World No 2 Rory McIlroy has signed a long-term extension to his contract with Nike ahead of this week’s US Masters at Augusta National.
“Looking forward to the next 10+ years as a @nike athlete,” the Northern Irishman said on his verified Twitter account.
The world’s biggest sportswear maker said last August that it would stop selling golf equipment – including clubs, golf balls and bags – to focus on footwear, apparel with the familiar swoosh logo and partnering more golfers.
