This weekend's action at the PNC Championship was highlighted by the heartfelt moments shared by Tiger Woods and his two children. It is always good to see the iconic athlete back on the golf course, and even more intriguing to see what footwear brand he has on his feet.

Once again, Woods wore FootJoy golf shoes (more information on the exact pair below). This is not a surprise, as the 47-year-old has worn the Massachusetts-based brand's footwear since the 2022 Masters Tournament. However, rumors about Woods' partnership with Nike continue to swirl. Woods has been a Nike athlete since 1996 and has signed multiple contract extensions over the years. His last deal, a 10-year, $200 million contract extension, was signed in 2013.

Woods continues to wear his signature apparel when competing but refrained from providing much of an answer when asked about the future of his Nike partnership. During his press conference after the PNC Championship, Woods simply said, "I’m still wearing their product." Below is what athletes and fans must know about Woods' preferred golf shoes.

Woods wore the FootJoy Premiere Series Packard golf shoes in an all-white colorway at the PNC Championship. Athletes can purchase the exact same style or choose a different colorway for $200 in adult sizes on the FootJoy website.

According to FootJoy's product description, the model sports a "hand-selected, premium full grain leather from Pittards... Calfskin leather detailing delivers an iconic look for players with a discerning sense of style." Meanwhile, the VersaTrax+ outsole is engineered with traction elements to create an outsole that is perfect for on-course performance. Lastly, the OrthoLite EcoPlush Fit-Bed ensures all-day underfoot comfort.

Athletes and fans who want to relive Woods' glory days with the Swoosh can shop his retro footwear and current apparel line on the Nike website. With the future of Woods' business relationship with Nike unclear, this is sure to be one of the most significant footwear stories to follow in 2024.
