Nike Issues Statement After Tiger Woods Wears FootJoy Golf Shoes

Tiger Woods made his return to Augusta National Golf Club over the weekend to continue to prepare for a possible return to this week’s Masters.

Woods has not played in over a year following a horrific car accident that required extensive surgery to treat injuries to both of his lower legs.

Given the nature of his recovery, comfort with the golf shoes that he wears is of utmost importance as he makes his way around the golf course. On Sunday, as Woods was practicing on the driving range, reporters noticed that he was sporting FootJoy golf shoes instead of the shoes of his longtime sponsor, Nike.
