Tiger Woods amplifies on-course style with the launch of Sun Day Red, a new clothing line inspired by his signature championship look.
Golf icon Tiger Woods is set to redefine his iconic on-course style with the launch of Sun Day Red, a new clothing line inspired by his signature championship look, according to The Athletic. Breaking away from his long-standing association with Nike, Woods announced his partnership with TaylorMade at a recent event in Los Angeles on Feb. 12, marking a new chapter in his golf fashion journey.
While the Sun Day Red website currently lacks products for purchase, it teases a May 1 launch with a promise of golf essentials such as polos and gloves, along with a range of additional offerings like “luxury logo tees, fleece, and hats.”
The collaboration with TaylorMade aligns with Woods’ use of TaylorMade clubs since 2016, following Nike’s exit from the golf equipment market. As the golf legend transitions from the swoosh, his new clothing line introduces a distinctive jumping tiger logo crafted from dynamic squiggly lines.
Tiger Woods’ departure from Nike, with whom he had a profound association since 1996 when he signed a five-year, $40 million deal, marks a significant shift. The iconic red Nike polo, worn by Woods on countless Sundays, became synonymous with his dominance in golf. Nike later launched an apparel line featuring its logo and Woods’ signature TW logo. Over the years, Woods signed multiple lucrative deals with Nike, the most recent being a reported 10-year agreement valued at around $200 million in 2013.
Woods’ decision to part ways with Nike echoes a broader trend, with fellow golfer Jason Day also making a recent exit. The departures are particularly noteworthy in the golf apparel landscape, given Nike’s substantial influence, largely propelled by Woods’ association with the brand.
The Sun Day Red clothing line is poised to capture the essence of Tiger Woods’ enduring legacy, offering fans and golf enthusiasts an opportunity to embrace the golfing icon’s distinctive style. With the anticipated launch just around the corner, the golfing community eagerly awaits the arrival of this new chapter in Tiger Woods’ fashion evolution.
