People have speculated that it is possible with talks of buying Taylormade or what's left of Nike.

Hopefully he's smarter than that. Golf equipment is a terrible business.

Wondering if there will be golf clubs or golf balls in his line.

He would be a fool to try and compete with clubs and balls!
But Is there a market for TW apparel as well?
Would one not think he would have to play and rank well to continue to remain relevant to those who would purchase his stuff?

In my Grom:

Driver-Taylormade 10.5 Woods- Taylomade 3 wood, taylormade 4 Hybrid
Irons- Callaway Big Berthas 5i - GW Wedges- Titles Volkey  Putter- Odyssey protype #9
Ball- Bridgestone E6
All grips Golf Pride

There was the rumor that he was in the the market to buy Taylor Made. I don't think he would start a new line of clubs/balls, but I could see him buying TM and incorporating into TGR. ???

Tiger already has a name. I don't think he has to prove anything else on the course to be successful in the golf biz. His name is already up there with Jack and Arnie.

But after each passing generation, his name is just a name. And his legacy is simply history.

Look at Walter Hagen as an example. Used to have clubs, now he is just a name on shirts & umbrellas!

True, but that won't be for many years. To your point, if he comes back and surpasses Jack in majors won, his legacy will be even greater. As far as his products, I'm not someone who buys a product because of endorsements or ownership, but there are many who do.

Greg Norman's clothing line still sells.

Jack Nicklaus has his bear logo, Palmer, the multicolored umbrella. Woods has this? Can this be any more star chamber corporate clinical and cold? What are those? Pine trees? Claws? Yeah, I read the description, I see the W, but that's what people are going to ask.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

When I saw that "TGR", the first thing I thought was "Teton Gravity Research" which is a skiing outfit.

the logo, much like Tiger is Cold, can be viewed 2 ways (much like his personal/professional life) and utter baffling in its awfulness!!

It wouldn't surprise me if he came out with a boutique set of clubs or if he does invest in Taylormade, have them make a "Tiger" line of equipment. There still are people who will buy all his apparel at double cost because of his logo and mimic his bag setup just because of the name.

It's a few possible images in one. A 'negative' W (possibly with very abstract upside-down T's), Tiger stripes, claws, or as Tiger said 'trees, I've been known to hit into a few'. Visually, it's a little dull, but I bet it's pretty inexpensive to reproduce / print.

When I saw the three letter acronym, I thought of a stock ticker label. Wonder if he's got a long-term goal to go public? Don't know how that could work with the charitable organization side of things, though.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By StuM ·

      I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...

      Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target.

      Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver.
