Tiger Woods, the renowned American professional golfer, is set to launch a new clothing line named “Sunday Red” or “SDR” in partnership with TaylorMade. This collaboration marks the end of Woods’ 27-year association with Nike, as announced in January. During an upcoming press conference, Woods will unveil all the details of this exciting venture, which he refers to as “a new chapter” in his career.
The official debut of the clothing line will take place from February 15th to 18th at Pacific Palisades, California, during the Genesis Invitational. This PGA Tour event will also mark Woods’ return to competitive golf. The color red, which symbolizes Sunday and has been a signature of Woods’ attire in final rounds of major tournaments, will continue to play a prominent role in his new commercial endeavor.
Woods, born on December 30, 1975, has achieved exceptional success in the sport of golf. He shares the record for the most PGA Tour wins and ranks second in men’s major championships. Additionally, Woods holds numerous golfing records and is widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers in history. He has been honored as an inductee of the World Golf Hall of Fame.
After a remarkable junior, college, and amateur golf career, Woods turned professional at the age of 20 in 1996. Within a short period, he had already secured three PGA Tour victories and his first major win at the 1997 Masters, where he triumphed by an astonishing 12 strokes, setting a new record.
In June 1997, less than a year after turning pro, Woods became the number one ranked golfer in the Official World Golf Ranking. Throughout the early 2000s, he dominated the golfing world, holding the top spot for a total of 545 consecutive weeks from August 1999 to October 2010. During this period, Woods clinched 13 major championship titles.
However, the following decade of Woods’ career was marred by personal challenges and injuries. He took a hiatus from professional golf in 2009 to address marital issues. Subsequent injuries, particularly to his back, resulted in multiple surgeries between 2014 and 2017, significantly impacting his ability to compete. As a result, Woods experienced a considerable decline in his world ranking, dropping out of the top 1,000 golfers between August 2015 and January 2018.
Despite these obstacles, Woods made a remarkable comeback, gradually reclaiming his position as one of the sport’s top players. He marked his return to form with a victory at the Tour Championship in September 2018, his first tournament win in five years. In 2019, Woods achieved an extraordinary triumph at the Masters, securing his first major title in 11 years.
