Lookslike Nikes. He was testing some proto shoes last summer before a tournament that looked similar. Everyone thought it was a last ditch effort for Nike to get him back when he was wearing Footjoy, but maybe just a prototype for his eventual brand with Nike white labeling them. I'm not sure if Nike has ever done that before though.
I'm not a shoe expert but looks like rebranded Footjoys to me. It takes many months to design a shoe from the sole up and Tiger's contract with Nike just ended weeks ago so that shoe can't be 100% original.
The shoes are okish.. nike must have told him we are not creating another shoe for you because i dont get how this could be better for his feet after surgery and recovery? They must have said no and he was like o.. i see.. so did his own thing. Thats fine and all but i think the Tw logo is alot better. Maybe a TW logo with a small tiger under it would have been cool ? and still call the line SDR
Lolz at the SUN DAY Red on the pants looks pretty basura in my opinion. Shoes look solid, but laugh that Nike couldn't make one for him, but then goes with FJ and now had a TM factory make his new ones. Won't knock them all without trying though
After a run of killer Sun Day Red outfits, Tiger finished up his 2024 Masters with some Sun Day Red red. It was a nice sight to see Woods throw on his signature color at Augusta National once again, this time with his son/swing coach in tow. The black hat was on and off, depending on when you caught him and if he was waving his cap to the plethora of admiring fans or not. It's nice to see Charlie rocking the Sun Day Red hat as well.
An improvement from Saturday, the clearly-ailing Woods finished up Sunday at five over. He'll end the major at 16 over, but making the cut and playing four rounds hobbled is still quite an achivement. Until next year! Hopefully, we see more red.
We also now have a good deal of proof that TaylorMade's Sun Day Red polos can withstand a dramatic amount of sweat. That's good to know. It's getting hotter and hotter out, and our golf game is getting worse and worse.
Well ... it wasn't the best day for Tiger at Augusta National. He had his worst front nine ever at the Masters and limped his way to the finish line on Saturday. But at least he looked good? The 15-time major champ went for a white polo, black hat look today. Nice clash with the greenest green grass you ever did see.
If you're going to play 23 holes over two rounds on a single day, you're going to need multiple outfits. That's just science. Tiger Woods started the end of his Thursday round on Friday (don't think too hard about it) with the Sun Day Red/Grey light sweater. When you're paired with Jason Day's more insane looks, no need to try to match. You're just not going to. Live your best life instead.
For his second round on Friday, Woods went with the short sleeves and the lightest of purple golf shirts. Perhaps a "heather" or "periwinkle" from TaylorMade? To be fair, we pulled those color names from a Pinterest chart. Whatever the color is, Woods did more than enough to stroll into the weekend; he's one over over the first 36 holes. Now we'll see what he and Sun Day Red have planned...
After running through the gamut of black, white and blue outfits, Tiger and Sun Day Red stepped into the rest of the color spectrum with a snazzy light pink, horizontally striped polo. It's a nice start to the week and really pops when compared to the dark colors of the majority of the patrons. White hat, clean pants. Nothing crazy there. But we're (and by we, I mean me speaking in the plural first person if that's even a thing) big fans of the decision to add a bit of color to the outfit. Well done, everyone.
What do we have here but Tiger's Wednesday look? A dark blue/possibly black polo depending on what time of day it is and how close you are to the ropes. White pants and white shoes (with a brown line) to match the white Sun Day Red hat. The 48-year-old knows that the Wednesday of Masters week is not the day to go crazy. Gotta save the outfits for when it really counts.
It's a bit chilly in Augusta, GA., especially with strong winds this week, which means it's the perfect time for a pullover sweater. This Sun Day Red jumper is a calm, cool, collected gray fit with the tiger logo center-stage. It's not going to wow you, but sometimes you just need a comfortable sweater before you take on Augusta National. We're sure all of you out there know what that's like.
If your golf shoes are a little dirty, it means one of two things. You're either terrible and hacking it into all sorts of risky terrain or you're just getting your steps in walking from great shot to great shot. This is Tiger Woods we're talking about here, so we'd lean towards the latter option. We're wondering if he'll bring out the red-bottomed kicks later this week, but for now the clean black-and-white sneakers will do just fine. We also have the "SUN DAY RED" name on the pantleg, just in case you forgot.
White pullover sweater? Yes, please. Again, we've got the tiger logo perfectly placed in the front-center and the SDR acronym on the back around the uncaged animal. The man can wear a sweater. You've gotta give him that.
Here we have the patented white golf shirt with the SDR surrounding the logo once again. It's odd not seeing a swoosh across his chest, but a tiger leaping across the pecs is a solid new look. White shirt, dark pants. It's clear we haven't hit the actual event yet. This is a nice, little warm-up. Look at that smile. That's a grin that can only come with new clothes.
Well, we know he'll be able to do his on-course stretching without a problem in the new SDR material. Hopefully, we get a chance to see him rocking new TaylorMade looks over the weekend. Perhaps a red shirt on Sunday? Lord willing.
You're not supposed to wear white after Labor Day, so we're perfectly fine here. Technically, isn't it always after Labor Day? When does the "after Labor Day" time conclude? Anyway, these are questions that we'd like to think TaylorMade and Tiger Woods mulled over for hours while getting this Sun Day Red clothing line together. Comfortability, performance and Labor Day considerations. Anyway, the blue shirts are nice. Not much else to say.
Ever since I fell in love with the game of golf, the Masters has been my favorite sporting event. I've been glued to the couch on the second weekend in April since I was a teenager, witnessing moments like Jack Nicklaus' historic win in 1986 and Tiger Woods' run at four coveted green jackets.
The names of the champions may change, but the constant has always been the course at Augusta National. It's the only major played at the same venue each year - giving fans a chance to become acquainted with the various holes that make it such a challenging layout.
When I became a sportswriter - starting out at a paper in Northern California, I aspired to someday get a chance to cover the Masters. One year a NorCal golf scribe wrote about winning the annual media lottery and playing at Augusta - and my favorite line from the movie "Dumb and Dumber" popped into my head "So you're saying there's a chance?"
As a lucky winner of the media lottery, I was going to get to drive down storied Magnolia Lane and walk into the Champions locker room to change into my golf shoes and head out to the state of the art range. I actually considered renting a car, so my 2002 Honda Civic with 130,000 miles on it wouldn't taint the elegant surroundings. But my old reliable wheels took me to the clubhouse, and I walked into to the locker room where Woods and Mickelson hang out every April. I stored my shoes in the locker of two-time champ Jose Maria Olazabal.
We even had Augusta caddies carrying our bags and offering advice on how to handle the tricky, fast-paced greens. We played from the members tees of 6,365 yards, more than 1,000 yards shorter than the pros play
I hit some balls and was driving it pretty straight - until we got to the first tee. The other three in our foursome had good shots up the first fairway, but I hit a remarkable pop up that went straight left into the ninth fairway. After a triple bogey on the first, I teed it up on the second and hit the exact same shot - a feat noteworthy in itself. Meeting Kenny in the pine straw, he told me to take a deep breath and calm down, and it worked. I started playing my normal game of bogey-type golf.
One of the highlights was the par-3 fourth, when Kenny told me to hit a putt from off the green to a spot about 40 feet above the cup. I did as he told me and the ball kept trickling down until it was three feet from the hole, and I made my first par.
At the par-4 seventh, I hit one of my best drives of the day, and followed with a solid wedge onto the green. I was about 6 feet above the pin with a downhill putt. Kenny said to split the right side of the cup with my ball and hit it soft, and I made a birdie that I'm sure my family and friends will be sick of hearing about for years to come.
I had a nice shot out of the woods to make bogey on 11. On the 145-yard 12th, Rae's Creek intimidated me and I took too much club, hitting a 7-iron that went over the green - but I still managed a bogey. My favorite hole at Augusta is the dogleg left par-5 13th, and I was sitting pretty, 115 yards out for my third shot. But I dubbed an awful wedge into Rae's Creek.
I had another highlight when I parred the par-4 17th hole, hitting a putt of more than 50 feet that cozied right up to the hole. I shot 46 on the back nine, and finished with a 95. Not bad, considering how nervous I was to start the day.
Walking on the fairways of beautiful Augusta National , especially back on the 12th green and 13th tee, where spectators aren't able to go, was a surreal experience. I thought about legendary Masters champions like Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson and Arnold Palmer, who walked these same fairways. Kenny made the day even more special, with his laid-back, friendly manner and knowledge of the course.
