Golf legend and two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer signed on with Skechers, wearing the brand’s golf footwear for his return to Augusta. The PGA Tour Champions and European Senior Tour pro competed in the Skechers Blade featuring Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins technology in a special colorway that celebrated 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. “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 wore at the Masters features Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins technology. This waterproof design features lightweight and resilient Eco Flight cushioning made with at least 10% recycled materials, a GripFlex spikeless TPU outsole providing superior traction and stability, plus a high-performance Resamax sock-liner for all-day comfort on the course.
Langer has been competing professionally since 1972 and has earned numerous accolades and more than 120 worldwide victories through a storied career spanning over 50 years. Langer holds the all-time record for most PGA Tour Champions wins at 47—including 12 Champions tour major victories and winning the Charles Schwab Cup six times. His 42 career wins on the European Tour rank second all-time. Langer previously won the Masters twice—in 1985 and 1993—and returned to Augusta this year. He’s received various awards throughout his career, including winning the Byron Nelson Award for PGA Tour Champions player of the year seven times and earning the prestigious Payne Stewart Award in 2018.
Langer joined a Skechers roster that includes golfer Fitzpatrick and Brooke Henderson. Additional elite athletes around the world competing in Skechers Performance footwear include basketball stars Julius Randle, Norman Powell, Terance Mann, Joel Embiid, Rickea Jackson and Kiki Iriafen; soccer players Harry Kane, Baris Alper Yilmaz, Isco Alarcón and Mohammed Kudus; pickleball pros Tyson McGuffin and Catherine Parenteau; cricket players Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan and Yastika Bhatia; and baseball players Clayton Kershaw and Aaron Nola, among others.
