Special-edition 2018 PGA Championship Nike Golf shoes

Published

on

Spotted on the course during practice rounds this week, Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy have been wearing PGA Championship special-edition Lunar Command 2 shoes with hits of Blue Camo on the sole and the Swoosh.

While it hasn’t been confirmed whether those particular shoes will be available, it does appear Nike Golf is releasing a special-edition Tour-Premiere golf shoe that has the same Blue Camo accents, although in an all-white shoe in a different style.

The shoes reportedly go on sale August 8 for $200.

What do you think about the Bellerive/PGA Championship shoes from Nike?

    Why do all Nike shoes buckle in the toe section instead of sitting and moving better like other brands (see the black shoe for reference). Almost like they give too much toe space. Admittedly I have narrower feet but they feel really awkward when I’ve tried them on.

      Too much toe space? There’s nearly no such thing in golf shoes. Most are toe huggers, except for Sketchers and True Linkswear.

      Jim, it just means you shouldn’t wear Nike. Simples. Why try? Nike makes ugly stuff anyway

    Looks like the white shoes have a wrap-around ‘kiltie’ covering the laces. The black shoes have exposed laces. What gives?!!

    I think those might be Nike Lunar Command 2 not Lunar Control 4, I could be wrong.

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
