World No.1 Jason Day has signed a contract with Nike Golf to wear its shoes and clothing next season.
The deal, which has been reported to be worth more than $10 million a year, will see the 28-year-old Australian decked out head to toe in Nike gear, although he will still be using TaylorMade golf equipment.
Day’s 10-year contract with both TaylorMade and Adidas is up at the end of the year, but he re-signed in order to continue using TaylorMade equipment. He currently uses a Taylormade M1 driver, M2 3-wood, RSi irons, TM Tour Preferred wedges, a limited edition red Spider putter and the Tour Preferred golf ball.
Adidas is currently trying to sell TaylorMade Golf, although a buyer has yet to be announced, and with Nike Golf no longer making golf equipment, it freed Day up to look for a new clothing and shoe sponsor. Day wore Nike clothing and played with its clubs before he signed with TaylorMade in 2006.
