Nike, with its signature swoosh, remains one of the top golf apparel companies in the United States. The company’s clothing side of the golf business was largely unaffected by a decision to halt production of clubs and balls.

By pulling out of the equipment market in 2017, Nike said it was focusing instead on its strengths, reaffirming a commitment to be the undisputed leader in golf footwear and apparel.

Golf is among the smallest categories at Nike – the world’s largest supplier and manufacturer of athletic shoes and apparel – yet the division still produces hundreds of million of dollars in revenue. It also has partnerships with many of the sport’s top professionals, including Tiger Woods, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, and Michelle Wie.

In addition to the re-focusing, Nike, in some respects, underwent a re-branding several years ago and moved in a more casual direction. It introduced golf shoes inspired, in part, by basketball shoes along with polo shirts with very low-profile “blade” collars, and flat-brimmed hats.

“You realize this isn’t going away; this is only going to get stronger and better,” said Koepka, who has won four major championships. “You see it in the style, which has broadened a bit. They stuck with what they know best, and they are the best at it in the world.”
