Nike
Deny Club Launch is Imminent
Nike Golf have denied that they will launch a range of clubs
during the early part of next year even though several Tour
players will be trying out the
company's prototype irons.
"We
are still testing a number of options out on Tour in all club
categories," said Mike Kelly, Nike Golf's marketing manager.
Some within the industry are expecting a sneak peak of Nike
equipment,
specifically putters and wedges, at next month's PGA Merchandise
Show in
Orlando.
However,
Kelly added: "It is not likely that there will be clubs
in our booth
at the PGA show. We are working with Tour players over the
next few months
and will likely have prototypes out on various Tours and during
the 'silly
season', but it will not allow for commercialisation in time
for this spring."
