Sports brand Nike has confirmed its sponsorship split with legendary golfer Tiger Woods in a stylish new ad. In typical Nike form, the minimalist design is simple yet effective, commemorating the partnership with a sentimental farewell embellished with a touch of class.

Nike is known as a frontrunner for the best print ads and its latest design certainly deserves a place on the list. While the sporting divorce is certainly mournful news for some, it proves how important sportspeople can be in increasing the impact of iconic brands.
