Nothing Snooty

A Quick, Completely Non Arrogant Golf Take

The King is Dead, Long Live the King

Tigers are often referred to as the king of the jungle. Tiger Woods was certainly king of golf for a stretch of time. Then, he blowtorched his marriage with trash bag waitresses, got a DUI, and his body began to break down.

Now, he’s leaving Nike and showing up on barstool’s dweeb golf channel.

Would Sunday Red be cool if it had been attached to another logo?

Would any other marketing department have drummed up the actual legendary sports commercials?

Nike struck gold for a considerable amount of time while Woods was wearing the Swoosh, but the cool factor is far more subdued if Eldrick was winning at Augusta in a Footjoy polo.

The question everyone is asking…if golf is booming why is Nike getting out?

When is the last time you saw a Nike golf shirt on the course?

Freshman year me put tape over my adidas soccer warm up shirt because I was such a loyal Nike backer. My golf wardrobe consists of Onward Reserve, Greyson, Holderness & Bourne, and Peter Millar.

Showing up the course in a backwards hat, sleeveless shirt, and basketball shorts isn’t cool for a 16 year old, much less someone close to 50.

His LIV counter league literally collapsed. He let himself appear on a barstool segment.

There were a few tears in my eyes at the St. Louis Park Lifetime Fitness on Sunday at Augusta in 2019.

Now, I can’t look away fast enough.

TLDR: If no one bought Tiger Nike apparel, who the f*ck is going to buy Bridgestone/Taylor Made Tiger clothes?
