Tiger Woods’s Son Charlie Might Have a New Apparel Partner—And It’s Not Nike

The development further fueled speculation that the elder Woods is parting ways with Nike.

It appears that Tiger Woods’s 14-year-old son Charlie has a potential apparel partnership in the works with Greyson Clothiers, the golf clothing company most notably worn by Justin Thomas.

Over the weekend, Woods and his son competed in their fourth consecutive PNC Championship. While the 15-major champion sported his iconic Nike swoosh-adorned scripting—including his signature Sunday red polo—the high school freshman seemed to be subtly sporting Greyson half-zips and shirts. 

The brand’s wolf emblem appeared on the back of Charlie’s collar during the tournament’s final round. Team Woods competed alongside Thomas and his father Mike during Round 1, who were also decked out in Greyson. It’s well-documented that the Thomases and Woodses have a close off-course relationship. 

Although the branding was already quite obvious, an unexpected individual seemed to reference a potential partnership between Charlie and Greyson in a social media post. Larry Fitzgerald, the former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver and avid golfer, re-shared a photo of the teen wearing Greyson on his Instagram story on Sunday evening.

“Welcome to the @greysonclothiers family, Charlie,” Fitzgerald wrote. 

The NFL legend added a “#greysonpartner” hashtag, which denotes his own sponsorship with the golf brand. Fitzgerald’s team confirmed the meaning of the hashtag with Sports Illustrated. 

Charlie is not listed as a Greyson ambassador on the brand’s website, but the company posted several photos of him wearing the apparel.

It is only natural that Charlie’s Greyson attire added fuel to the recent rumors that the elder Woods, 47, is nearing the end of his contract with Nike. 

The possibility of the Nike split was first reported on the No Laying Up podcast. Many are speculating that the PNC Championship could have been Woods’s last event with the sportswear giant. But when reporters asked the five-time Masters champion about his sponsorship at the PNC, he made it clear that it wasn’t something he wanted to discuss.  

“I’m still wearing their product,” Woods said in response to a question about the “chatter” surrounding his decades-long Nike deal.

When asked a follow up question, Woods again fired back: “I’m still wearing their product.” 

The state of Woods’s contract with Nike has been a hot topic in recent years, ever since he arrived at the 2022 Masters wearing FootJoy golf shoes for the first time in his career. Woods went on the record saying that the shoes offered the best support for his recovering right ankle, which he badly injured in a 2021 car crash. 

“Just with the rods and plates and screws that are in my leg, I needed something different, something that allowed me to be more stable,” Woods said at the time. 

Nike came out in support of the health-related decision. 

“As he continues his return, we will work with him to meet his new needs,” the company wrote. 

It is unclear whether Woods will indeed split from Nike, but there is no question that Charlie’s Greyson apparel is an intriguing development.
