“This shoe is an absolutely integral part of my return to the sport I love and have missed so much,” Woods says.

“Nike really got in the zone with me. I knew Tobie (Hatfield – Nike Senior Director of Athlete Innovtion) and I were on to something special back when I tried on the first prototype.

“I feel supreme support from this shoe which leads to the utmost confidence when I step onto the course."
