Nike Inc. will launch new golf clubs that are not directly linked to Tiger Woods. Instead, Nike said its Victory Red STR8-FIT Tour fairway woods, which will go on
sale Jan. 28 for $299, were designed with input from all 13 U.S. golf
endorsers.
Promotional materials make no mention of Woods, whose tradition of
wearing red shirts on the final day of golf tournaments inspired the
Victory Red name, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The materials note that the clubs were tested in tournament play by
Lucas Glover, who claimed his first major victory last year when he won
the U.S. Open Championship.
