We are just about a month away from a bit of a dubious anniversary. Nike Golf closed their doors as the apparel company did away with equipment and golf balls from their lineup. Instead focusing on apparel and footwear.
Looking back at their lineup of equipment over their bold and quick tenure, what was your favorite?
I think if Nike was doing Callaway business they would still be in the golf equipment business. They were doing way less than that though.

The Covert 2.0 Tour woods and hybrids looked sooooo good!
I had 3 CPR hybrids in my bag at one point and they were by far my favourite clubs. To this day I’m not sure why I ever got rid of them…
Bought irons for my oldest son when a junior – Slingshots and Hybrid
I played the Original SQ Driver for a year. It sounded better than the second version, which was a real trash can…
Nike bags are decent but they still make those so I guess I’m not missing anything haha.
Firt "real" driver I ever bought.
Still have my set of those. I need to break them out for sh!ts and giggles.
the nike ball was just Bridgestone though
I don’t know if was “just” a Bridgestone. But it was made by Bridgestone.
Ok, it was a Bstone with a Nike logo
maybe.. I don’t know..
Yeah Jordan Brand sold more than Callaway, Acushnet, and TaylorMade combined last year. That includes all the other stuff those companies make like FootJoy, Travis Matthew, KJUS, etc. That was a record year for golf. Jordan Brand is about 10% of Nike’s total business.
I also have a Method Concept and a Mc04w that I love to play around with in my basement putting green. Always enjoyed that insert in those putters.
I wish more than anything they made those in LH. I would purchase them from you in a heartbeat lol
Very rarely did I see Nike clubs in the bags of people I was paired with… the golfing public simply wasn’t buying into their marketing hype and the hideous driver and fairway colour schemes.
Surprisingly, even today I still see a lot Nike balls still being played or found in the bushes. That shows you the amount of golf ball inventory they had when they shut things down back then.
