I think I saw a TV program where they found that Escalade for sale from the next owner after Tiger. It might have been on Fast and Loud or something.... Window was broken, no point Tiger keeping that....

Irony is, it is normally the launch of a new range that prompts the discounting

I think it's a shame, but business is business. I personally have used Nike in the past and enjoyed doing so, however, I glad they're keeping the clothing line.

Adidas also looking to sell their stake in TaylorMade and Adams and concentrating on just clothing and apparel.
Wonder who will buy TM and if they will remain

Read that earlier and was going to start a seperate golf blog. The thing that's makes me smile about it is that America has lost 4 million golfers in X number of years, but some golf courses charge a fortune. Do they not realise golf is in a slump.
Nike and adidas have now realised that golfers will change t shirts clothing etc every year, but not there golf clubs. Er what planet do they live, on. It is stated that golf is still mainly played by middle aged white men. Yup that's me, but middle aged white men have had to flog there gut off for the best part of thirty years and appreciate the cost of anything. There is not a cat in hells chance of me buying new bats every year.
Now another thing which woody has picked up on is who is goin to buy TM, adidas cannot make a go of it with all their billions, so who can.

Ditto this, and also Nike and all the other top brands top prices for a t shirt. Just pop along to their clearance places. Cheap as chips !
It is not necessarily that they can't make money at it but they can make better margins and greater amounts of money by concentrating on their core businesses of shoes and clothing. There are crossovers in shoes and clothes, the tech involved, across the range of sports they sell into whereas clubs alone are just for golf. They can't use the tech for other purposes. It is basically simpler for them to sell clothes and shoes so why bother fighting for the other business. A bit like the 80-20 rule.

2, glad Nike are still making golf clothing, it's cheap as chips in the sales end of season ðŸ˜
3, every cloud and that 😜

I wonder how much they actually make themselves. Highly likely the clubs and ball manufacturing are outsourced out to a specialist somewhere so it's going to be the development and marketing people in Nike who will be made redundant.
Suspect the biggest "victims" will be their tour pros who won't be able to get the levels of sponsorship as the remaining manufacturers will get increased power.
