After a few weeks of speculation, both Tiger Woods and Nike confirmed Monday that their successful 27-year partnership had come to a close.
The 15-time major champion took to social media to confirm the news and thank founder Phil Knight, writing “Knight’s passion and vision brought this Nike and Nike Golf partnership together and I want to personally thank him, along with the Nike employees and incredible athletes I have had the pleasure of working with along the way.
Woods has been a brand ambassador for Nike since 1996 when he was 20 years old, and as one of Nike’s most high-profile athletes, he has featured in many a commercial and advertisement for the brand. Here’s a look at a few of our favorites.
