Both of Schauffele’s wins on Tour this year have come with Patrick Cantlay by his side. This was Xander’s first solo win this season, as he teamed with Cantlay to win the Zurich Classic earlier this year.
Schauffele was decked out in Adidas apparel this weekend, though that’s nothing new for the six-time PGA Tour winner as he’s been an Adidas athlete for his entire career.
We’ve already taken a deep dive inside Schauffele’s Winner’s Bag but now we get to open up the champion’s closet and see how Xander Schauffele dressed for success at the 2022 Travelers Championship.

The men’s Tour360 22 will cost $210 while the women’s version will be $200.
The Adidas’ Tour360 golf shoe has been a signature style of the company for the last 17 years. When Adidas first developed the shoe, they pushed the boundaries of what a traditional golf shoe should look like and settled into a more sporty performance look. Now Adidas’ most popular tour shoe just received an upgrade with better fit and traction.
The new Tour360 ’22 shoe features a Dualstack midsole, Geofit collar pad, 3D Torsion System, Insite sockliner and an innovative traction system called Spikemore.

The Dualstack Midsole combines Adidas’ full-length Boost cushioning with a horseshoe-shaped EVA stability frame. This ensures lightweight stability in the shoe. The Geofit collar pad adds a personalized fit to the top of the foot.
The new Spikemore technology injects the cleats directly onto the TPU sole. There are no replaceable cleats, but the Spikemore design allowed Adidas to position large cleat-like traction elements in new areas, and adjust their density and weight, which helps with green friendliness.
In addition to their laced models, Adidas is offering a BOA option. The BOA Fit System includes micro-adjustable Li2 wraps around the heel which locks the foot into place while providing an easy customized fit.
The new Tour360 22 shoes will be seen on all your favorite tour players including current World No. 3, Dustin Johnson and 2020 Olympic gold medalist Xander Schauffele.

“I’ve worn almost every model of TOUR360 since I started my career and I’m always amazed at how the footwear team continues to raise the bar year after year,” said Johnson. “I really like the design and style with this new model, but the traction, feel and comfort I get definitely make this the best version of the TOUR360 that I’ve ever worn.”
In addition to the men’s version, Adidas is offering a Tour360 ’22 for women. The shoes offer identical technologies and features, but the shape of the women’s version is slightly wider in the forefoot and narrower in the heel area to more closely match the shape of most women’s feet.
The men’s Tour360 22 will cost $210 while the women’s version will be $200 available at adidas.com and select retailers beginning January 28. the BOA versions will be available starting March 1.

White shoes with a black saddle. White shoes with a brown saddle. All white. All black. It seemed golf shoes were trapped in an endless cycle of conformity for decades.
Thankfully, those days are over. While there are plenty of golfers who still love to play in classic-looking footwear, the trend is toward athletic-looking golf shoes with bold colors and sporty styles. From posh private clubs to municipal tracks, more and more golfers are wearing shoes that resemble something that might be seen at a 10K race.
That does not mean these shoes are short on golf-specific details. Manufacturers study how golfers put stress on their feet during the swing, looking at various traction elements and how cleats dig into the grass. They are always tinkering with new materials that provide pillow-like cushioning without increasing weight.
But regardless of the style of shoe you prefer, getting footwear that fits properly is key. Walking a course can easily involve strolling four or five miles up and down hills, and even if you ride in a cart, you will walk a lot during your round.
Shoes that are too tight are never comfortable, and footwear that is too big can rob you of traction and potentially lead to blisters. Your shoes should flex under the balls of your feet to ensure both comfort and traction when you walk, yet they need to be rigid enough to keep you locked to the turf so you can maintain your balance off the tee.
Here are several new options that are sure to be popular this spring.
Check out Adidas’ new, limited-edition Tokyo Collection, featuring new Codechaos golf shoes.
The coronavirus pandemic postponing the Tokyo Olympics to 2021 meant another year of training for the athletes – including 120 golfers.
With exactly one year until the Olympics, Adidas has announced its new Tokyo Collection, which is made of 41 footwear silhouettes across 19 different sports. Each is designed with a pink colorway, connecting athletes across the world without words. The footwear was originally meant to be worn by all adidas athletes during competition in Tokyo.
As part of the Tokyo Collection, adidas Golf is releasing a limited edition CODECHAOS model in for men ($170) and women ($150). The footwear is now available on adidas.com and the adidas app.
Adidas said the tie-dye Codechaos shoes pay tribute to the game in trying times, as golfers celebrate the sport during coronavirus
Adidas Golf said that to celebrate golf this summer – both as a rally cry for the game as well as to “represent how golf has offered thousands of people some solace in recent weeks” – the company plans to offer a limited-edition version of its Codechaos shoes.
Dubbed the Codechaos Summer of Golf edition, the mostly white shoe features a multi-colored, tie-dye pattern. The sole also features a multi-colored pattern. The words Summer of Golf are emblazoned on the tongues of the shoes.
The shoes will be made available June 20 at adidas.com and select retailers. The price will be $170.

Adidas said the tie-dye is in keeping with the original intent of the shoes, which was inspired by the 1967 “Summer of Love” in San Francisco, site of this year’s PGA Championship at TPC Harding Park. The PGA Championship has been pushed back from May 14-17 to August 6-9 because of coronavirus concerns.
“When we designed this shoe roughly 18 months ago, we clearly had no idea there would be a global pandemic that would impact all sports including our own,” said Masun Denison, global footwear director for Adidas Golf. “We knew that adding those three words on the tongue would make this shoe special, but those three words mean so much more now that we are actually able to get outdoors and play the game we love.”

Codechaos shoes feature a spikeless sole made from rubber and thermoplastic polyurethane that is covered with traction elements. While some of the traction elements are positioned in waves, the pattern is broken up by several pieces that appear to be scattered in a random pattern in the forefoot.
After studying the way golfers swing and where they put stress on their feet, Adidas designers developed the chaotic-looking system. Called Twistgrip, it provides forefoot traction in every angle by pointing the edges of the traction elements in every direction.
