First Look: Under Armour Drive Pro Series Gold Edition golf shoes 2025
GolfMagic takes a closer look at the brand new Drive Pro Series Gold Edition golf shoes from footwear specialists Under Armour.
Under Armour continues to redefine golf footwear performance with the launch of the Gold Edition Drive Pro Series for the Spring/Summer 2025 season.
Celebrating the overwhelming success of the Drive Pro Series’ 2024 debu, this latest iteration introduces a striking gold edition colorway in both the Drive Pro Spiked and Drive Pro SL models.
Unrivalled Performance, Validated by Science
Engineered to elevate every golfer’s game, the Drive Pro Series delivers superior traction, stability, and comfort, with performance benefits scientifically validated through live data testing.
Under Armour has consistently demonstrated measurable gains in clubhead speed, ball speed, and carry distance, making the Drive Pro a game-changing tool on the course.
At the core of this innovation is the Swing Support System, a revolutionary three-layer structure developed with world-renowned biomechanist JJ Rivet.
This science-backed design ensures a 360-degree foot lockdown, optimizing both lateral and medial stability.
Meanwhile, UA HOVR™ foam and Charged Cushioning™ enhance responsiveness and provide essential support, guiding the foot’s natural motion throughout the golf swing for increased power and control."
"At Under Armour, our mission is to make athletes better, and this shoe embodies that commitment by delivering tangible performance benefits. The chrome gold outsole plate isn’t just for looks—it highlights the biomechanically engineered Swing Support System, which has been scientifically proven to enhance stability, maximize energy transfer, and ultimately improve a golfer’s swing efficiency. Every detail of the Drive Pro Series has been designed to provide measurable results on the course.” - Jake Haley, Head of Golf Footwear at Under Armour

Already a go-to choice for top athletes worldwide, the Drive Pro Series is making an impact across professional tours.
On the PGA Tour, Jordan Spieth and Maverick McNealy trust the Drive Pro, with McNealy securing his first PGA Tour victory at the RSM Classic and earning three top-10 finishes in early 2025, including a runner-up at the Genesis Invitational.
The shoe has also gained traction on the Korn Ferry Tour, where Christo Lamprecht, who signed with Under Armour in 2024, has already recorded two top-5 finishes in just four starts this season.
Additionally, on the DP World Tour, the product is now worn by the exciting young talents of England’s Kris Kim, who made his PGA Tour debut at the CJ Cup in 2024, and Denmark’s Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen, who already has two top 10s to his name in 2025 since making the switch to Drive Pro.
