Days after Nike ended its 27-year old iconic partnership with Tiger Woods, the apparel company announced another exciting collaboration with LIV Golf team, Smash GC, led by Brooks Koepka. After Woods’ departure, fans kept speculating who would wear the swoosh next. But it seems the confusion is clear with this Smash GC post, where a teammate can be seen wearing blue and white swoosh sneakers with the Smash GC logo.
The post also carried the caption “Smashing into 2024” declaring the partnership publicly. This collaboration might also suggest that Nike is taking an interest in LIV Golf and can sign more contracts with the league in the future. Although Jason Day left the brand before Woods, the brand still has assets like Tommy Fleetwood, Rory McIlroy, and LPGA star Nelly Korda.
As Smash GC signed with Nike, the news brought in plenty of comments from fans.
