It is old news now that Rory Mcilroy signed up with Nike. £145 million over 10 years is a wonderful deal, even if undoubtedly there are plenty of taxes, etc to pay! It means that Nike now have the best two players in the world signed up and allows them to produce wonderful adverts like the You Tube flip in this article which is the first advertisement the two of them have made together for Nike. Rory obviously now has to adapt to his new clubs as quickly as possible, because the price for getting £145 million is obviously that he has to play with Nike equipment, which he is not entirely used to as yet.

Sponsorships are a form of compensation for the world delving into their personal lives. Allowing them to protect themselves and their families behind high walls, blacked-out windows, private gyms and schools from the prying eyes of the common public.

Don't really know much about golf but I've seen this new ad. It's really cool :) and playful.

McIlroy, the world No. 1 and the only active golfer younger than 40 other than Woods to have at least two major titles, joins a constellation of sports superstars representing the swoosh label that includes Woods, the tennis player Roger Federer and the Miami Heat’s LeBron James. Golf Digest shared a photograph on Twitter of Rory McIlroy at the European Tour’s HSBC Championship in Abu Dhabi. It showed McIlroy from the ground up to just below the knees. Wearing a bright new pair of Nike (NKE) golf cleats. The path of golfers who have cashed in on their success by changing equipment is well-traveled and includes Phil Mickelson, who moved to Callaway from Titleist in the wake of his victory at the 2004 Masters, and McIlroy’s countryman Graeme McDowell, who jumped to Cleveland and Srixon from Callaway after winning the 2010 United States Open. Mickelson won four times on tour in 2005. The adjustment is not always so seamless! It took McDowell nearly two years to record his first victory with his new clubs. Golf being equal parts mechanical and mental, it is impossible to predict how a new club will affect a player’s swing or scores.

The amount of money famous people get endoursed by all this companies is sometimes just insane. I mean yes they have worked hard and deserve all the perks, but sometimes the amount of money is just madness.
