Tiger Woods's £54.95 Nike mockneck 'all but gone in a couple of hours' — but the look has fans divided
Tiger Woods had an undeniably memorable weekend, but the look that he wore during his fifth win in Augusta is dividing fans.
For his fairytale Masters comeback, the golf icon wore a Nike mock neck shirt that retails for £54.94 – and it’s a look that many remember.
“I thought it was a pretty neat look back in the day,” Woods said about repeating the fashion choice.
“I was probably in a little better shape back in those days, but I had won events wearing the mock, and I’ve always enjoyed wearing them.”

There’s one question golf consumers need to ask themselves before buying a new mockneck: “Did I just win the Masters for the 5th time?” If the answer is NO, step away from the purchase.
