Hi
Arnie
I'm surprised he
didn't opt for Nike 3 to PW and keep his existing Titleist 2
iron.
Then Titleist
could say Tiger plays their woods, irons, wedges and putter.
Thanks

forged-blade irons. Woods, who had been using Titleist forged blades for
several years, will put the Nike clubs (2-iron through PW) into play at
the American Express World Golf Championships at Mount Juliet GC in
Ireland this weekend.
Woods will continue to carry a pair of Titleist Vokey wedges, a Titleist
970 Series 3-wood and a Scotty Cameron by Titleist putter. Woods put
Nike's Titanium Forged driver in his bag earlier this year at the Pebble
Beach event.
According to a source familiar with the situation, Woods made the
decision to switch after two weeks of testing at his home course,
Isleworth G & CC, in Orlando. According to Tom Stites, Nike's chief
designer, the process of building a set of clubs for Tiger started more
than 18 months ago and required the creation of more than a dozen
prototype sets.
"It was a steady, long process," Stites said. "Tiger has a keen eye. He
takes into account how a club looks in the playing position, how it
engages the dirt and moves through different kinds of turf, how it feels,
how the ball flies. We had to go through those things on every iron in the
bag."
Every customer will now want the same clubs "off the rack". Are you ready for the onslaught? I bet my clubs won't fit him.
