So, Tiger Woods kicked off this week with a bang, launching his Sun Day Red apparel and footwear line at the Genesis Invitational. And boy, has he been flaunting it. Throughout the practice and tournament days at Riviera, he’s been turning heads, especially since this marks his first appearance of 2023.
For the opening round, Tiger decided to go all in with an all-white ensemble. But then, Friday rolled around, and bam! He threw us a curveball with a throwback look. He sported a polo that was a dead ringer for the one from his very first PGA Tour round. And guess where that was? Yep, Riviera, back in ’92.
They’re calling it the Cypress 92 polo. And it’s not just any polo. This piece is a heartfelt nod to that memorable week at Riv. “As we pieced together our Beginnings Collection, Tiger was all about paying tribute to his Riviera debut in ’92,” said the folks over at the Sun Day Red Instagram account. They’ve managed to blend nostalgia with a modern twist, and honestly, it’s pretty cool.
Now, let’s talk about Tiger Woods making his PGA TOUR debut at Riviera in ’92. Fast forward to today, and the man’s still got it. If you’re curious, just check out this pic. It’s like looking at a before and after, yet he remains the legend he is.
Woods didn’t just pull this new range out of thin air. Nope, it’s a collaboration with TaylorMade, coming hot on the heels of his 27-year journey with Nike Golf. “Sun Day Red is all about the love of the game, whether you’re out on the course or tackling life,” says their website. They’re committed to putting athletes first in every product decision. Talk about dedication.
Oh, and there’s a fresh logo in town – a 15-striped tiger, symbolizing Woods’ 15 Major championship victories. It seems Tiger’s decided to part ways with the old TW logo that was synonymous with his Nike days. A new chapter, perhaps?
And just like that, we’ve got a glimpse into the evolution of a legend, both on and off the course. Tiger Woods, always keeping us on our toes.
