What's next for Tiger Woods after breaking up with Nike?
Tiger Woods could announce an apparel deal with TaylorMade after he split his ways with Nike. The legendary golfer is set to appear in a recent episode of the Fore Play podcast, which is scheduled to air on Wednesday, January 10.
TaylorMade has reshared a clip of the podcast featuring Woods on its X (formerly Twitter), hinting at a surprise for golf fans. The golf brand made an intriguing tweet with a wide-eyed emoji and wrote, "Stay tuned" in the caption.
TaylorMade has made significant investments in golf equipment and has stayed out of the golf clothing market so far. But according to mirror.co.uk, they may enter the industry as they posted a job for a "new apparel division" last month.
Tiger Woods uses TaylorMade's golf equipment. In addition to Woods, the brand also endorses top-ranked PGA Tour players, including Rickie Fowler, Tommy Fleetwood, Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and Collin Morikawa.
