World No. 1 Rory McIlroy heads the list of stars to be signed by sporting giant, Nike.

www.golfbytourmiss.com has it on good authority McIlroy’s signature to a reported $20m a year contract is just the tip of a multi-million dollar iceberg as Nike looks to further boost its standing on the world stage.

American Gary Woodland, who has been sponsored by Titleist and is also a management stablemate to Tiger Woods, is believed to be signing also with Nike.

Also it’s understood 24-year old Kyle Stanley, also a Titliest staff player and winner earlier this year of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, will also be wearing the Nike ‘swoosh’ in 2013.

But in one of the biggest signings outside of McIlroy, ultra-talented 21-year old Korean sensation Seung-yul Noh is also expected to become a Nike staff player.

Noh, like McIlroy, Woodland and Stanley is also playing under Titleist colours.

Noh contested 28 PGA Tour events this year earning three top-10s and also accumlating winnings of $US 1,629,751 in prize money.

He revealed last year that if he should qualify for the 2016 Olympics and if South Korea were to finish top-three is would mean Noh avoiding 18-months serving in the military.
