-- Rory McIlroy has agreed to a new endorsement deal that extends his contract with Nike Golf. The company announced the agreement on Sunday in a brief statement. "I've loved this company since I was a kid," McIlroy said in the statement. "I'm really happy to continue this journey with Nike."

For the second consecutive year, Tiger Woods wears FootJoy golf shoes at The Masters. There is no golf tournament more important than The Masters. The tradition unlike any other is capable of drawing in the most casual fans.

Nike stopped making golf equipment in 2016, forcing McIlroy and other Nike players to seek other options. In January and February of 2017, McIlroy played Callaway equipment without signing an endorsement deal with the company. He used an Epic driver at the South African Open Championship, along with an Odyssey putter.

Rory McIlroy is a Northern Ireland-born professional golfer who has a net worth of $170 million.
