Scheffler is looking to become the first player to successfully defend The Masters this week since Tiger Woods in 2002.

The runaway World No.1 is also looking to win a third green jacket in the last four years. 

The Victory Pro 4 are the result of Scheffler and Director of Nike Golf Footwear Matt Plump’s hours of testing.

Scheffler and Plump’s relationship goes back to his time as a junior golfer.

Plump revealed: “I’ve been fortunate enough to work with Scottie close to the last 10 or 12 years, way back when Nike had equipment, Scottie was one of our athletes that as a junior played with Nike golf clubs.

“And then as we’ve kind of transitioned into the new chapter of Nike Golf, we looked at Scottie, obviously the phenomenal talent that he is but one of the things that sticks out is he’s got really unique footwork.

Scheffler added: “Working with Matt and the rest of the shoe team, we kind of figured out what was really good about the shoe and different ways we could improve it.

“The traction on the bottom of the shoe is really important for me. You know, it’s funny, you need the traction and the right side of the shoe to kind of post up against it, but then when you turn your left foot actually, especially mine, it spins and moves off the ground.

“So that’s when I talk about the sweet spot in support - It’s having the ability to have something to push up against in the backswing and be able to turn through on the forward swing without the shoe rolling over - so there really is a sweet spot.

“What we liked about the last shoe was how far it was off the ground and the offset in the shoe and so we kept that the same, which was important to me, because when you start  changing those angles or height off the ground, it can have an effect on your golf swing.”

The two-time Masters champion described how when he’s out on the golf course, he does not want to have to worry about the performance of his shoes.

Scheffler said: “What’s most important about my pieces of equipment is if I’m out there thinking about how my driver is, I’m probably not going to be driving it very well, so when I go out and play, the most important thing is to be able to focus on golf.

“The shoes have put me in a good place where I feel supported, I’m not going to worry when we change turf conditions, from Phoenix to Torrey Pines; I’m not worried about how my shoes are going to perform. I know I’m going to have good traction and support. I know I can walk 18 holes and not think about how my feet are going to feel at the end of the day.”
