Nike Golf is a well known corporate golf sponsor mostly due to their sponsorship deal with Tiger Woods. Nike Golf sponsors players other than Tiger. In fact, they sponsor players on the PGA TOUR, JPGA, LPGA and most international tours. If you are a golfer that hopes to get sponsored by Nike Golf there are some steps that you can take to make sure that you are prime Nike Golf sponsorship material.
Sign with a college that is affiliated with Nike Golf. The athletic department of the University of Portland, which is located near Nike’s headquarters, has a sponsorship deal with Nike and the players are all sponsored by Nike Golf.
Work on your game non-stop. Only the best players in golf can get corporate sponsorships from companies like Nike Golf. You need to be one of the best to attract the attention of Nike.
Enter big tournament and play well in them. If you are consistently ranking well in golf tournaments you will have a good chance of getting sponsored. Each time you place well in a tournament get the word out. Try to get the results posted in blogs, websites and on Twitter. Nike Golf has a Twitter account, @NikeGolf, and a Facebook account. Make sure news of your wins and rankings get relayed to Nike via Twitter and Facebook.
Have a good story and be influential. Typically, Nike Golf sponsors golfers that have a great story, such as Tiger Woods and his heritage. This is key because the golfer will be doing publicity for Nike Golf and good back storys are good for publicity. You also need to be able to be influential. To get sponsorsed you have to offer a return on Nike’s investment by promoting their brand and influencing other to want to purchase Nike Golf products. This means that you have to be appealing to the public.
Gather video footage of your playing and your wins. Use this footage to put together a reel of your golf career so far. The more wins you have in this reel the better the chance of getting a sponsor. Once you have created this reel you can send it to Nike Golf’s Sponsorship Department at One Bowerman Drive, Beaverton, OR 97005. You can also fax them any newspaper stories on your wins or rankings at (503) 646-6926.
