Nike does very well in the apparel market, and appears to have their piece of that pie.<\/p>\n<p>With apparel sales doing so well, will Nike give clubs and balls another go? As of right now, Nike has no designs on returning to the club making game. But one can certainly hold out hope!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nike_Irons_History\"><\/span>Nike Irons History<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Nike entered the golf world nearly two decades before they made a single club. Starting with what they still make today. Apparel. Seve Ballesteros and Curtis Strange were the first golfers on the payroll with Nike.<\/p>\n<p>Not until 2002 did Nike venture into the club making space\u2026 releasing the original Forged Blades. That same year Tiger Woods put a full Nike bag in play and won his first tournament with the new clubs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/products\/nike-sq-sumo-iron-set\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swingyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nike-Sumo.jpg\" alt=\"Nike Sumo\" width=\"500\" height=\"311\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swingyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nike-Sumo.jpg 500w, https:\/\/swingyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nike-Sumo-300x187.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The beginning of the end with Nike golf is when their leading man, their highest paid golfer, Tiger Woods, stopped playing Nike clubs in 2013. This brought to question if Nike could compete with the big three (Callaway, TaylorMade, and Titleist).<\/p>\n<p>Three years later, in 2016 Nike stopped making clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Nike irons, even years after production, found themselves in the bags of some great players. Tony Finau, Brooks Koepka, and Tommy Fleetwood famously used Nike clubs beyond 2016.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/products\/nike-vapor-pro-combo-iron-set\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/swingyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nike-Vapor-Pro-Combo.jpg\" alt=\"Nike Vapor Pro Combo\" width=\"1280\" height=\"700\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4937\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swingyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nike-Vapor-Pro-Combo.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/swingyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nike-Vapor-Pro-Combo-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/swingyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nike-Vapor-Pro-Combo-1024x560.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/swingyard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Nike-Vapor-Pro-Combo-768x420.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mostly because us golfers are finicky with our equipment.
