BEAVERTON, Ore. (April 9, 2003) - Curiosity about what Tiger Woods
will wear during the Major Championships seems to grow every year. As
Woods chases history this weekend, vying for his third-straight Masters
Championship, interest is at an all-time high. Whether Woods adds this
record to his long list of achievements has yet to be seen, but Nike
Golf's performance apparel and footwear guarantees that he will remain
comfortable and look great throughout the process.
If the rains persist this week, Nike Golf's short-sleeve rain shirt,
which Woods unveiled at the 2002 U.S. Open, may get a lot of television
time. Sunshine, however would be a welcome change.
Two items that Woods will debut this week are Nike Golf's new Dri-FIT
Microfibre Pant, the first Dri-FIT application for golf pants, and the
new Deep Red shade on Sunday, replacing the Chianti shade of red that
he has worn on Sundays for the past two years.
A look ahead at the four days of The Masters Championship for Tiger
Woods:
