A partnership that defined almost three decades! The alliance between Nike and Tiger Woods finally came to an end a little while ago. Although speculations had arisen regarding the split back when he started using another brand on the greens, the goodbye came as a surprise to many in the community. But he wasn’t alone in doing so. Now, enter Matthew Wolff!

The LIV golfer appearing on the greens without his full Nike outfit had made much chatter in the golf world. However, while doing so, he seems to have gone a step ahead to shine a light on the Saudi-backed league’s “freedom”, allowing him to use any equipment he feels is apt!

Matthew Wolff’s exit from Nike portrays LIV Golf in a new light

An update was shared on X by the 24-year-old’s fan page. The post talks about how the golfer would not be seen wearing Taylormade and Swoosh products while donning the RangeGoats GC gear. Moreover, he is slated to use “whatever equipment he feels is best,” possibly turning to FootJoy as his choice of kicks.

Adding on, the tweet also mentioned how the California native would be playing the next season with a Ping g-430 club. Anyhow, the 2019 3M Open champ’s fan page made sure to point out and highlight the “freedom” that he would enjoy while participating in the next edition of the PIF-funded circuit in 2024.

The two had started their partnership in 2019, and he was always spotted wearing the brand from head to toe. But a recent video of him playing at Medalist on January 6, wearing a plain black hat, a polo shirt, black pants, and white footwear without any distinctive Swoosh logo, sent the golf world into a frenzy.

The golfer joined the likes of Jason Day and Woods, as the former had already split up with the iconic brand as well not too long ago. Nevertheless, the latter ending the alliance with Nike, which saw a fruitful 27 years, was nothing short of surprising, despite there being rising speculations regarding the same.

The 82-time PGA Tour champ took to his social media to announce his split with the company with whom he had signed first in 1996, for a reported $40 million. However, over the years, the total worth of the deal reportedly came to a whopping $500 million as both icons grew along with each other in a highly successful relationship.

All in all, it appears the golf world is set to see some changes in 2024 as one of the biggest brands in the world finds many top names leaving its helm. What entails? Only time can tell!
