Our top-27 favorite Tiger Woods-Nike equipment photos, in honor of their 27-year partnership
Tiger Woods and the Swoosh – an iconic duo that helped changed the sport of golf forever – are no longer. After a 27-year partnership, Woods and Nike Golf officially parted ways, as confirmed in a post to Woods’ social media platforms on January 8, 2024.

Actually, as far as golf clubs and golf balls go, Woods’ equipment agreement with Nike Golf ended in 2016, when Nike’s golf division got out of the hard goods industry entirely. Although he was an equipment free agent for a brief period of time, Woods then signed a deal in 2017 with TaylorMade Golf to play its equipment, and Woods continues to be a TaylorMade equipment staffer today.
That being said, Woods and the Swoosh logo had quite a run together in the golf equipment world, which is cause for celebration.
In honor of Woods and Nike’s 27 year partnership, here are GolfWRX.com’s favorite 27 in-hand equipment photos, in no particular order, from 2011-2017.

Spotted: Tommy Fleetwood’s TaylorMade Spider Tour X Prototype putter
Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.
This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.
Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.
The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.
Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.

My Method 001 putter is the best putter I’ve ever used. The Vapor Pro Combo irons are as good as any iron I’ve ever played. They are not distance irons. They are precision irons that feel great. The VR Pro wedges are as good as any wedge I’ve used in 50 years of playing the game. I still game them all as well as a Vapor Fly driver, which isn’t the longest, but I hit fairways with it and manage to shoot around par. Nike made great clubs. No wonder former Hogan players signed with them. How many majors were won with Nike clubs?

Nike had a couple of decent clubs, however in general their golf equipment was not good to say the least.I won’t be missing any of their equipment. 😉
