Nike has confirmed it’s split from Tiger Woods following their 27-year partnership.
The company released a statement on Monday about Tiger, saying, “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.”

On X, Woods announced the end of his historic partnership, while reminiscing on the “amazing moments and memories” he’s had with the athletic apparel giant.
“If I started naming them,” he said of his most memorable times with the brand, “I could go on forever.”

Despite being synonymous with Nike throughout his major tournament victories, Woods hinted at a potential split, notably wearing FootJoys at the 2022 Masters following a serious leg injury sustained in a car crash the previous year.
When asked about his future with Nike at the PNC Championship last month, Woods simply stated, “I’m still wearing their product.”
Tiger Woods’ future brand partnerships are uncertain, but he hinted at another chapter in his statement on Monday morning, saying, “People will ask if there is another chapter. Yes, there will certainly be another chapter.”
He concluded with a cryptic “See you in LA!”
