Tiger Woods and Nike was a partnership for a lifetime until it wasn’t

Woods will show up in Los Angeles for the first time without a swoosh to be found. At least the Sunday shirt will be red.

Woods and Nike were partners from the time he stepped to a podium at the Greater Milwaukee Open in August 1996, a 20-year-old fresh off his unprecedented third straight US Amateur title.
