The Packard is lightweight and features hand-selected Pittards of England of a soft full grain, waterproof leather upper with a tortoise printed saddle. FJ’s Ortholite FitBed has a molded heel cup and the VersaTrax+ outsole is designed to give Tour proven fit and performance.

The Tarlow, as seen on the feet of PGA Tour players such as Justin Thomas, Ian Poulter and Billy Horschel, is a cap toe design from hand-selected leather with calfskin details. All variations of the shoes will include Gold Pulsar cleats by Softspikes that delivers no-slip grip and a great look as you finish your swing.

The sunglasses are inspired by Leight’s favorite golf legend, Chi Chi Rodriguez and are from the Elkgrove Sun collection.

Available starting April 6 on footjoy.com and garrettleight.com, the men’s version will sell for $220 while the women’s shoe will sell for $200.

Masters: Tiger Woods not wearing Nike golf shoes at Augusta National

Tiger was rocking FootJoy shoes for the second consecutive day at Augusta National.

As of Monday afternoon, Tiger Woods had not announced whether he intends to play in the 2022 Masters or not, but for the second straight day the five-time winner was at Augusta National hitting balls and practicing.

The new TaylorMade Stealth Plus+ driver was in the bag, along with his trusty Scotty Cameron Newport 2, the putter he has used to win 14 of his 15 major championships.

What is noteworthy, however, is that for the second day in a row, the newly-minted Hall of Famer was not wearing shoes with a swoosh. Woods wore a peach-colored Nike shirt and black pants on Sunday afternoon along with a pair of black FootJoy Premiere Packard shoes. On Monday, he matched a navy blue Nike polo with light gray pants and donned a pair of white FootJoy Premiere Packard shoes.

Golfweek contacted representatives from FootJoy and was told that the company has no comment at this time. Golfweek also reached out to Nike for comment but was unsuccessful in getting a response.

The FootJoy Premiere family of shoes were the most popular golf shoes on the PGA Tour in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. The company discontinued them briefly, then re-released the Premiere in 2021. Today’s versions are much lighter than the originals, thanks to the outsoles now being made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) instead of leather. There are also lighter materials in the midsole that enhance cushioning, but the waterproof leather upper still provides significant lateral stability.

Woods is scheduled to speak with the media on Tuesday.

Jon Buscemi, a West Coast street-fashion icon, has partnered up with FootJoy.

Jon Buscemi, a West Coast street-fashion icon, has partnered up with FootJoy to put his unique spin on the company’s Tour-proven Premiere Series. This collaboration will debut at The Players Championship and defending champion Justin Thomas — along with other FootJoy players — will be putting the new shoe into competition.

The new design will be referred to as, “The Player’s Shoe,” for not only the timing of the release, but how it is designed for competitive play.

Our favorite golf gloves of 2022

Check out our list of top golf gloves in 2022.

Whether you’ve just picked up the game or you’re able to shoot lower than your age, a golf glove is one the most essential and affordable pieces of equipment most golfers utilize.

Golf gloves allow you to better control the club, but to get the full benefit of a glove, you need one that fits properly. Before we get into the following list of gloves to try, here are a few tips and tricks to know you’re getting the right one.

First, a good golf glove should be tight. When your hand is spread naturally, the velcro tab should reach to the halfway point of the velcro on the other side across the back of your hand. With time, you’ll break in the glove and the velcro will reach all the way across. If the glove rides too far up your wrist, try a cadet size made for hands with shorter fingers and wider palms.

If you play a lot, especially in the summer, buy in bulk to keep your gloves fresh. Pro tip: Hang a glove on your cart or bag to air out between shots. And if you want a glove to last longer, never leave it in the hot and humid trunk of your car between rounds.

The list below has options for every budget and handicap, and even includes where to buy.

Best men’s golf shoes of 2022

Golfweek has put together our top picks for the best golf shoes of 2022.

For the weekend warrior getting in a post-work evening nine to the group who is always first on the tee sheet, every handicap needs a pair of reliable golf shoes.

With that in mind, Golfweek has put together our top picks for the best golf shoes of 2022.

Golfers pay close attention to the kinds of irons they use and how all their clubs fit their swing, but shoes can be just as important. Ground force is one of the biggest factors in distance and having the right pair of shoes can help you hit bombs in all weather conditions.

FootJoy Fuel golf shoes

FootJoy’s sporty new Fuel offers all-day comfort with spikeless traction to keep golfers firmly in place when they swing.

Gear: FootJoy Fuel golf shoes
Price: Men’s: $129.99 (laced)/$159.99 (BOA). Women’s: $119.99 (laced)/$149.99 (BOA)
Specs: Spikeless, waterproof shoes available in four colorways for men in sizes 7-15 and three colorways for women in sizes 5-11.

For the past 76 seasons, the most-played shoes on the PGA Tour have been FootJoy. With a stable of offerings that includes the classic-looking Premiere Series, the athletic HyperFlex and the do-it-all FootJoy Pro/SL, that streak is going to be tough to stop. Numerous golfers on the LPGA Tour also wear FootJoy.

For 2022, FootJoy is offering a new shoe for both men and women, the Fuel, which combines traction elements with comfort technologies and a sporty sneaker style. Will Zalatoris, Max Homa and newly signed FootJoy staff player Jessica Korda will wear the Fuel regularly in 2022.

With a rounded toe and a full fit across the forefoot and instep, the Fuel was designed to be comfortable right out of the box and a shoe that golfers can walk in all day. To compliment that shape, FootJoy added a new compound called StratoLite foam in the midsole to provide extra lightweight cushioning.

To ensure your feet do not slip, FootJoy designed the Fuel with scores of small traction elements in the sole and a piece called a Power Stabilizer in the forefoot. The Power Stabilizer extends slightly beyond the outside of the upper to provide a more-stabile platform for your swing

The Fuel has a synthetic leather upper that is waterproof, and the shoes come with a one-year waterproof warranty.

The women’s version of the Fuel has all the features and technologies designed into the men’s shoe, but they are designed to fit a woman’s foot shape.

Both the men’s and women’s Fuel is available in a laced version as well as a version with the laceless BOA system that allows golfers to turn a small dial behind their heel to tighten the shoe and create a customized fit.

Cold-weather apparel and accessories to lengthen your golf season

Want to extend your golf season a little longer? Here are a few new things to consider if you live where it’s cold.

With autumn leaves falling fast in New England and bomb cyclones pummeling the Pacific Coast with wind and rain, staying warm and dry on the course is getting tricky for golfers in many parts of the country.

Cold weather does a few things that can diminish your performance on the course. First, according to Titleist, a shot hit on a 50-degree day will fly three percent less far than it will at 70 degrees because colder air is thicker. So, your 200-yard shot will only fly 194. The bigger factor, however, is that adding sweaters, jackets and other insulating layers designed to keep you warm usually restricts your range of motion, so you swing slower. That will take even more yards off your shots.

Smart golfers are always on the lookout for apparel and accessories that can keep you warm and dry without hindering your swing. Here are a few new things to consider if you live where it’s cold and want to extend your season a little longer.

Golf gloves 2021: Best glove for every budget, preference

A list of our favorite gloves for every budget and preference in 2021

Although often overlooked, golf gloves are an important piece of equipment because your hands are your connection to the club. If your glove is poorly fit, has holes in it or does not supply you with the grip and traction you need, you’ll wind up making compensations and altering your swing.

On the other hand (sorry, we couldn’t resist), the right glove can enhance grip, reduce friction, prevent blisters and improve your swing.

Most golfers wear a glove on only their non-dominant hand, but sometimes a pair is necessary for wet or frigid conditions.

While most gloves look the same to the naked eye, there’s a wide range in quality and material, varying from natural leather to synthetic fabrics.

With the lion’s share of golf gloves falling in the $15-$25 range, we’ve identified 10 of the best gloves for any budget and handicap in 2021.
