Tiger Woods And Nike Allegedly Split After 27-Year Partnership

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

According to anonymous sources, Tiger Woods and Nike are reportedly ending their partnership after 27 years. It’s unclear what has caused this split. However, Woods has not used Nike clubs since 2016, when they discontinued their brand. Furthermore, he has been rocking FootJoy brand footwear since at least 2022. Despite this, there has been no formal announcement about any sort of separation.

Woods is slowly rehabbing from an injury that has kept him out of playing for the last few years. Last week, he appeared in just his third tournament of the year. He finished 18th, recording a par finish. However, he is expected to participate in the PNC Championship next week. That should give observers a chance to see if his apparel brands change. This is a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge. However, it is important to note that is currently an unsubstantiated rumor.

Tiger Woods’ Son Wins High School Title

Meanwhile, Woods’ 14-year-old son Charlie has captured a state title with his high school golf team in Florida. Woods finished 26th overall in the standings and fourth out of his five-player team from The Benjamin School. It is the fourth state title for the school out of Palm Beach Gardens. Woods shot 78 and 76 over two days in aid of the team’s title ambitions.

However, more notably, it means that Charlie has a title that his father doesn’t. At the time of Tiger’s education, California didn’t hold a state championship. Instead, Tiger won a series of regional championships throughout the early 90s. Despite this, Tiger also won the US Junior Amateur around the same time. Woods later played at Stanford for two years before turning pro in 1996. Furthermore, he went on to win his first major the following year in 1997.

DJ Khaled Shows Off An Impossible Drive In His Motivational ‘Til Next Time’ Album Trailer

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There is no way you can still watch DJ Khaled’s over-the-top social media videos and come away thinking he isn’t in on the joke. If you do, then the trailer for his next album, Til Next Time will hopefully finally relieve you of that mistaken notion. As ridiculous as his social media videos can get, he goes even bigger here, tapping his current obsession with golf and combining it with his usual motivational volubility.

He not only chips in an exceptional shot from fairway, but then he also smacks a drive completely off the course and around the globe, proving he’s got a sense of humor about all this. He’s joined on the links by his two sons, who look to have a firm handle on the basics. The trailer clocks in at around four minutes, reflecting his maximalist production tendencies, while the beat playing in the background promises an epic, cinematic bent to his next project.

According to a press release, the Til Next Time is Khaled’s first album under his joint venture with Def Jam, and its first single, “Supposed To Be Loved” featuring Lil Baby, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert, is dropping this Friday, August 11.

DJ Khaled Cops Major Weight Loss From Golf Hobby

August 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

According to a new interview with DJ Khaled, playing golf has helped him lose 20 lbs. “My wife loves yoga, I love golf,” he said. “So while she does yoga, I am golfing. I might eat more than I am supposed to eat — but I’ve been working on that a lot more lately. I have been feeling so amazing and inspired. I just feel great, and vibrant. I was 290 about two months ago, and I am 267 today, ever since I’ve been playing golf. It may not be a lot to y’all, but it is a lot to me.”

However, Khaled also revealed that he is losing weight without cutting out the things that make him happy. “The only thing I want to curb is that I love chocolate chip cookies. I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch. That’s why I golf everyday, and exercise everyday. So I kind of want to make sure I don’t overeat… but you know, I’m like everybody, I get excited.” He also revealed that he’s look forward to a novelty bottle of champagne he recently won at a charity auction. “Beyoncé and Jay-Z signed a big bottle of champagne that I was bidding on. It was between me and Lil Uzi Vert. We were going back-and-forth bidding against each other. I came out on top. It was for a great cause though, I felt so good about it.”

Khaled Turns Hobby Into Cause

Of course, recreation golfing is not the only way that Khaled has been utilizing his hobby as of late. Last month, Khaled hosted the first We The Best Foundation Classic. Diddy, Fat Joe, Jeezy, Ja Rule, and Timbaland were just some of the big-name celebrities in attendance. Elsewhere, it became a question of how long it would take Marcus Jordan to complete a hole, as he seemed incapable of going more than a few moments without sneaking in some PDA with girlfriend Larsa Pippen.

However, Khaled is not the only one who has been hitting the links. Sukihana and Webbie hit up the golf course and shared some images of their time together. Webbie was seen helping Sukihana with her swing before Suki snuck in a thirst trap. Call that a hazard indeed.

Sukihana & Webbie Hit The Golf Course With Sultry Snaps

August 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sukihana’s one of pop culture’s most fervent and recent social media obsessions, turning heads with her antics link-ups, and perspective. As wild as it’s been to see her become a star, there have been plenty of unexpected moments along the way. For example, Sexyy Red brought her out for her Rolling Loud Miami set, which was a great moment for both up-and-coming rappers and a great moment of solidarity. Overall, it seems like she’s everywhere these days, and clearly having a great time and advancing her career as a result of all those travels. However, when it comes to her celebrity meetings, nothing could’ve prepared us for her crossover with a 2000s rap star.

Moreover, Sukihana and Webbie recently hit the golf course together, which left many on social media quite surprised. Regardless of the oddity of that pairing, they still seemed to enjoy themselves, with Suki posting various pictures of their outing. Sure, there were a couple of them on the green together teeing up their next shot, but also one of the “Love & Hip Hop: Miami” star spreading herself out on the green. “You can take me out the ghetto but the ghetto ain’t never leaving me, webbietrill,” she captioned her pics.

In addition, it’s actually been a busy few days for Sukihana when it comes to unexpected celebrity encounters. Another one of those came this week when she finally saw Dr. Umar in person after thirsting for him and having some online back and forth. Still, it seemed like they only posed for some quick pictures and a nice chat, because the Delaware native clarified that they didn’t have the spiritually guided meeting she expected. “I didn’t have the meeting with Dr.Umar yet but when I do I feel like I’m going to come out a whole different woman,” she tweeted.

Meanwhile, this is at least better social media attention than what the Baton Rouge rapper got recently. A lot of people clowned his crop top fit online, but he seemed to shrug it off, albeit with a bit of annoyance. Maybe Suki can give him some style advice in the next few weeks. On that note, come back to HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Sukihana and Webbie.

July 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Steph Curry hit a hole-in-one at the American Century Championship on the 7th hole, Saturday. Curry used a pitching wedge on the 152-yard hole. After doing so, the Golden State Warriors star sprinted onto the green in celebration. He is currently in the lead going into the final round on Sunday. The tournament is hosted as a celebrity event in Stateline, Nevada.

“From our vantage point, the crowd around the tee box, they kind of went cr*zy,” Curry said after his round. “And that drowned out the reaction from the green. All I saw was a bunch of hands go up. And then you just kind of black out. Celebrate. Cr*zy shot. Especially in a tournament like this, that atmosphere. I’m still coming down from the adrenaline rush. That was nuts.”

“I was dead tired,” Curry added. “We were in the middle of summer training, so I’m still getting work in getting ready for the basketball season but not to sprint like that. I had to catch my breath.” The impressive shot set social media ablaze with responses. One fan tweeted: “Watching Steph Curry play golf is more terrifying than basketball sometimes. A televised hole in one and it’s your part time sport? Nah bro.”Another wrote: “Steph Curry who is not a professional golfer hits a hole-in-one. His hand eye coordination needs to be studied in a lab. He is elite.”

Steph Curry Gets A Hole-In-One

As for the basketball court, Curry’s Golden State Warriors recently made a blockbuster trade, sending Jordan Poole to the Washington Wizards in exchange for veteran point guard Chris Paul. They will look to improve on a 2022-23 season that saw them lose in the Conference Semifinals to the Los Angeles Lakers.

DJ Khaled Surprised With Luxury Golf Cart From Diddy

April 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Dj Khaled has excelled in the music industry for over 20 years. Beginning his career in the 1990s as a radio host on Miami’s 99 Jamz, Khaled skyrocketed to superstardom. As one of music’s most sought-after producers, Khaled has created records for countless artists. His resume includes singles cut for Jay-Z, Beyonce, Future, Migos, Drake, and Rihanna, to name a few. Now, the husband, businessman, and Grammy award winner is conquering a new lane, thriving in the world of golf.

If you’re one of Khaled’s 33 million Instagram followers, you’re likely familiar with his recent sports endeavors. On any given day, Khaled is seen riding around in his cart or out on the course practicing his swing. In one recent IG Reel, the 47-year-old shared that he wishes to go pro. Additionally, Khaled even plays with his own We The Best golf balls during his practice. On Wednesday, his longtime friend Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs gifted him a luxury golf cart to take his game to the next level.

DJ Khaled Is Taking The Sport Seriously

Diddy shared an IG Reel showing himself and Khaled dancing and rapping inside the plush chrome cart. In the caption, Diddy subsequently praised his buddy for his golf strides, writing, “Enjoy my gift to you! I had to find the flyest of the fly for my brother! This ain’t no regular degular golf cart!” The thoughtful present arrived a few months after Khaled shared a video of himself getting his cart stuck and crashing it into a curb. Khaled wasn’t hurt by the minor mishap.

Although golf may be a surprising pastime for Khaled, many of hip-hop’s finest enjoy some time working on their downswing. Moreover, ScHoolboy Q made headlines in recent years after stepping away from music and pursuing a career in the game. He even participated in the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Snoop Dogg also enjoys this pastime in between music. As the subject of several prominent visuals, golf has long been a widely accepted sport within the rap scene. Additionally, Diddy and Mase most notably portrayed the roles of a sports announcer and golfer in the famed “Mo Money, Mo Problems” video. Hopefully, we can begin seeing even more hip-hop greats join the ranks of Tiger Woods and Charlie Sifford.

Tyler The Creator Launches A New Golf Le Fleur Fragrance Called ‘French Waltz’

December 8, 2021 by newhiphopnews

Salut, mon ami! Tyler The Creator’s Golf Le Fleur line has been bubbling up for years now. What began in 2017 as a limited edition set of Converse Chuck Taylors in colors like Jolly Green, Solar Power, and Vanilla in the first wave, and Greener Pastures, Limoges, and Rhubarb in the second wave, the vision was to tie together different subcultures. “I wanted to put them in one place, that was important to me,” Tyler said in a release earlier this year. Now the collection has been developing into something deeper beyond just kicks.

Today, Tyler and Golf Le Fleur have announced the first fragrance in the collection, dubbed “French Waltz.” It’s described as a “rose-musk fragrance for everyone,” and is crafted by CPL Aromas, the largest fragrance-only fragrance house in the world. A look under the hood of French Waltz shows that it boasts an incredibly layered scent. It has a musk and sandalwood base, with top notes of mandarin, nashi pear, lychee, and magnolia, and mimosa, jasmine, rose and muguet as its the heart. It slots well with Golf Le Fleur’s mission of creating “a whimsical world that reflects the ideas of curiosity, color harmony, and opulence……le FLEUR* is by and for the sun seekers.”

French Waltz is a limited release in 100mL and 50mL sizes, starting December 13 at 11 a.m. ET here. Watch the vert artsy launch film above and check out pictures of the bottle and the display box below.
