Two-Time Masters Champion Competing in Skechers GOLF Footwear in Return to Augusta LOS ANGELES, April 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Golf legend and two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer signs on with Skechers and will wear the brand's golf footwear for his return to Augusta this weekend. The PGA Tour Champions and European Senior Tour pro is set to bring Comfort That Performs® to the course as he competes in the Skechers Blade featuring Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology in a special colorway that celebrates 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 Bernhard 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 Bernhard Langer and fellow Skechers athlete Matt Fitzpatrick will wear at The Masters features Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology. This waterproof design features lightweight and resilient ECOFLIGHT™ cushioning made with at least 10% recycled materials, a GRIPFLEX spikeless TPU outsole providing superior traction and stability, plus a high-performance Resamax® sockliner for all-day comfort on the course. German golfer Bernhard 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.
