Really, why do you assume that? Why does

everyone assume that? You do realize Titleist was paying him a fortune to play their stuff back when he played it, right?

The DAY Nike signed Tiger in 2000, Nike went to work on equipment. One of the biggest and first things they did was to develop a ball for Tiger. Nike knew, as do most people, that golf ball sales are the biggest and most important for golf companies. Nike threw a ton of money to R & D a ball w/ Tiger's input on it. They basically made it specifically for him and in a way, they still do today.

Contrary to what some may believe, Tiger has used a Nike ball since 2000. No, not a ProV marked w/ a Nike logo either. (Many still believe that one) ProV is and always has been an awesome ball. But to say Tiger would rather have played (or play) a ProV over a ball basically made for him is ridiculous.

Yeah, that was more or less my point. Why would he prefer a mass market ball to a custom made one? I mean, if you had some company, even if they weren't a great company, make you a custom ball, exactly to your specs, then why would you not play it? Imagine you could have anything you could possibly dream of, no matter the price, no matter the complexity, why would you prefer a ProV1?

The fact of the matter is, that the ProV1 is more a name and a legend than an actual ball. It's pretty much the same as any other top ball out there, B330, Tour i, Penta, Z-Star, etc.

I'm sure some of the players who are sponsored by Titleist would play a Nike ball if they weren't being payed a "kazillion" also!
