Tiger Woods ends near three-decade partnership with Nike
New York | Tiger Woods, who has worn Nike apparel since first signing with the company as a newly professional 20-year-old, has parted ways with the sportswear giant, the 15-times major champion said in a social media post.
Woods, now 48, signed his first five-year, $US40 million contract with Nike in 1996, and renewed it repeatedly in one of the most lucrative endorsement deals in sports history, while dominating the game like no other player of his generation. His last deal was a 10-year pact in 2013 worth a reported $US200 million.
