Does Nike Make Golf Balls? The Truth About Nike's Golf Equipment

Nike used to make golf balls, but they don't anymore.

In 2016, Nike made a big decision to stop making all golf equipment, including golf balls. This wasn't because their golf balls were bad - many players, including myself, really liked them.

The reason was simple: money.

Nike had been losing money on golf equipment for about 20 years. Phil Knight, who was Nike's CEO at the time, said they realized this trend wasn't going to change.

So they decided to focus on what they do best: making shoes and clothes.

When Nike was making golf balls, they put a lot of effort into them. They had their own factories and did constant research to improve their products. Their RZN balls were particularly popular among golfers.

But even with good products, Nike struggled to compete with big golf ball brands like Titleist and Callaway.

For golfers who loved Nike balls, this change meant finding a new favorite. It's not just about picking any ball - each one plays differently, so it can really affect your game.

Nike hasn't completely left golf though. They still make golf shoes and clothes, which are still popular. But if you're looking for Nike golf balls now, you're out of luck.

You might find some old stock in stores or online, but they're not making new ones.

So, to answer the main question: does Nike make golf balls? Not anymore.

They used to, and some golfers miss them, but Nike decided it was better for their business to stick to what they do best - making great sports apparel and shoes.
