Grab a pair of the new Tiger Woods ’13 Masters Edition Nike Golf Shoes before they sell out.
The Masters isn’t until April, but Nike is keeping the style fresh year round. 10 years ago, Nike released the Tiger Woods ’13 golf shoe that set the golf footwear industry on fire.
This shoe was ahead of its time and competitors with its modern design and technology. Woods had asked Nike to craft a shoe that was similar to the Free Run line of shoes that he preferred to lift and train in.
The Dynamic Fit system offers targeted support, delivering strength-to-weight ratio and 1-to-1 fitted support. The flywire-infused nylon straps extend 360 degrees from the footbed to the lacing system, securing the foot for an adaptive fit that provides golfers stability with mobility.
The outsole helps the golfer stay in contact with the ground longer, harnessing the energy longer and delivering it more efficiently through impact.
The spikes have been updated to be removable and the spike receptacles provide solid traction.
It is a gender-neutral, spikeless shoe that was inspired by the 1987 shoe, the Tiverton.
Adidas has mixed today’s technology with the classic design of golf footwear and developed the MC87 4D.
This shoe is sure to turn heads with a futuristic 4D midsole and a classic upper. It is a gender-neutral, spikeless shoe that was inspired by the 1987 shoe, the Tiverton.
The Tiverton had similar wing tip styling, brogue stitch detail and croc texturing all in a classic leather. Today, the MC87 4D has combined those traditional designs with a more modern water-resistant upper.
The 4D midsole is printed with light and oxygen using Digital Light Synthesis and is the first of its kind. With the Ryder Cup quickly approaching, they have included a special cobblestone sock lineras an ode to the streets of Rome.

“Over the last 18 months we’ve noticed golfers wanting more vintage designs, and we’re in a unique position where our archives provide some amazing product inspiration as we continue our mission to be the most progressive golf brand in the world,” said Masun Denison, global footwear director, Adidas Golf. “We challenged ourselves to combine the timeless aesthetics from the past with the technology of today, and MC87 4D was the perfect result. It’s a very special silhouette, a first for us in golf using the 4D technology, and it will be one that golfers everywhere will be excited about.”
Adidas has engineered this shoe with energy return in mind with its intricate lattice structure. To round out the 4D midsole, the shoe features a rubber spikeless outsole with lugs to provide additional traction and grip for when golfers head to the course. The MC87 4D will also come with a removable kiltie.

Bad Birdie’s fleece collection features blue, greens and neutral staple colors in various hoodies, crewnecks, tees, sweatpants and lounge shorts.
The idea was to elevate the look of comfort and allow some of these pieces to reach the course and expand the brand to non-golfers. The capsule includes both unisex and women’s pieces that are versatile throughout the cooler months. Whether you are using a fleece piece as a layer on the course or for lounging around the house, this collection will provide flexibility and comfort for any task.

These rising golf apparel brands are worth checking out.
Say goodbye to those boxy polos and wide-legged trousers.
More and more golfers are searching for more fashion-forward apparel for the course and they’re in luck as there are so many great apparel companies out there and plenty of small businesses on the rise.
Golf is cementing its position as one of the most thriving sectors in the global fashion market and its popularity continues to grow. The golf apparel market is not only attracting seasoned players but also captivating a new generation of enthusiasts who see golf as a lifestyle.
More than 60 percent of new golfers last year were female and there are more choices than ever for women on the course.
See below for rising golf apparel brands that are worth checking out.
Women’s golf clothing is finally helping players feel at home on the course.
From bermuda shorts to pleated tennis-looking skorts, women’s golf fashion has blossomed into a trendy style over the years. Most girls getting into the sport 10+ years ago struggled with feeling feminine on the golf course.
For many women, golf was not appealing from a fashion standpoint alone. The fashion didn’t make the sport inviting and wasn’t functional if you did make your way to the course.
There were not many ways to express yourself or stand out from the rest with khaki shorts and standard pink polos. There was a limited selection of golf clothing, and if you happened to find something that caught your eye, it came with a steep price tag.
The dress code for women was stricter back then with some courses only allowing knee-length shorts and a polo shirt with capped sleeves. Fast forward to today when you see women golfing in breathable, fashionable and stylish clothing.
Many professional players have witnessed this transition first hand. The tour used to consist of very bland styles and prints. The LPGA is now full of bright colors, feminine trim and various ways to express your personality while on the course.

Longtime LPGA player Christina Kim has been known for her electric style on the golf course.
“I’m happy to say that women’s golf fashion has come much closer in line with fashion trends in public society. Long gone are the days of boxy, oversized shirts and pleated khakis,” said Kim. “Functional fabrics, silhouettes that actually accentuate a woman’s figure, fun colors and patterns and sharp lines are all part of the norm. I’m a big fan of the changes made, though I still am not a huge fan of sweatpants or joggers on course, but it’s mainly because I don’t think they look good in general.”

Added Swedish LPGA player Pernilla Lindberg: “I feel like when I got into the sport as a young girl, there was not even such a thing as girls’ golf clothing or women’s golf clothing, it was more men’s polos. You just had to wear an extra small with no feminine fits, and it was just baggy. Obviously, that has changed to where more women’s polos fit better,” said Lindberg.
“It has gotten more and more feminine over time with improved sport fabrics, as well. The latest transition is obviously more the athleisure look that you see away from the golf course. This is now being more and more accepted on the course. I think it’s so fun because now you can actually show more of your personal style on the course, and you also can leave and go straight to somewhere else without it looking so obvious that you came straight off the course. It’s changed a lot from those big baggy polos that I would wear as a girl to where we’re at nowadays.”
In the past, it has been difficult to find clothing that resonates with women who are looking to find stylish apparel while shopping at traditional retail stores. If you weren’t at a golf specific store, it was unlikely to find any items that fit the golf criteria.
In today’s world, you can shop in most of your sports-related clothing stores and find items that fit the mold of the modern golfer. Athleisure has become increasingly popular for day-to-day wear, and now companies are mastering the art of bringing comfort and functionality to women’s golf apparel. You can walk into many name brand stores and find golf-like skirts, shirts and more. It has become a more-formal tennis style and readily accessible.

Golf and travel correspondent of NBC Golf Channel Alexandra O’Laughlin recently became an ambassador for Calia, a fitness apparel brand. She has a slightly different view of golf fashion.
“As a young golfer I always found a way to be sporty and stylish on the course. There weren’t options like there are now, but I found inspiration from all over and had a knack for integrating classic golf styles with functionality,” O’Laughlin said. “Calia has all of this in one line, plus the ability to make me feel confident on and off the course. With the variation of tasks women have to accomplish throughout the day, it’s important to curate a wardrobe that transcends with you. I’m so proud to represent Calia and work with Dick’s Sporting Goods to give women the options they deserve.”
The importance of feeling comfortable and confident on the course often stems from clothing. Many golfers believe if you dress well, you will perform well, and women’s golf clothing is finally helping players feel at home on the course.
