Following in his father’s footsteps, Charlie, at just 14 years old, has probably signed a deal with Greyson Clothiers. He was welcomed into the Greyson Clothiers family by famous NFL player Larry Fitzgerald, who posted the news of Woods Jr. joining the pack on his Instagram account.
Adding fuel to this already heated situation is the intriguing detail from last week’s PNC Championship: while the five-time Masters winner adorned himself in Nike attire, Charlie sported garments from Greyson Clothiers. The timing of this apparel contrast is noteworthy, given that Tiger’s longstanding deal with Nike was set to conclude over the weekend following the father-son joint participation in the PNC Championship.
However, the most significant twist unfolded within hours after midnight, as Tiger’s Nike contract officially expired, marking a pivotal moment for Charlie, who promptly inked his first major sponsorship deal with Greyson. Notably, with his deal with the clothing brand, Charlie has outshined his father by almost 7 years! The 82x PGAT winner signed with Nike when he was 21, unlike Charlie, who bagged his first endorsement at just 14 years old.

Along with a passion for golf, Charlie Woods has also inherited a unique sense of style from his father. The 15-time major champion is one of those rare golfers who is not only excellent on the field but also has a huge following for his style.
Woods Sr. has surely had a good run with Nike. In his three-decade-long partnership with Nike, he has served some serious fashion goals with the brand’s apparel, especially Sunday’s red.
A look at Woods’ first brand endorsement
When Tiger Woods made his professional debut in 1996, he was already a towering figure in the golfing realm. Seizing the opportunity, Nike, which was a well-established name at the time, promptly secured Woods as its ambassador. Consequently, at the youthful age of 21, Woods signed his first endorsement with a giant brand. He received $40 million for a five-year deal. Then, he bagged $100 million to renew this deal after 5 years.
This symbiotic partnership flourished, proving mutually advantageous as both Woods and Nike reaped substantial rewards from their collaborative journey. Overall, throughout the past 27 years, the golfer has made upward of $500 million from his signings and renewals with Nike.
