Tiger Woods, one of the most iconic names in golf history, continues to solidify his relationship with long-time partner Bridgestone. The 48-year-old golfing legend confirmed via social media that he will extend his collaboration with the brand that has supplied him with golf balls since his record-shattering 2000 season.
Woods, who currently uses Bridgestone’s Tour B X balls, praised the company’s unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence in the golf ball industry.
Tiger’s endorsement: A testament to trust and performance
“I have played a ball manufactured by Bridgestone since my memorable 2000 season,” Woods shared, as quoted by Golf Monthly. “Since the beginning, Bridgestone has continued to innovate and lead the golf ball category in terms of technology, performance, and consistency. They are great at what they do, and I look forward to continuing to work with their R&D team to design industry-leading golf balls.”
Woods’ endorsement is not merely a sponsorship deal; it is a partnership rooted in two decades of mutual trust and shared pursuit of excellence. His continued use of Bridgestone balls underscores their reliability at the highest levels of competition.
Bridgestone’s rise to global prominence
Founded in 1931 by Japanese entrepreneur Shojiro Ishibashi, Bridgestone initially gained fame for its tire manufacturing. However, just four years later, the company ventured into golf, producing its first golf balls. Despite a slow start, Ishibashi’s vision was clear: to establish Bridgestone as a dominant force in golf equipment.
Nearly a century later, Bridgestone Golf is a global leader, known for cutting-edge technology and premium products. Partnerships with elite players like Woods have bolstered their reputation, demonstrating their ability to perform under the most demanding conditions.
A bright future for Bridgestone and Woods
Today, Bridgestone’s Tour B series, including the Tour B X balls favored by Woods, continues to push the boundaries of innovation. The company has made it clear that its priority is strengthening partnerships with top-tier athletes like Woods while advancing its product offerings.
With Woods’ backing, Bridgestone is poised to maintain its leadership in the golf industry. As the golfer himself prepares for the next chapter of his storied career, his collaboration with Bridgestone remains a cornerstone of his equipment strategy—a partnership that speaks volumes about the company’s quality, consistency, and ambitions.
