At FootJoy, we pride ourselves in providing golfers with a wide array of performance golf shoes.  With four performance golf footwear categories; we have the ability to provide every golfer a high-performance product to match their specific needs. 

Be it FJ ICON worn by the likes of Luke Donald, Bill Haas, and Bubba Watson, which offers traditional looks with a performance infused outsole for today's modern players.  Our new XPS-1 golf shoe, worn by Gary Woodland, gives players the most stable and innovative hitting platform in golf; allowing the player to be more explosive through the golf ball without sacrificing style and comfort.  In addition to the FJ ICON and XPS-1 we have our DryJoys Tour line worn by Steve Stricker and Ben Crane.  These tour players opt for the combination of superior comfort, flexibility, and stability - all trademarks of the historic DryJoys line.  Finally, FJ Sport worn by Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, and Nick Watney.  The FJ Sport gives players a lightweight performance golf shoe that can keep up with the best players in the world.

To celebrate these four performance categories or "Big Four" we have developed a TV Spot for your viewing pleasure. We hope you enjoy!

Lee Westwood cruised to a seven-shot victory on Sunday in the Thailand Golf Championship.  Westwood wearing FJ Sport and SciFlex set the pace early, opening the tournament with a 12 under par 60 on the Amata Springs course.  He then followed the stellar round with an impressive eight-under par 64 to open a 11 shot lead through two rounds of play. 

"I've amazed myself really...It's been staggering, it all came together well. It's probably the best I've ever played." Westwood said of his blistering start to the tourney.

Despite his massive lead, Westwood felt the pressure of holding onto it, "I've never had an 11-shot lead before and it was difficult to come out and refocus and reset goals...it's yours to lose really with an 11-shot lead. There was pressure involved. Yesterday, I didn't know how to approach it or handle it."  Westwood handled the pressure just closing with a three under par 69 to win by seven shots.  The win moves Westwood to number two on the official world golf rankings.

Take the FJ Challenge for you chance to win the same shoes worn by McIlroy, Watney, and Scott.

Rory McIlroy won the Hong Kong Open with a bogey free, five under par - 65 for a two shot victory.

McIlroy admittedly did not have his best game the previous days, "This week there have been glimpses of really, really good golf...On Friday and Saturday, I really did struggle."

Without his A-game, the Northern Irishman was still only three-strokes back beginning the final round.  Through nine holes,  McIlroy, wearing FJ Sport and Pure Touch Limited, would birdie two holes to draw even at the top of the leaderboard.  Continuing his superb play, McIlroy then birdied two more holes on the back nine to take a one shot lead into the final hole.  On the last, McIlroy's approach shot would land in a green-side bunker, only to hole his next shot for a birdie and the two shot victory.

This win was special for McIlroy, "To come from behind, and to draw level after nine holes and then to play very solid golf on the back nine and be able to close it out, it's something I probably haven't done before." Continuing on, "It was a different win - it would be nice to be walking up the last with a four shot lead every time, but that's just not going to happen. It was nice to finish it off like this."

The win puts McIlroy into second place on the European Tour money list behind Luke Donald, who is trying to becoming the first ever player to win both the PGA Tour money title and European Tour money title in the same calendar year.  World number one (Donald) and World number two (McIlroy) will go head to head at the Dubai World Championship later this week to close out the European Tour season.
