned to competition late last November after a seven-month injury layoff, ended his statement with “See you in LA!’, which suggests he is planning on playing the February 15-18 Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club.
Woods signed multiple deals with Nike over his remarkable career, most recently a 10-year pact in 2013 that was worth a reported $200 million. Nike also confirmed the ending of the partnership with its own social media post that showed Woods flashing his trademark fist pump and final-round red top along with the words: “It was a hell of a round, Tiger.”
