FootJoy, the no.1 shoe and glove brand across the DP World Tour and the Ladies European Tour, is celebrating another season of success by players who chose to use its products.

On the DP World Tour across the 2022/23 season there were 26 victories by FootJoy shoe wearers – more than all other shoe brands combined.

Notable winners in FootJoy Premiere Series shoes included Victor Perez at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, Wyndham Clark at the US Open, Adrian Meronk at the Australian Open, Italian Open and Andalucía Masters and a season-ending victory for Max Homa at the Nedbank Golf Challenge.

In total there were 18 DP World Tour victories by players wearing Premiere Series.

The strength of the FootJoy product range was highlighted through victories for Antoine Rozner in HyperFlex Carbon at the Mauritius Open, Marcel Siem in FJ Traditions at the Hero Indian Open, Dan Hillier in Pro|SL at the Betfred British Masters and Brian Harman in Tour Alpha at The Open Championship.

On the Ladies European Tour, the season started and ended with victories for Aditi Ashok at the Magical Kenya Open and Andalucía Open de Espana respectively – two of the 16 victories in FootJoy shoes across the season.

In the majors, four of the five titles were won by FootJoy shoe wearers with Lilia Vu claiming the Chevron Championship and AIG Women’s Open, Allisen Corpuz taking the US Open crown and Celine Boutier triumphing at the Amundi Evian Championship.

Premiere Series, Pro|SL and FJ Fuel were the most popular models among the winners across the 2022/23 season.

The FootJoy StaSof glove which first became the #1 glove on tour back in 1983 continues to be the go-to model for players across the major worldwide tours.

Ryan Hunt, FootJoy’s Leadership Promotion Manager, said: “It’s immensely satisfying to see more players on the worldwide tours tee it up in FootJoy shoes and gloves than any other brand. It’s a huge testament to the product teams that the world’s best put their trust in our products when playing for their livelihoods. 

“The strength and depth of the FootJoy range means we can really cater to players’ specific performance and style preferences to allow them to focus on shooting low scores out on the golf course. To see so many FJ wearers enjoy success and lift trophies throughout the year has been fantastic to see – to feel like we’ve played a small role in that success is an added bonus for us as a team.”
