LIV Golf pro posts Tiger Woods sighting as new apparel deal draws closer
LIV Golf League pro Richard Bland posts new video of Tiger Woods ahead of his PGA Tour return.
LIV Golf League pro Richard Bland has posted a new video of Tiger Woods that would appear to have all-but confirmed he will be collaborating on a new apparel partnership with TaylorMade.
Woods, 48, confirmed his shock exit from Nike after a successful 27-year partnership on 8 January 2024.
There had been rumours aplenty as to which brand Woods could end up wearing on the PGA Tour this season.
But the list now appears to have been whittled down to one.
Bland, who will compete on Martin Kaymer's Cleeks GC once again on LIV Golf in 2024, posted a video of Woods earlier today on his Instagram Story.

Although Woods is somewhat out of focus in the video, it has been observed on social media that Ollie Neglerio of TaylorMade's content team is the man close by in the video holding a camera.

It appears more than likely now that Woods' destination will be a collaboration with his equipment supplier TaylorMade.
This news was first reported by @NUCLRGOLF on Twitter.
The account, which also runs the popular Woods fan page TWLEGION on the same platform, has uncovered trademark filings that suggest the two are launching a new lifestyle brand.
Unsurprisingly, the brand will be called Sunday Red.
The name is a clear nod to the hall of famer's iconic shirt he always wears on the final day of competitions.
Woods has worn the colour religiously since partnering with Nike in 1997.
The former World No.1 is expected to compete in his first PGA Tour event of 2024 at the Genesis Invitational, a tournament his Tiger Woods Foundation hosts at famed Riviera, from 15-18 February.
