Two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer has signed a sponsorship deal with Skechers and will wear the brand’s golf footwear for what will be the 67-year-old German’s final appearance at the Masters.
Langer, who is still competing on the PGA Tour Champions and European Legends Tour, is wearing a pair of Skechers Blade shoes at Augusta this week. They feature the brand’s Hands Free Slip-ins technology in a special design that celebrates the Masters.
“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 has accumulated more than 120 worldwide victories through the course of his 50-year career. “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.”
“It’s a privilege for Skechers to be on the course in Augusta with Bernhard Langer — an icon who has so much history at this tournament,” added Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “We collaborate with pros on tour to ensure that our footwear has the performance and comfort they need to perform at their best. Bernhard’s inspiring comeback at age 67 illustrates how important feeling good is to overcoming adversity — something that any player can experience with Skechers golf shoes.”
The Skechers GO GOLF Blade that Langer and fellow Skechers athlete Matt Fitzpatrick are wearing 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.
