Golf Legend Langer Signs with Skechers

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (April 9, 2025) – Golf legend and two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer signed with Skechers and wore the brand’s golf footwear in his return to Augusta for the Masters on April 10-13, 2025. The PGA Tour Champions and European Senior Tour pro is set to bring Comfort That Performs® to the course as he competes in the Skechers Blade featuring Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology in a special colorway that celebrates the event.

“I’ve been playing golf for a long time and Skechers is the first brand I’ve worked with that really understands comfort on the course,” Langer said. “Their Skechers Slip-ins technology was perfect to help me through my Achilles rehab over the last year. That easy-on and off hands-free design with all the cushioning has made it so easy to feel confident for my return to Augusta.”

“It’s a privilege for Skechers to be on the course in Augusta with Bernhard Langer — an icon who has so much history at this tournament,” added Michael Greenberg, president of Skechers. “We collaborate with pros on tour to ensure that our footwear has the performance and comfort they need to perform at their best. Bernhard’s inspiring comeback at age 67 illustrates how important feeling good is to overcoming adversity — something that any player can experience with Skechers golf shoes.”

The Skechers GO GOLF Blade that Bernhard Langer and fellow Skechers athlete Matt Fitzpatrick will wear at The Masters features Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins® technology. This waterproof design features lightweight and resilient ECOFLIGHT™ cushioning made with at least 10% recycled materials, a GRIPFLEX spikeless TPU outsole providing superior traction and stability, plus a high-performance Resamax® sockliner for all-day comfort on the course.

Langer has been competing professionally since 1972 and has earned numerous accolades and more than 120 worldwide victories through a storied career spanning more than 50 years. Langer holds the all-time record for most PGA Tour Champions wins at 47 — including 12 Champions tour major victories and winning the Charles Schwab Cup six times. His 42 career wins on the European Tour rank 2^nd all-time.

Langer previously won the Masters twice — in 1985 and 1993 — and will return to Augusta this year. He’s received various awards throughout his career including winning the Byron Nelson Award for PGA Tour Champions player of the year seven times and earning the prestigious Payne Stewart Award in 2018.

Langer joins a Skechers roster that includes golfers Matt Fitzpatrick and Brooke Henderson. Additional elite athletes around the world competing in Skechers Performance footwear includes basketball stars Julius Randle, Norman Powell, Terance Mann, Joel Embiid, Rickea Jackson and Kiki Iriafen; soccer players Harry Kane, Baris Alper Yilmaz, Isco Alarcón and Mohammed Kudus; pickleball pros Tyson McGuffin and Catherine Parenteau; cricket players Jasprit Bumrah, Ishan Kishan and Yastika Bhatia; and baseball players Clayton Kershaw and Aaron Nola, among others.
