I stand at least partially corrected, from Nike Golf:

 

"Different elements of each club come from different parts of the world. The heads are forged in Thailand, China and Japan. The shafts are made in the United States, Japan and China. The grips are made in the U.S., China, and Taiwan. Everything is assembled in plants in the U.S., Japan, and China."

 

Regardless of it's country of origin, it will be built to proper spec and subject to Nike QC.  Nike clubs always seemed high quality in fit/finish but overpriced to me, and I never saw them marked down very much.  However about the time of Tiger's misadventures I started to see better deals on them.  At the first of the year I picked up a VR-S 4 wood new for $50.  Alas, Nebraska winters can be frustrating for golfers.  I've only had it out for 2 rounds and was dressed heavily, so far it feels like a good fit.
