After an impressive partnership of nearly three decades, Tiger Woods has officially parted ways with Nike.
While it may not be the new chapter he intended, the golfer has already embarked on a new venture with A-list celebrity Justin Timberlake, marking the start of an exciting entrepreneurial journey.
Is this the pinnacle of an era, or just the opening line of a new chapter in the saga of a golf icon?
Tiger Woods Takes His Swing Elsewhere After Nike Split
In a stunning announcement, the golf giant has officially severed ties with the sportswear giant after an illustrious 27-year partnership. Woods revealed this momentous decision in a heartfelt statement on X (formerly Twitter), expressing gratitude for his incredible journey with Nike.
“More than 27 years ago, I was fortunate to start a partnership with one of the most iconic brands in the world. The days since then have been filled with so many amazing moments and memories, if I started naming them, I could go on forever,” he recalled.
Acknowledging the driving force behind this collaboration, the golf legend paid tribute to Phil Knight, the visionary behind Nike’s success. In his words:
“Phil Knight’s passion and vision brought this Nike and Nike Golf partnership together and I personally want to thank him, along with the incredible Nike employees and athletes I’ve had the pleasure of working with along the way.”
The 48-year-old ended his message by hinting at more developments in the coming days, state, “People will ask if there is another chapter. Yes, there will definitely be another chapter. See you in LA!”

As golf fans eagerly anticipate the progression of Woods’ post-Nike era, the legendary golfer may have embarked on an extraordinary endeavor.
Last October, The Blast reported that Woods teamed up with singer Timberlake to create a timeless and iconic project, set to revolutionize the sports and nightlife scene in Scotland.
Their announcement made via Instagram revealed ambitious plans to introduce T-Squared to the historic streets of St. Andrews, Scotland. The post featured adorable photos of the couple, saying, “T-Squared is coming to St. Andrews, Scotland. Link in bio for more.”
This venture marks the second branch of the duo’s enterprise, with the parent bar located in Manhattan. The moniker “T-Squared” cleverly combines Wood’s first name with the pop sensation’s last name, encapsulating the essence of their partnership.
Located on North Street, the Scottish bar will be set up in the premises of the 90-year-old New Picture House Cinema. After extensive renovations, the venue will undergo a remarkable makeover, including restoring a full-size movie screen for live sports streams and movie nights.

T-Squared Social’s planned investment will enable local communities, students and visitors to enjoy a wider range of cinemas, dining and entertainment in popular venues.
Woods Returns To PGA Tour With Ankle Surgery Behind Him
The stage is set at the Hero World Challenge, an annual tournament hosted by Woods every December, where twenty top-ranked golf stars will compete for the coveted $3.5 million prize.
The competition is not only a platform for intense competition among elite golfers, but it also has important charitable significance. The event benefits the Tiger Woods Foundation and is an unofficial fixture on the PGA Tour calendar.
Despite the impressive prize pool, the winner’s share of $1 million has been a double feat for defending champion Viktor Hovland. The Hero World Challenge marks Woods’ return to the competitive scene after a four-year hiatus, last participating in the holiday event in 2019.
The 2019 Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient’s return to the green is sure to have sentimental value for fans, especially after his withdrawal from last year’s Masters. The decision to retire from the sport was prompted by a re-exacerbation of his plantar fasciitis, which led to a seven-month recovery period.
