Has Tiger Woods publicly promoted any supplement or wellness products?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Tiger Woods has a long history of commercial endorsements, including at least one confirmed tie to a sports supplement company — MusclePharm in 2014 — and earlier product tie-ins such as a Gatorade sports drink and various consumer brands like Nike and Gillette [1] [2] [3]. Official listings of his current sponsors appear on his site but do not, in the provided materials, enumerate a present supplement or wellness brand among his active partners [4] [3].
1. A proven supplement endorsement: MusclePharm
Reporting from ESPN documents that Tiger Woods signed an endorsement deal with sports supplement and nutrition company MusclePharm in June 2014; the MusclePharm logo was slated to appear on his bag and the partnership included work on “Tiger-specific products” [1]. Contemporary coverage discussed the possibility that the tie-up would extend into a full line of sports nutrients marketed under his name [5] [1].
2. Historical pattern: supplements as part of a broader endorsement portfolio
Woods’ brand relationships have included beverage, apparel, equipment and personal-care companies such as Nike, Gatorade and Gillette, and his endorsements have sometimes included product lines tied to his image [2] [3]. Bleacher Report and other retrospectives list current and past sponsors that at times included “Japanese pain-relief company Kowa” and Monster Energy, indicating he has endorsed health-adjacent products beyond pure golf equipment [3].
3. Controversy and scrutiny linked to supplement endorsements
When Woods partnered with MusclePharm commentators raised questions about supplements’ regulatory and safety issues, and whether a figure of his stature should endorse products in a sector where oversight and claims are contested; Bleacher Report and other analysis flagged debates over supplement efficacy and past misconduct by people associated with supplement brands [5]. That reporting framed the partnership as both commercially logical and potentially contentious given the industry’s spotty record.
4. What his official sponsor list shows — and does not show — in these sources
TigerWoods.com hosts a sponsors page that serves as the official roster for his corporate partners, but the copy in the provided materials does not list specific current wellness or supplement brands; it instead functions as a conduit for news and partner announcements [4]. Independent summaries of his endorsements compiled by outlets like Bleacher Report and SportsKhabri mention health-related partners historically but do not present an up-to-date supplement endorsement on Tiger’s active roster in the documents supplied [3] [6].
5. The wider commercial context: endorsements, earnings and strategic choice
Tiger Woods’ career-long endorsement machine includes marquee deals with Nike, Titleist, Bridgestone and others and has been a primary wealth driver, with outlets noting endorsement earnings dwarfing on-course winnings [2] [7]. That commercial scale explains why brands in many categories — including fitness and nutrition — have courted him, and why he has occasionally allowed his name to be used on product lines rather than restricting himself to core golf partners [2] [3].
6. Limitations and gaps in the available reporting
The sources provided confirm the 2014 MusclePharm deal and document a pattern of health-adjacent endorsements; however, they do not provide a comprehensive, current list of every supplement or wellness product Woods has ever promoted, nor do they offer post-2014 confirmation of ongoing supplement partnerships on his official sponsor page [1] [4]. Available sources do not mention whether he has personally promoted any wellness products after MusclePharm, and they do not include full texts of his sponsor contracts or product-specific marketing materials beyond news coverage [4] [1].
7. Competing perspectives: commercial logic vs. reputational risk
Business coverage frames such endorsements as natural monetization of Woods’ brand and athletic image, and notes the high returns companies expect from his association [2] [7]. Sports-journalism and industry commentary caution about reputational risks tied to supplement marketing and regulatory questions, as seen in contemporaneous debates around the MusclePharm deal [5] [1]. Both perspectives appear in the sourcing: outlets celebrating his marketability and others flagging potential controversy [2] [5].
8. Bottom line for the question asked
Based on the provided sources, Tiger Woods has publicly endorsed at least one supplement company — MusclePharm in 2014 — and has a history of health-adjacent partners, but the supplied materials do not show a current, active supplement or wellness product endorsement listed on his official sponsor page nor document additional post-2014 supplement promotions [1] [4] [3].
