Cink tweeted a New Years Message last night along with a picture of his new Taylor made R1 staff bag. Wonder why the switch? And I have no idea why this type of news interests me but it does. Lol

I haven't heard that rumor with Rory and Nike but I haven't been searching for it either.  As for Cink, his game has been hurting.

I thought that had moved beyond rumor to done deal no?

Yours in earnest, Jason.

It's a done deal, the ink has long dried on Rory's new contract with Nike.  He will start off the 2013 season with Nike bag and clubs.

Unless Oakley wins their lawsuit? :)

Cink?  No big loss.  He's not crucial to Nike's marketing strategy.  If you asked 100 casual golf fans, I doubt more than 10 of them even knew that Cink plays Nike gear.

According to Golf Channel Kyle Stanley and Nick Watney signed head to toe Nike deals. Also there will be a "major" announcement by Nike on Jan 14. This will no doubt be Rory to Nike Day.

I saw Stewart Cink drive out of Sugarloaf the other day while waiting to pick up my daughter.  If I hadn't, I would not have been sure he still existed.

Haven't been a fan of Cink since he gave himself a perfect lie in a "waste area" at Harbor Town. No loss to Nike.

Thanks for the link, I wasn't aware of the lawsuit.  It will be interesting to see how it goes.

If Oakley has a valid right of first refusal clause in their contract they could potentially block the deal for clothing and eyewear.  Seems the issue will be what percentage of the contract Nike assigns to clothing and eyewear and if Oakley will choose to match it.  Oakley used 33% in their calculations but I'd expect Nike would assign at least 50% to clothing given their overall market share in golf clothing and shoes is much higher compared to equipment

My guess is Nike will pay Oakley some amount of money and this will go quietly into the night. Nike has too much riding on this announcement to let a legal issue hang over it.

TM can have Baldy with my blessing but I'm seriously upset about Rob Rock.

Heck, I consider myself a pretty serious golfer, and even I didn't know Cink played Nike gear.

But then again, I don't follow who plays which equipment.  I only care about which equipment feels/plays for me.

I'm pretty sure you haven't reached superstar status (or maybe even star status) if Nike has to put your name on the poster

      Our Men's Business League Starts Tonight With an Interesting Local Rule.

      By snapfade ·

      This is the first time I have played in this league but here is an interesting local rule they use. You are allowed to move your ball one score card length in either direction to improve your lie. Scorecard has to be in the folded position though. I love beachside golf. The other rule is you got to walk unless you have a handicap placard.

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By snapfade ·

      PGAT is all about Scottie right now and rightfully so. The PGAT has it's star right now and some potential good guys hoping Scottie takes some time off.  The LIV guys are of the radar until the PGA. There will be the Rory/ Hovland rumors to keep the fire smoldering until then.  You will probably get your wish as time moves on. What I like most about LIV is they are funded by a regime that has numerous human rights violations and the players don't seem to care. The fans certainly don't seem to mind. I admit, I went to LIV Miami to check it out, it wasn't empty.  I didn't see anyone protesting.

      Hmmm, seems odd. I have ordered several things from them and have never had an issue, so I'm confident it will be resolved. I'm sending the watch back, I don't care for it, Ill just use the H4. There's nothing technically wrong with it, I just don't like it.
