Tiger Woods tried to “spite” mum by wearing blue on, it didn’t go to plan
The 15-time Major winner’s red shirt on Sundays has been an iconic part of the Woods brandFamed for wearing red on Sundays at golf tournaments across the world, 15-time Major champion Tiger Woods revealed he once switched to blue to “spite” his mum, but it didn’t quite pan out as he’d hoped.
The former World No.1 was speaking to Jimmy Fallon ahead of today’s official launch of the Sun Day Red line – Woods’ new brand, which he created with TaylorMade following the end of his hugely successful 27-year relationship with Nike.
The American talk show host asked Woods how the name Sun Day Red came about and why he decided to wear his now iconic red shirts on Sundays.
“Maybe because I’ve won a few tournaments on Sunday and wearing red,” joked Woods.
“The red story is actually a good one. It comes from my mum. My mum thought it was, being a Capricorn, whatever, it was a power colour, something like that
I end up wearing red and winning some junior golf tournaments. So, to spite her, I wore blue and I did not win those tournaments so, mum was always right.”
Woods’ mum certainly was right.
In his six outings on the breakaway tour, Meronk has mustered two top ten finishes and finds himself ranked 19th in the Individual Standings, while his team, Cleeks GC, are second from bottom in 12th
