A person’s firsts are engraved in their memory forever. It is alleged that Charlie Woods is now a part of Greyson’s pack. This is Junior Woods’s first deal, and surely it’ll remain close to his heart. This has also drawn the golf fraternity’s attention to his father’s first deal, which undoubtedly played an important role in his life.

Tiger Woods’s first brand collaboration was with Nike, his controversial partner of almost three decades. As the golf town gets bombarded with rumors of a possible split between the two giants, a deep dive into the two would reveal how it all started.

Rewinding the reels of history on Tiger Woods’s and Nike’s meet-cute
It all started when Tiger Woods turned pro at the age of 20 and took over the golf world with his calculated drives. Nike was not far behind in spotting this talent and shortly signed a deal that would later translate into one of golf’s most lucrative endorsement contracts with the emerging star. This is when the decades-long relationship between the two sports giants took off.

Their first encounter was when Phil Knight, the then-CEO of Nike, signed a $40 million five-year contract with the then-turned-pro at the age of 20. What followed were several contracts that were renewed and renegotiated over the decades. During all those years of collaboration between the two, Nike has reportedly paid $500 million to the five-time major champion.

However, things do not seem to be as jolly as this almost dreamy story between Nike and Tiger Woods, which has hit a bumpy road. Speculations of a possible split have engulfed the golf world in the last few months. The golf world then took the fifteen-time major winner’s son, Charlie Woods, not following in his father’s footsteps with a grain of salt.

As the 14-year-old sensation goes on to have signed his first deal more than half a decade before his father did, his ‘ditching Nike’ move has added fire to the fuel of a predicted split between his father and the billion-dollar market giant. But who exactly welcomed CW to the Greyson pack and became the Phil Knight of his success story?

Charlie Woods gets welcomed to Greyson Clothiers.
Junior Woods was recently welcomed to the Greyson Clothiers family by Larry Fitzgerald, one of the most valuable people on board with the brand. The NFL sensation posted the news of Tiger Woods’s son joining the pack on his Instagram account, which then led to a series of speculations in the golf world.

Even though Charlie Woods has not formally commented on the matter, Greyson Clothiers, a brand with a vision to create a fusion between fashion and functionality, has affirmed Fitzgerald’s proclamation by reposting a welcome to Charlie Woods. However, the post was later deleted, leaving the entire golf world to make wild guesses!

Ever since Tiger Woods made his triumphant return from his sabbatical, he has consistently found himself in the media spotlight, with each instance capturing public attention for various reasons. The most recent being about his probable fallout with Nike. But amidst the Nike-Woods chaos, Charlie Woods’s alleged Greyson deal has stolen the limelight. The spotlight on Woods Jr., stealing the show at a mere 14 years old, paints a bigger picture.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Charlie, at just 14 years old, has probably signed a deal with Greyson Clothiers. He was welcomed into the Greyson Clothiers family by famous NFL player Larry Fitzgerald, who posted the news of Woods Jr. joining the pack on his Instagram account.

Adding fuel to this already heated situation is the intriguing detail from last week’s PNC Championship: while the five-time Masters winner adorned himself in Nike attire, Charlie sported garments from Greyson Clothiers. The timing of this apparel contrast is noteworthy, given that Tiger’s longstanding deal with Nike was set to conclude over the weekend following the father-son joint participation in the PNC Championship.

However, the most significant twist unfolded within hours after midnight, as Tiger’s Nike contract officially expired, marking a pivotal moment for Charlie, who promptly inked his first major sponsorship deal with Greyson. Notably, with his deal with the clothing brand, Charlie has outshined his father by almost 7 years! The 82x PGAT winner signed with Nike when he was 21, unlike Charlie, who bagged his first endorsement at just 14 years old.

Along with a passion for golf, Charlie Woods has also inherited a unique sense of style from his father. The 15-time major champion is one of those rare golfers who is not only excellent on the field but also has a huge following for his style.
