Tiger Woods has ended his 27-year partnership with Nike.

Woods, 48, has been sponsored by the global sports brand since turning professional in 1996.

He went on to win 15 Major championships, most recently securing a fifth Masters in 2019.

The golf great said on social media: "Over 27 years ago, I was fortunate to start a partnership with one of the most iconic brands in the world.

"The days since have been filled with so many amazing moments and memories, if I started naming them, I could go on forever.

"Phil Knight's passion and vision brought this Nike and Nike Golf partnership together and I want to personally thank him, along with the Nike employees and incredible athletes I have had the pleasure of working with along the way.

"People will ask if there is another chapter. Yes, there will certainly be another chapter."

Woods signed off his post by saying "See you in LA!" suggesting he will take part in the PGA Tour's Genesis Invitational event next month.

His most recent appearance on the course came last November after a seven-month injury lay-off.

Nike also posted on social media to confirm the end of their work with Woods, simply saying "It was a hell of a round, Tiger".

Their 10-year deal signed with the Californian in 2013 was said to be a reported £157million but the brand stopped their line of golf equipment in 2016.

Woods had previously enjoyed his own clothing line, which sported the Nike logo alongside his own TW logo.
