Interesting choice. I wonder what swayed him in that direction.

Nike/TM crossover. Find your game, just do it!

Woods will use a 2016 TaylorMade M2 driver (Tensei White 70X shaft), a 2017 M2 13-degree fairway wood (Tensei White 90X shaft) and a 2017 M1 19-degree fairway wood (Tensei White 90X shaft).

Woods, 41, makes his 2017 debut this week at the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego.

And we have a commercial

That is so weird, seeing the Nike logo in an ad for an Adidas owned company. It's also the most prominent logo in the ad.

Why is M capitalized in FaMily? The model name of the driver, M I guess.

There have been lots of other rumors that Nike would buy TaylorMade...after they killed their equipment division.  If that were to happen I would have thought they would have bought them before that and taken the best of both equipment groups.  Probably end up keeping the TM branding for equipment but Nike for clothes (exactly what Tiger is doing now.)  Of course, it's hard to imagine Nike using anything other than their brand.  In the golf world, though, it wasn't very strong when it came to equipment.

Weird for sure.  I think there is more to come with TM.

Yeah, I'm sure Taylor Made would've preferred to have him wear blank clothes if he could have.

Nike does that from time to time though. For awhile Bauer was owned by Nike, but was still known as Bauer (or Nike Bauer).

The Taylormade M family of woods just got Woods-ier.

Tiger swings from today! Lots of good stuff here.

Same thing with Converse, they're owned by Nike.

Gosh that's pretty. I think this kid has a future.

[iacas]

Hmmm. Not a huge fan of 6-8. Looks "flippier" than I remember and looks like it goes left faster than it has.

Ha, maybe I'm just so used to having low expectation when we see these updates.

What I like from previous swings a year or two ago, looks like he's dragging the handle much less on the downswing. I think it may look flippy because his body just can't support the "arm carry" the way it use to.

Looks good to me. I hope he can get through the next month and a half. I feel like this is a huge hurdle for him.

Do you see what I meant, though? Particularly the first video DTL view.

For all we know he was trying to hit a big cut or something.

His swing is reminding me of Louis Oosthuizen.

Can't wait to watch him play.

I thought it looked different too, like he was standing up quicker and throwing it out a bit, almost like he was trying to "snap" it a little through the ball maybe? I'm in no way qualified to say anything about Tigs swing btw.
