Tiger Woods’ New Clothing Brand Under Fire: Sun Day Red’s Debut Falters at PGA Championship

In the high-stakes world of professional golf, every detail matters – from the precision of the swing to the choice of attire. Tiger Woods, a legend in the sport, has always been synonymous with excellence, but his latest venture, the clothing brand Sun Day Red, has hit a stumbling block at the PGA Championship.

With fifteen major championships under his belt, Tiger Woods is no stranger to the spotlight. Earlier this year, he unveiled Sun Day Red, his own line of golfwear, signaling a departure from his longstanding partnership with Nike. The anticipation was palpable as fans eagerly awaited Woods’ debut in his own brand at the PGA Championship.

As Woods stepped onto the Valhalla course, all eyes were on his attire – a salmon pink polo shirt, grey trousers, and white cap adorned with Sun Day Red’s distinctive logo. However, as the humid Kentucky air clung to the greens, it became apparent that something was amiss. Despite the advanced wicking material touted by the brand, Woods’ perspiration became uncomfortably evident early in his round.

Golf enthusiasts and commentators were quick to voice their concerns. Gabby Herzig, a prominent golf writer, took to social media to express her disappointment, stating, “I feel like the one thing Sun Day Red should have prioritized is making golf shirts that even Tiger Woods can’t sweat through.” Her sentiments were echoed by Dan Rapaport of Barstool Sports, who quipped, “There’s not a material on Planet Earth that has a chance against Tiger’s sweating on a humid day at a major championship. Absolutely lapping the field in perspiration.”

The backlash was not limited to online chatter; even Woods’ performance on the course failed to divert attention from the clothing debacle. Despite his best efforts, Woods’ round of 72 left him tied for 85th place at one-over par after the first day of competition.

Woods, known for his resilience under pressure, attempted to mitigate the issue by shedding a sleeveless jumper before teeing off. However, the damage was done, and Sun Day Red found itself under intense scrutiny. With replicas of Woods’ polo shirt retailing at a hefty $120 (£95) and the coveted salmon pink version already sold out, consumers were left questioning the brand’s promise of performance and quality.

As the PGA Championship progresses, all eyes remain on Tiger Woods and Sun Day Red. Will the brand recover from its rocky debut, or will it fade into obscurity? Only time will tell. For now, golf enthusiasts around the world wait with bated breath to see how Woods and his clothing line fare in the days to come.
