UA to give proceeds from limited-edition Spieth One shoes to new First Tee Mexico City

Published

on

In January, Jordan Spieth embarked on a global tour to promote the launch of his Under Armour Spieth One golf shoes that became available to the public on March 1. The tour started in Tokyo and four stops later it ended in Mexico City.

The Mexico City stop is special because along with launching the Spieth One shoe, the event also helped launched the First Tee Mexico City, which has a charitable mission to teach children the game of golf and its values. As part of the event, Spieth gave a clinic to nearly 30 youth attendees, providing advice on warm-up routines, tips and techniques.

“I’m really proud that Under Armour shares my values of supporting junior golf, which is a big part of the Jordan Spieth Family Foundation,” Spieth said in a Q&A at the event. “It’s really special to have a chance to share with the juniors and be a part of this event.”

Under Armour will outfit the First Tee Mexico City, the company said in a press release, and will also give proceeds from the sales of the Mexico Limited-Edition Spieth One shoes to the First Tee Mexico City.

    Not to sound old but shoes seemed to be super important in basketball and maybe track and football So Under Armor is trying to get this going in golf? And maybe the Jordan shoes are also trying to get something going. Shoot, I am old for griping about this but to milenials really care about edgy shoes? I thought they were busy churning butter and wearing flannel trying to look like loggers.

Wesley Bryan on using 2 drivers last week and his “oopsie” hybrid

Published

on

Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from an article our Andrew Tursky filed for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over to PGATour.com to read the full piece.

It’s been well-documented that Bryan uses two 4-irons in his golf bag – including a Takomo 101U Driving Iron, and a Titleist T200 – but that’s not the only notable oddity throughout his bag.

As Bryan revealed on Wednesday, he actually played in last week’s Barracuda Championship with two drivers: a Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max, which has been his gamer throughout 2024, and a new Titleist GT2 driver. According to Bryan, the dual-driver setup allowed him to work the ball both ways off the tee more easily.

“One was a little more friendly to draw, and one was a little more friendly to fade,” Bryan said.

This week at the 3M Open, however, Bryan says he’s sticking with just one driver: the Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Max, which he enjoys for its forgiveness, especially on shots that he misses on the toe of the face.

“The reason I like this driver so much is… a lot of guys hit the ball in the middle of the club face; and, yes, that’s probably the way you’re supposed to hit driver. I try to utilize a lot of the face,” Bryan said jokingly. “You see…my tee marks go anywhere from (the center of the face) all the way to over here (on the toe of the face). So I like to utilize about an inch and a half of the club face here. The forgiveness on the toe of this driver is second to none, and again, I hit it pretty poor, as you guys know, off the tee most of the time, although it’s getting a lot better. This driver offers a lot of forgiveness.”

In addition to the driver movement at the top end of his setup, Bryan has also introduced a new Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max 3-wood into his lineup to match up with his driver.

“I had a (TaylorMade) Stealth 3-wood in there for a while, but I enjoyed the Ai Smoke driver so much that I got Johnny Thompson (a Callaway Tour rep) out here to build up a 3-wood as similar as possible,” Bryan explained. “This club was used just yesterday in a round to take some money off of Tom Whitney and Zach Johnson on the final hole. I drove it in the hazard, which is obviously not uncommon. Dropped it on a side hill in the rough from 265 yards, hit it to 10 feet… and made birdie the hard way. So this club, I’ve really been enjoying it; it’s been in the bag for about three weeks now.”

Bryan also uses a TaylorMade Stealth 2 hybrid, which interestingly ended up in his bag by accident last year.

“[My hybrid] was built just as a backup while I was waiting for my clubs to arrive [at the John Deere Classic last year], and I needed stuff I could go play the pro-am with, so this was just kind of an ‘oopsie’ hybrid… it turns out I love it. It’s been in the bag ever since.”
