On the eve of the Masters golf championship comes word that golf legend and two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer has signed on with Skechers (NYSE:SKX) and will wear the brand’s golf footwear for his return to Augusta this weekend.
The PGA Tour Champions and European Senior Tour pro is set to bring Comfort That Performs® to the course as he competes in the Skechers Blade featuring Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology in a special colorway that celebrates the event.
“I’ve been playing golf for a long time and Skechers is the first brand I’ve worked with that really understands comfort on the course,” said Langer, who took the Green Jacket in 1985 and 1993. “Their Skechers Slip-ins technology was perfect to help me through my Achilles rehab over the last year. That easy-on and off hands-free design with all the cushioning has made it so easy to feel confident for my return to Augusta.”
The Skechers GO GOLF Blade that Langer and fellow Skechers athlete Matt Fitzpatrick will wear at The Masters features Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology. This waterproof design features lightweight and resilient ECOFLIGHT™ cushioning made with at least 10% recycled materials, a GRIPFLEX spikeless TPU outsole providing superior traction and stability, plus a high-performance Resamax® sockliner for all-day comfort on the course.
