If I had a son, I'd put a golf club in his baby crib cause their is clearly a void in the sport and money to be made in the future

I literally havnt heard of anyone talking about Golf since Tiger fell off

If it wasn't for my local sports radio talking about golf every so often, i wouldn't know who were the new blood in golfing.

Real talks I think a charismatic player could really eat in gold at the moment. There's no real #1 star player it seems, casuals watched just for Tiger and the game needs someone like him to pop up.

That McIlroy and them boys are boring as hell no one gives a damn about them lol

Tiger did use Nike clubs and I think those are very difficult clubs to hit. It's always something off when I test them.

Tiger's pre-Nike clubs were U badges Miura clubs. That's what he was swinging during his prime. Rory had Titleist during his prime.

Why did they change? In the words of the Million Dollar Man, "everybody has a price."

Nike golf equipment was shyt. Nobody bought that shyt like people bought Nike shoes simply because they were Nikes.

False.

I could have sworn I heard that somewhere. And that Nike said use what you want but wear our branding.

Seeing how that golf department has folded it's not to far out of a possibility that he would use other clubs.
Edit:
"tiger Woods will begin using Nike Inc.'s new irons tomorrow at the American Express Championship in Ireland, another step in his switch from clubs made by Acushnet Co.'s Titleist brand."

"The world's No. 1 golfer has been using Nike's new titanium driver since January, but all his other clubs were made by Titleist. Now, the only non-Nike clubs in his bag will be his putter, fairway woods and wedges."

``It helps, but I don't think it means the world to Nike clubs,'' said Brett Hendrickson, an analyst with Los Angeles-based B. Riley & Co. ``A lot of people aren't even aware that he hasn't been playing with Nike irons.''

When did he sign with Nike?

Bruh, that article is from 2002. He's been playing with Nike irons and woods for a decade plus.

I figured you be an ass about this.

Did he use clubs other than Nike while he was signed to Nike?

The answer is yes. And that's all I was tryna say.

If you thought he ever used any other clubs you would have said "after so and so year he was exclusively using Nike clubs" but you didn't.

Exactly. Tiger was the closest thing we saw to MJ, where people pretty much regardless of race or gender wanted to be like him and look like him (golf clubs, red polo, red sweater, Nike hat, hell even the fist pump after a big putt)

You're completely forgetting the Tiger Domination Outfit aka Ron Swanson sex outfit aka something you put on when you're about to kick ass

How do we not have a Tiger smiley btw?
