Tiger Woods Renews 25-Year Partnership With Bridgestone Golf Balls
Tiger Woods has extended his long-standing partnership with Bridgestone Golf, continuing to use their Tour B X golf balls. The 15-time Major winner has been using Bridgestone-manufactured balls for 25 years, including during his dominant 2000 season when he won three Majors using the Nike Tour Accuracy ball, which was actually produced by Bridgestone.
"Bridgestone has continued to innovate and lead the golf ball category in terms of technology, performance, and consistency," Woods stated. "I look forward to continuing to work with their R&D team to design industry leading golf balls."

While Woods was primarily associated with Nike throughout his career, Bridgestone manufactured Nike's Tour Accuracy golf ball, which featured a three-piece construction with a rubber core and urethane cover – different from the liquid-filled core and wound construction many competitors used at the time.
