I generally used their golf balls as backups, thought they were solid quality though. Such a shame

If Tiger hadn't imploded and was still winning tourneys using Nike clubs and balls, I doubt this transition takes place right now.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Definitely. Without Tiger's wave of dominance, Nike realized the golf business is a cruel, competitive world.

Yea they should. I'm a big fan of their golf shirts and cleats at least. The shirts fit well and they have hundreds of styles online. I never used any of the equipment except for a random sleeve of Nike One's every now and then which I liked. I'm hoping they go on sale but they probably won't!

Looks like PXG is going after Tiger and McIlroy.
