I've never seen nike pants like he wears (maybe I'm not looking hard enough). Are they by Élevée?

his pants are made by Cary Mitchell. he tailors the pants and sells them to Nike.
http://www.carymitchelldesigns.com/main.htmlNike does not sell anything even remotely close to what Tiger wears.
for the last several years he's been wearing wide leg, flat front trousers with a 1½ inch cuff.
if you watched the coverage last night, you'll notice that he wore wide leg, flat front pants with out a cuff but with a slit on the side.
he wore these during the President's Cup, as well.

the TW pants Nike makes aren't really that similar to what Tiger actually wears.
the Nike TW pants are not wide leg. they only have the standard 19-20 inch leg opening, where Tiger's wide leg pants have a 22-23 inch leg opening. this allows the pants to fit over the shoe a little more rather than rest on top.
Tiger's pants are mostly made of wool with the occasional CoolMAX treatment. Nike's retail TW pants are mostly Dri Fit or sometimes microfiber with Dri Fit.

Also, Nike does not make his sweaters (despite the swoosh logo on them). A high-end manufacturer in the UK makes them for him(sorry, can't find the name/link to the info currently).

To me this is a big deal in the way he looks so clean. I see guys like Shawn O Hair and others (he is just the first to come to mind) where they have regualr pants and it bunches up around the top of the shoe and almost looks like its tucked into the shoe. It drives me crazy! Petty I know but still drives me nuts when I see them putting and the pant dosent fall right

You can get "similar" ones from Nike in the TW and TW platinum collection. They aren't cheap.
You make that much money and you can get them to fall however you want on your shoes.

How about Charles Howe III's pants?! Wow. Talk about fitting poorly at the shoes. Just not a good look imo.

I remembered reading this article and was actually trying to find it not all that long ago. Thanks for posting it. I knew his pants never looked like they were made of polyester, Dri-Fit, or microfiber.

I don't like the fit of Tigers pants. IMO the leg is far too wide. Looks like the pants are couple of sizes too big.
(similar to the polos some wear, the sleeves are too long and big)

“Mitchell makes about 40 pairs of slacks a year for Woods”
So what's the breakdown for those 40 pairs? 20 black, 10 grey, and 10 khaki?

Aren't his pants forged by Miura? And I mean pants in the UK vernacular.

OSUbass is right on. Mr. Woods does not buy off the rack. That's just like saying he plays the same irons that are in pro-shops everywhere. I know Nike is great marketing company, and they would really want consumers to believe that Mr. Woods is wearing the same apparel that is sold to everyone else, but lets get real here. I don't think anyone on this forum would believe he doesn't wear custom clothing. Just my .02

he's actually worn a few pinstripe and windowpane pants over the years. usually in the charcoal or grey pants.

Wow! I figured he had his pants particularly tailored, but since Nike is an apparel factory first, I never thought anyone else but Nike would fit him. The fact that his pants are designed and tailored by someone esle and then sent to Nike to sew a swoosh stamp is surprising. Boy is this ever gonna fuel the Miura forging/Nike stamping theory.

If you want the same look, buy the tw platinum 4 inches longer in the inseam and have a tailor remove the cuff and split the seam. That said, kinda stinks that the platinum line is not legit tw wear..

in fairness, his pants actually do NOT have a Swoosh on them.

Peter Scott is the manufacturer of his knitwear!
I believe someone in the thread was looking for the name?
They do most of the top tour names.
Great stuff but definately a few greenbacks involved.

I saw a pair of his pants on sale at NikeTown in New York City once for $500. Pretty sure those were legit. Probably a pair tailored by that guy mentioned above.
