Bernhard Langer Signs with Skechers, Returns to Augusta in Skechers Golf Footwear

Golf legend Bernhard Langer is stepping back onto one of golf’s most storied stages in Skechers. The two-time Masters champion has officially signed with the LA-based footwear brand and will take the course in Skechers as he returns to Augusta National this weekend. Known for a career that spans over five decades with more than 120 wins worldwide, Langer brings elite experience and veteran presence to the Skechers Performance roster. His comeback is especially meaningful after recovering from Achilles surgery, and he credits Skechers Slip-ins technology for helping him get back on course, literally and figuratively.

“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,” said Bernhard Langer. “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.”

Langer will compete in a special edition of the Skechers GO GOLF Blade, which incorporates the brand’s Hands-Free Slip-ins entry system, making it easier to wear without sacrificing stability. The waterproof golf shoe includes lightweight ECOFLIGHT cushioning with at least 10% recycled materials, a GRIPFLEX spikeless TPU outsole for enhanced traction, and a high-performance Resamax sockliner to provide maximum comfort during tournament play. Fellow Skechers athlete Matt Fitzpatrick will also lace up in the same silhouette at 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.”
