Robert MacIntyre lands huge new sponsor

Christmas has come early for the top Scot on the Official World Golf Ranking.

Robert MacIntyre has put pen to paper on a brand new apparel deal with global powerhouse Nike.

The multi-year partnership will see the Scot wear Nike clothing and shoes in all of his tournaments, joining the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood in the stable .

MacIntyre, 25, has been wearing Nike footwear since he turned professional in 2017, and this new deal will see him extend this arrangement to cover all of his on-course apparel.

“Clothing is a big part of a professional golfer’s make-up, and it’s so important to have

confidence in the quality of what you’re wearing each week,” he said. “The depth of the Nike Golf range covers everything that I need, and it’s reassuring to know that they will be there to support me wherever I am playing in the world.”
