Tiger Woods has been with Nike for a long time and has lead the company to its peak. Players like Rory McIlroy probably wouldn’t have signed with them without Tiger having had such success.
Tiger’s agent made a statement for him saying,
“He’s been a longtime icon of Nike golf and that’s not going to change one ounce. He’ll remain a loyal and enthusiastic icon of Nike.”
His agent also said that unlike many other of the professionals, Tiger knew this was going to happen and was prepared for when they went public.
Tiger turned to Twitter to express in his own words how he feels about the change, mostly praising Nike for all they’ve done for him.
Couldn’t play w/o clubs, balls & bag or men & woman dedicated to them. Grateful for their hard work & innovation from an amazing @Nike team

It’s because of these people we put the wound ball into extinction. They helped me win grand slam.

No matter what clubs he turns to next, you better believe he will be showing up on the course wearing the iconic swoop.
My story began in Cypress, CA. Big dreams and hard work have led me farther than I ever imagined. @nike #justdoit pic.twitter.com/hr38Ziu7qs
