Tiger Woods has long been associated with the Nike swoosh but he’s been quick to move on since the leading American brand announced it’s withdrawal from the golf hardware scene, as the 14 time Major champion has just signed a multi-year golf ball deal with Bridgestone. With adidas looking to sell and and Titleist just being launched on the stock exchange Bridgestone was probably the only serious ball manufacturer that could afford Tiger on their books.
“Finding the right golf ball is extremely important. It’s an essential part of my equipment, and the Bridgestone B330-S ball is hands-down the best for my game,” Woods said in a press release. “Controlling launch and trajectory is critical, and with this ball I feel I have total control to hit all shots accurately. I’m not just here to play – I’m here to win, and the innovative breakthroughs of the Bridgestone B330-S ball can help me do that.”
Woods began using Bridgestone’s B330-S ball earlier this month at the Hero World Challenge, marking the first time since 2000 that he’s played something other than a Nike ball in competition.
The next phase of in the bag interest will be to see what he opts to play under contract and not as a free agent.
