Has Tiger Woods finally moved on? Well, the golf world sure had been dominated by rumors of the legend splitting up with Nike until all of it came true a while ago. However, it seems that the rumor mills of the golf town have spun another set of speculations regarding the 48-year-old finding a replacement for the Swoosh on the greens.

A tweet was shared by TWLEGION, a fan page dedicated to the golfer, not too long ago, hinting at the same. What’s more, even the athlete himself was spotted carrying the clothing, all the while adding fuel to the fire!

The video shared by the fan page on their X handle showcases an advertisement-cum-teaser by the American clothing company TravisMathew. Moreover, they shared the same with the caption, “Travis Mathew says a new moment is coming” insinuating a new deal that is coming through for the brand.

Is that all? Not even close. Another video made the rounds on the net as Woods, donning his white Nike shirt, was spotted carrying a set of clothes in a car park. However, as the video zoomed in, the brand was made out to be none other than TravisMathew. Just adds more base to the replacement rumors!

The 15-time major champ had earlier split up with Nike and announced the same on his social media. Adding on, he also expressed his gratitude to Phil Knight, the former CEO of the brand, all the while bidding an emotional farewell to the company that stood by him for 27 years, helping each other rake huge profits.

Interestingly, if the talk of the town does turn out to be true, then the Ryan Ellis-led company sure has a fruitful future ahead of them with the 82-time PGA Tour champ. This is especially so since the label saw itself splitting up with one of its athletes, not too long ago.

The clothing company recently experienced a split with Keegan Bradley following a long-standing partnership of nine years. The two had paired up with each other back in December 2014 after the golfer left Tommy Hilfiger to sign up with the American brand. Besides, it was a win-win situation for both, as the athlete was able to find a better fit for his style while the label was able to welcome another major champ into their midst following Bubba Watson’s departure in 2013.
