January 2, 2017 – Nike Golf<\/strong> has signed world N\u00ba1 Jason Day<\/strong> to a multi-year contract. The agreement\u00a0covers footwear, apparel, headwear and gloves, ending his previous contract with adidas Golf<\/strong>, that with the figures not unveiled is thought to be worth up to $10 million a year. Day will continue to play TaylorMade Golf<\/strong>, clubs as Nike is out of the equipment business, will first wear Nike this week at the Tournament of Champions in Kapalua<\/strong>, Hawaii.<\/p>\n

\u201cJoining Nike is a dream come true,\u201d<\/em> Jason Day<\/strong> said. \u201cThe brand is synonymous with the world\u2019s best athletes. I\u2019m honored and can\u2019t wait to be part of the team and working closely with Nike to take my game, and the sport of golf, to even higher levels.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The partnership comes on the heels of back to back stellar years for Day. The 28-year-old Australian closed 2015 with four wins in his final seven starts, including his first major title with a record-breaking 20-under-par performance at the PGA Championship. That momentum carried over into 2016, with Day notching three wins \u2014 including coveted titles at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the WGC-Dell Match Play and THE PLAYERS Championship.<\/p>\n
