Nike unveiled their players’ scripting for The 2013 Open Championship held July 18-21 at Muirfield Golf Links in Gullane, East Lothian, Scotland.
Twelve Nike Athletes will compete: Scott Brown, Oliver Fisher, Russell Henley, Scott Jamieson, Rory McIlroy, Francesco Molinari, Thorbjorn Olesen, Carl Pettersson, Charl Schwartzel, Kyle Stanley, Nick Watney and Tiger Woods. Every Nike athlete in the field will compete in new designs from head to toe that incorporate key technologies for every weather condition.
