An era is over.
After 27 years, Tiger Woods and Nike choose to end their partnership.
“It will be a new chapter”Woods said in a statement.
It is one of the sports world’s most iconic and financially lucrative collaborations that is now going into the grave.
According to task Tiger Woods has received 500 million dollars in pure payouts, while Nike in turn is estimated to have earned billions of dollars from having him as an advertising pillar.
“Fantastic memories”
It was Nike founder Phil Knight who chose to bet on Tiger Woods 27 years ago and in his statement the 15-time major winner says he is eternally grateful.

“The days since then have been filled with so many amazing moments and memories. If I were to name them all, it would take forever”.
Comeback snart
Tiger Woods – who was world number one for 264 straight weeks between 1999 and 2004 – always played in black trousers and a red shirt when the competitions were decided on Sundays.
Now the entire golf world is wondering how the legend will dress once he is back on the PGA Tour.
Because back, he will.
“People will ask if there is another chapter. The answer is yes, of course there will be another chapter. See you in LA”he says.
The comeback on the PGA tour is expected to take place in the Genesis Invitational in Los Angeles in mid-February.
