Tiger Woods may have been the king of Nike Golf for the past 15 years but Rory McIlroy has stepped into the throne room to the chants of, "The king is dead! Long live the king!" Nike confirmed on Tuesday that it has signed a long-term deal with McIlroy, ranked No. 1 in the world, to represent Nike Golf on the course and in marketing. Financial terms were not disclosed. Industry analysts said the pact could be worth upward of $200 million over 10 years.
