With whom is Tiger Woods collaborating? Since the icon left Nike and dropped a few cryptic clues, one of which surfaced a little while ago, hinting at a new clothing reveal, this question has been on the minds of the community’s diehard admirers. It’s noteworthy to note that the golfer’s last “Sunday Red” teasing appears to allude to a collaboration with one specific brand—Greyson Clothiers.

TWLEGION, a fan page devoted to the professional, tweeted their “preliminary observations” about the post that Mr. T uploaded on February 10. In the process, the handle appears to have borrowed heavily from the gossip surrounding the legend’s son, Charlie Woods, who has supposedly inked a contract with Greyson Clothiers.

Woods has already disclosed how he planned to make public the information about the “Sunday Red” brand on February 12. The social media post made by TWLEGION, in response to the second tease that followed, remarks on how the red shirt’s “collar,” worn by the golfer in the X post, “resembles Greyson stitch pattern and design.”

According to reports based on sightings, he is scheduled to accompany his son to the clothes shop. The 14-year-old youngster was also linked to Greyson Clothiers earlier in December 2023 since he was seen wearing the brand’s clothing when he and his father competed in the PNC Championship. Additionally, NFL Sensation Larry Fitzgerald welcomed him into the family on his Instagram story, which fueled more rumors about the same.

That wasn’t all that the fan page saw based on the most recent photo that the 15-time major champion had uploaded. The post further mentioned that the legend “has never worn woven belts like this,” in reference to his clothing. But they went on to say that only men like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy wear “a belt similar to this from Nike.”

But was that all that could have been seen from the golfer’s post that was shared? No, not even close, as a different fan site donned their detective caps and offered up yet another round of theories based on the most recent sightings.

Another fan site for the legend, TWSPOT, proceeded to put on their detective hats and examine the gloves that the 48-year-old was sporting in the picture. As they made note of the fact that “TaylorMade’s new Sunday Red logo is visible on the glove,” they conjectured about a partnership with his reliable club makers.

But ultimately, that’s all they are: unfounded rumors. Don’t worry, though; the athlete still has one more day to fulfill his pledge and inform the public and his supporters of what or who is responsible for the recognizable “Sunday Red” notifications. Calm down and give it a little while longer!

The weather was dreary and dark, and there were a lot of arrests and inebriated supporters! Does that sound familiar? These have been the 2024 WM Phoenix Open’s main highlights. One of the wildest days ever observed occurred on the third day at TPC Scottsdale. Even though the 16th hole once attracted 200,000 spectators, the PGA Tour had to take action to contain the chaos!

While intoxicated, a number of strange things happened. As a result, the decision was taken to stop selling alcohol. Despite this, the beverages were the main reason why guests enjoyed the event so much! Can PGA Tour pros enjoy a few drinks and join in the festivities while competing?

Among the oldest sports in the world is golf. Despite significant upgrades over the past ten years, the policies on smoking and alcohol appear to be stringent. But there are plenty of legends, like John Daly, who could have occasionally disregarded those norms.

Players are not allowed to consume alcohol while competing in tournaments, according to the 2022–2023 PGA Tour Player Handbook and Tournament Regulation. Per the policy, there will be consequences for any member who is discovered to be “drinking alcohol during any practice round or tournament round (whether a pro-am round or a tournament competition round), on the practice tee or putting green.” A pro might lose his membership as a result of the action.

Nonetheless, the PGA Tour permits modest alcohol consumption following rounds or during any Tour social events; however, improper conduct could jeopardize a professional’s PGA Tour card. In addition to these guidelines, golfers are encouraged to behave appropriately when under the influence of alcohol in public areas, on golf courses, and elsewhere.

Jay Monahan, the PGA Tour commissioner, will conduct an investigation into any occurrence and render a decision based on relevant facts. Although some items are prohibited from the course since the events are viewed by a large audience and may negatively impact them, the participants are still permitted to have fun. Pros are required to abide by stringent regulations regarding the use of cell phones while on the greens, in addition to the rules regarding alcohol consumption.

The PGA Tour pros are permitted to use their phones twice a day, during practice rounds and in specific areas during any Pro-Am, per the regulation book. The device must vibrate or be silent during practice rounds in accordance with the policies. The rule’s underlying principle is that other golfers shouldn’t be hindered by cell phone use.

On the other hand, mobile devices should only be used for making calls in specific places and creating material on the golf course when participating in the Pro-Am tournament. However, players are explicitly forbidden from using their phones during competition rounds. According to the rule book, it can be used for calling or creating material in particular situations, but appropriate behavior must be observed.

 

What does Tiger Woods do now that Nike has departed? Since then, almost half of golf enthusiasts have expressed concern over this. Early in the new year, the 27-year couple declared their split. The golf community was arguing on the internet about which of the 15-time major winner’s brands to support—FootJoy, Greyson, Adidas, or even his own? Some even suggested starting his own business. However, with his most recent social media post, Woods has finally made the decision to halt such speculations and discussions.

The golfer posted a fresh snapshot to social media with the caption, “A new day rises 2.12.24.” It looked difficult to interpret the post’s meaning at first. The golf community was confused since it appeared to be almost exactly the same as what the golf great had posted a few days prior. Nothing, though, can be withheld from his horde of admirers for very long.

The Sunday red branding on the TaylorMade gloves the 48-year-old was wearing in the photo was swiftly noticed by his well-known and detective-like fansite, only minutes after he posted his mysterious update. However, what might this imply? That’s obviously fantastic news for TaylorMade, though!

The golfer will be launching a new apparel line in conjunction with his reliable club makers for years, as evidenced by the Sunday red logo sneak look on the gloves. But as stated in the social media post, the golf world will only get to see him in full on February 12th. He’ll get to play in it the following weekend when he takes the green at the Genesis Invitational.

“A monthly tournament.” To the golf world, Tiger Woods’s remarks sounded almost like a lie because everyone’s perception of the events that followed his accident in 2021 has been altered. But the release of his most recent clothing line would allay any concerns.

One of the best examples of TaylorMade’s faith in Woods is his ability to stay on the PGA Tour. Announcing to the public during the launch that he will be returning to Genesis Invitational as a “playing host” with confidence also lets the fans know that they can count on him to host an event every month.

Woods’s play towards the close of the previous year, along with his 18-hole walk, demonstrated that his leg problems are behind him. Although he hasn’t always followed through on his commitments to compete in every major, Tiger Woods is serious this time. Who knows, maybe this year, he’ll wear the green jacket with his new Sunday red.

 

The combination of PIF and the PGA Tour still feels like a distant dream. The issue of the long-lost LIV Golf defectors arises with the long-awaited merger. With this hopeful reality, their standing (and potential return to the PGAT scene) is as precarious as it gets. Why, though, is it the case? The solution to this seems to have multiple layers, but Tiger Woods seems to be the most obvious. One of the main obstacles to the former PGAT stars’ re-entry appears to be the fifteen-time major winner. You might wonder, why Woods?

Behavior speaks louder than words ever could. Woods has expressed in the past that he would be prepared to assist the PGA Tour in the event of a merger with LIV Golf, but his actions regarding the recovery of these long-lost gems do not support this statement. After all, a merger would eventually let the current LIV players to play on the PGA Tour. This is why Woods stands in the way of realizing this dream:

One of the most controversial issues surrounding the PGA Tour-PIF merger is the reintroduction of the LIV Golfers. Given his significant influence among the PGA Tour player council and the golf community at large, it is possible that the merger would have happened sooner if Woods had given his full consent for the players who had deserted to return.

Because it is not yet finalized, the all-powerful Tiger of the golfing jungle will not fully support the former golfers’ smooth return home.

Woods’ reluctance is also supported by two player sources.

A sizable portion of PGA Tour supporters disagree that LIV golfers ought to be granted free and unrestricted entry. Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas are part of this subset. Given their tight relationship, it is very possible that JT’s assessment of the situation reflects Woods’s as well.

“I’m not necessarily super adamant one way or the other,” Thomas said. I desire the greatest athletes and the greatest product.However, I firmly disagree that they ought to have such easy access to return.

The golfers under debate are the ones who quit in the first place, according to Scottie Scheffler, and they also sued the Tour, which was not in “great taste.” “A path towards returning—I believe that if they simply returned as if nothing had happened, it would not be a very popular decision. The golfer made some harsh comments, saying, “I think there should be a pathway back for them, but they definitely shouldn’t be able to come back without any sort of contribution to the tour, if that makes sense.”

The five-time Masters winner’s contribution to the $3 billion PGA Tour merger with SSG

The link between Woods and the PGA Tour-SSG merger materializes upon close examination. Fenway owns a TGL team, after all, along with every other member of the SSG. Furthermore, the SSG only became involved in the PGA Tour investing scene when the golf phenomenon resumed his leadership role as a council member.

Consequently, it is reasonable to conclude that he served as the primary liaison between the PGA Tour and Fenway, which has become a formidable financial rival to the PIF. This has allowed the PGA Tour some time to establish its ground, something that Woods appears to be very interested in.

Fans haven’t watched Tiger Woods compete professionally in a long time. More time has elapsed since supporters witnessed him compete against opponent Phil Mickelson. Golf enthusiasts also longed for their match to happen!

A recollection of the two battling for first place has surfaced, despite the fact that they are in different leagues and cannot compete anymore. The fact that neither of them succeeded in winning only adds to the intrigue! Let’s review the occasion when Michael Campbell defeated Mickelson and Woods.

Recently, Woods, Mickelson, Singh, and Campbell—the four players vying for the 2005 US Open championship—were tagged in an X post posted by Campbell. With the remark, “Wonderful memory, 2005 grand slam,” he shared the photo. Since then, a large number of golf enthusiasts have commented on the post, making it viral.

Pinehurst Resort Course hosted the 2005 US Open from June 16–19. Following a thrilling final round, Michael Campbell won, followed by Tiger Woods in second place. It was even more spectacular since Woods and Mickelson, archrivals, were vying for the trophy.

At the US Open, Phil Mickelson has finished second a record six times. However, Tiger Woods won the title at the 2005 tournament.

The fans were not prepared for Tiger Woods and Nelly Korda to collaborate! Although Woods’ 2024 season hasn’t begun yet, his supporters are holding their breath in anticipation of seeing him play at the Genesis Invitational. Nelly Korda, on the other hand, is off to the ideal start in 2024. Enjoying her free time, she just won the LPGA Drive-On Championship.

Nonetheless, the two famous golfers have teamed up for a TaylorMade commercial. The high point of this partnership was when Woods requested a particularly particular shot from Korda! The LPGA Tour golfer was questioned by the 48-year-old, “Can you hit that little kisser cut out there?” The fans of both golf stars have found amusement in this request.

In addition to Woods and Korda, other well-known golfers involved in the TaylorMade partnership included Tommy Fleetwood, Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy, and Scottie Scheffler, among many others. They were all divided into two teams: the Internationals and the USA. What made the fans laugh the most, though, was the playful banter between Tiger Woods and Nelly Korda.

Fans have already shown their affection for these two on previous occasions, and this is most definitely not the last! TaylorMade has a history of bringing together the golfers it sponsors. The golf company most recently brought in Fleetwood, Korda, Scheffler, and McIlroy to introduce them to Santa Claus for the holiday season.

To everyone’s surprise, however, the great golfer himself was portraying Santa. He appeared to be wearing black sunglasses, a mustache, and a long white beard. The task for the other players was to don Santa costumes and wrap some gifts using TaylorMade products.

The previous year, Tiger Woods was photographed blowing a horn and the others were singing along when the foursome was spotted in a choir. Though they have included many such sketches for the amusement of the audience, this time they are introducing something more focused on sports.

On the greens, they were observed engaging in a range of sports. When it is completely published, it will be intriguing to see what the TaylorMade collaboration has in store for fans. Fans can appreciate Woods’ special request to Nelly Korda in the interim.

After 54 holes, the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am came to an unexpected conclusion! Wyndham Clark, Ludvig Aberg, and Matthieu Pavon all achieved podium finishes despite the event being cut short. For Aberg, this was particularly significant because he was getting close to a lesser-known record that Tiger Woods had established back in his very early career.

The Swedish golfer settled for a runner-up position after finishing one stroke behind Clark. He currently ranks 11th in OWGR, indicating that this accomplishment increased it. Regretfully, it was insufficient to beat the 48-year-old’s record. Aberg went up against Woods to see who could become the world’s fastest golfer to hit rank 11 after going pro since OWGR’s founding.

The 15-time major winner still holds the record for most competitions attended (17). After eighteen events, Ludvig Aberg managed to secure the eleventh position, finishing in second place once more. Though Aberg still has a ways to go before he can be considered as great as the legendary golfer, many have been reminded of Woods’s formative years by his debut. The Swedish golfer has even outperformed the 48-year-old in several areas!

The Swedish golfer has exceeded everyone’s expectations since going pro in 2023. It is inevitable to draw similarities with the greatest players in the game. A pro on the PGA Tour observed him play and remarked, “I didn’t really know who he was.” He was the next f—ing Tiger Woods, I thought after we played six holes together.

Similar to his first competition, Aberg finished higher than Woods. On his debut, he placed 25th, whereas the renowned golfer started out in 60th place. In addition, the 24-year-old made his Ryder Cup 2023 debut for the European squad, making history as the first player to participate in the biennial competition without participating in any majors. Remarkably, he went on to win the competition in his very first year as a professional.

When comparing the first two seasons, Tiger Woods’s record is rather self-explanatory. Of the eight tournaments he participated in, he took first place in two, five finished in the top five, and seven in the top 25. Conversely, Ludvig Aberg participated in four DP World Tour events and thirteen PGA Tour events during his first season. On both Tours, he managed to score a maiden victory! In addition, he achieved three top-25 results on the DP World Tour and eight top-25 finishes on the PGA Tour.

 

Tiger Woods has an unending passion for the game of golf. In addition to his nearly three-decade career as a professional golfer, he has shown his enthusiasm in the game through the years through his passion for golf course design. It could be said that Woods regrets creating nine magnificent courses. Why? due to Buncombe County in North Carolina, which he originally thought would be the ideal location for TGR Designs!

Woods applied for the position to be TGR’s first project seventeen years ago. But for a variety of reasons, things didn’t work out. His tumultuous and well-publicized divorce from his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, was also one of them. Twenty years later, that dashed golf dream has resurfaced in the spotlight and may come to haunt the golf legend as it does the rest of the golf world.

19 million. All of that is required to possess Woods’ ideal site for one of his classes. The 840-acre property finally found a buyer in 2019 after the project’s failure owing to his then-marriage issues, the ups and downs of the real estate market, and the Great Recession. For $15.5 million, a group of investors from South Carolina bought the location. They now want to sell a portion of it.

According to recent rumors, the owners want to sell the 550 acres of land for 19 million dollars to spendthrift buyers. Given that someone might have still purchased and constructed a course there, this in and of itself might not have caused problems for golf enthusiasts, but the sellers’ question does.

According to Collin O’Berry, a co-listing agent for the property, they are searching for “either a family compound or a collection of families coming together to build very private houses.” “We are depending on someone appreciating the setting and desiring seclusion.”

According to O’Berry, the land appears to be moving toward a family-friendly or even private setting. As a result, golf enthusiasts may now officially bid farewell to their dreams of a TGR-designed course at the area. And this day might not have come if Woods and Nodegreng’s marital problems hadn’t arisen.

Although the collapse of the real estate market and other circumstances undoubtedly had an impact on the 15-time major winner’s business choice, it was timed to exactly coincide with Woods’ marital troubles. His problems had taken a toll on him on the course, ending his winning run and even prompting him to take a vacation from the game. Therefore, it wouldn’t be surprising if his business side of things suffered as well.

Owner of Golf USA Robert Green agreed, saying, “Whether it be Tiger’s scandal or the great recession, you know, that’s understandable, but it’s a shame it never happened,” while expressing his sadness over what transpired with the Asheville-based golf club.

It will soon be nearly three months since Tiger Woods last participated in a competitive match! The 48-year-old was last observed taking part in the Hero World Challenge in December 2023. However, after his break from Nike, he most likely entered a state of recuperation or was engaged organizing something significant. Even if the great player is no longer on the greens, he is still regarded as a formidable opponent!

And the reason for this is because in the past, he rose to the top quite quickly. The 48-year-old’s admirers think he’ll accomplish it all over again once he gets back on the greens, which should happen shortly. A five-time PGA Tour winner just confirmed the fans’ belief!

Every golf enthusiast is aware of Woods’ absolute supremacy in the sport. He used to hold the number one position all the time and remained there for a record 683 weeks. However, the American golfer’s left knee and Achilles tendon sustained a slight injury in 2011. As a result, he missed a few events, and Luke Donald took first place.

But the five-time PGA Tour winner wasn’t sugarcoated when it came to how Woods reclaimed his position. He recalled it thus way: “Tiger [Woods] wasn’t at his strongest.” Even though he was ranked nine or ten and had problems, he was making a comeback to the game.

Woods had just breaking into the top 10 at the time Donald claimed to be in the lead. But Tiger Woods was already in the top 5 when he lost the top place! However, Rory McIlroy secured the top spot, denying Woods the position for the second consecutive year. But the 15-time major winner proved why he is the greatest in the sport by winning the top spot the very next year!

Even Donald said that one should use the opportunity to take the top place because Woods will eventually reclaim it. Even though he is a top golfer, Woods is currently bothered by his ailments. He made a pledge to his supporters during his much awaited comeback that he would participate in one event per month. The golf community is eager to see him return to the course in February, even if he hasn’t yet graced the greens.

Tiger Woods sponsors two events, the Genesis Invitational being one where he is probably going to compete. The Riviera Golf Club will host the event from February 15 to February 18. In addition, it will be his first appearance on the PGA Tour in 2024. The 48-year-old’s presence at important events will also be a source of pride for the golf community. He already has lifetime exemptions to the PGA Championship and the Masters.

He has till he turns 60 to compete at The Open. However, Woods will not be excused from playing in the aforementioned major tournament for the first time in 2024 at the US Open. The 82-time PGA Tour champion will probably have to wait to compete at Pinehurst unless the USGA grants him an exemption.

 

Would you heed Greg Norman’s counsel if you could receive it? Tiger Woods, that is. When Woods and Norman were just starting out in their careers, they were thought to be competitors. However, the CEO of LIV Golf made an intriguing and practical financial recommendation that would have helped Woods maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Traveling is a crucial component of the profession for golfers, in addition to competing on the course! Claude Harmon revealed the incident and the travel challenges that a professional has throughout their busy business on his podcast, Son of a Butch.

The podcast host discussed with LIV golfer Richard Bland how traveling wears on players because they do it multiple times a season. When Claude Harmon’s father, Claude Harmon, was working with Greg Norman, Claude Harmon remembered that Norman had given Tiger Woods advice on how to resolve the problem of being able to spend more time with his family.

Harmon pointed out that the PGA Tour now uses private jets almost exclusively. However, “from Jack Nicklaus” it was learned. In addition, he tallied all the greats, saying that “Nicklaus had his own jet.” Palmer owned a private aircraft. Greg has a personal jet. Thus, Norman advised Woods to “invest in private jet travel, especially in America” since he was transitioning into a professional.

The 24-time PGA Tour winner gave the advise because he believed that using a private plane would help him “have a family one day” and would enable him to “get a night at home.” He also discussed the impact that spending time with family has on a golfer’s mentality.

Harmon brought up the fact that, despite appearances, being a professional golfer is a difficult and hard job. Speaking on the pricey private jet travel, Harmon outlined the reasons investing in one was crucial.

According to Harmon, “the reset that it gives you is enormous” when a golfer is able to spend even a few hours with their family and sleep in their own. As Harmon is a top instructor for most pros and has worked with players like Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, Rickie Fowler, and many more, he typically travels with golfers. In his most recent podcast, he provided some insight into the life of a golfer.
