The news was broken on Twitter, with the announcement, “JUST IN: Tiger Woods & Bridgestone Golf agree to terms on a contract extension that will see the 82-time PGA TOUR winner continue to use the TOUR B line of balls”, per TWLEGION. This contract extension is a significant coup for Bridgestone Golf, as it ensures that one of the most recognizable and revered figures in golf will remain a key ambassador for the brand. With this new contract in place, Woods will be looking to capitalize on the momentum and make a renewed push for his success in the golfing world as this partnership was a long-standing one, with Woods first signing with Bridgestone back in 2016.
In fact, Woods has revealed that he’s been playing Bridgestone-made balls since his memorable 2000 season, even when they were branded as Nike golf balls. “I have played a ball manufactured by Bridgestone since my memorable 2000 season,” Woods said in a press release. “Since the beginning, Bridgestone has continued to innovate and lead the golf ball category in terms of technology, performance, and consistency. They are great at what they do, and I look forward to continuing to work with their R&D team to design industry-leading golf balls.” Woods has had great success with Bridgestone balls, including winning the 2019 Masters with the Tour B XS ball. He’s since switched to the Tour B X ball, which he says gives him an extra 10 yards of carry off the tee.

But Bridgestone isn’t just happy with its current team, it’s also looking to add some new talent to the mix. Recently, the company signed PGA TOUR winners Kurt Kitayama and Harry Hall, as well as Takumi Kanaya, who is joining the PGA TOUR as a rookie for the 2025 season. Hall, who won the ISCO Championship in 2024, is really excited to be working with Bridgestone. “I tried out the new ball in tournament conditions, and I was blown away by the results,” he said. “The ball flies far, and it’s really consistent in the wind. I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do with it!” With these new signings, Bridgestone is setting itself up for even more success in the golf world.
