With the exception of Tiger Woods, what put Nike on the map? Can anyone remember the first clubs they put out that were relevent? I was having trouble thinking about this?
 
There was Nike golf before Tiger?? :confused2: I can't think of anything either. I was still young when Tiger came on the scene so I can't really be of much help. I know my cousin really liked their golf balls when he first started playing.

There was no Nike Golf before Tiger, but I remember at the beginning, the clubs were not a huge success. I am wondering when they became a big hit. What club was it or iron set that made people start to like them.
 
Honestly, the first Nike's I can remember, were just a few years ago when they launched the Slingbacks. They were pretty revolutionary.

I'm told that Tiger didn't even really play Nike's for a while, he played Miura's (he did this with Titleist as well I believe)
 
Probably when they brought Tom Stites on board and he started getting his first designs to market.

But I'm just guessing.
