Nevermind that the foursome of Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff are carrying their own bags and wearing shorts for this TaylorMade Driving Relief match. Under the “golf equipment and apparel” column, nothing screamed louder at Seminole Golf Club on Sunday than Matthew Wolff’s tie-dyed golf shoes.
Wolff, at 21 the youngest player in the foursome by 10 years, clearly made the biggest wardrobe statement. Golf fans might have seen more of the colorful Nike shoes at the PGA Championship had it gone off as originally scheduled this past week at TPC Harding Park. Some Nike players were planning to wear them.
Live updates: TaylorMade Driving Relief
Wolff gave golf fans a sneak preview of the shoes by wearing them to a warm-up range session the day before the TaylorMade match. Live TV truly made them pop, however.
The bad news for golf fans who are coveting the footwear is that the shoes don’t appear on Nike’s web site. It remains to be seen whether the company offers the shoes to the public in the future – the interest is certainly there.
