CROMWELL, CONN. – Goodbye, world … of equipment.
Almost 20 years since launching the iconic “Hello, World” ad campaign with a 20-year-old Tiger Woods, Nike is exiting the equipment industry. As of Wednesday, the mega brand will no longer be producing golf clubs, bags or balls.
Their focus, according to a news release, will be shoes and clothes.
Which leaves their tour pros, coming off of four major championships and into the Travelers Championship, scratching their headcovers.
“I can’t comment at this time,” Paul Casey, a Nike ambassador for 12 years said via text.
