Again, it's hard to make a shoe that takes two years of design/production when the guy's body/needs have changed so drastically in the last year.  Also, the current iteration is from 2020, so he hasn't had the same shoe for 5 years.

 

You do understand that just because the shoe is called the TW20 doesn't mean it was released in 2020. Check the film from the 2019 Masters.

Footjoys maybe the best most comfortable thing ever, but to me they look like the golf equivalent of New Balance daddy walkers.

You realize he was wearing that shoe for like 2 years prior to it being released to the public in 2020? It took years for them to bring it to the public after Tiger started wearing them.

Nike should be embarrassed. Imagine Jordan showing up to play for the Wizards wearing some Adidas because they couldn't make a shoe to fit his needs. Goes to show you how lazy and inept they are in what used to be the golf division. 

great point, would never happen!

This happens fairly regularly even with pro's constant input.  Kyrie was not initially happy with his shoes this year and Lebron wouldn't wear a pair of his new shoes a couple years ago.  The difference is they have a lot larger backlog to play-in.  No one's needs has changed more than Tigers from a foot perspective.  He went from the TW 13's to the double strap, to last year's more traditional model, all because of completely different needs due to injuries.

 

He never wore the double strap shoes...maybe one tournament and 'm not even sure he even he did that. 

[MK7Golf21]

point is, Tiger has been wearing his current shoes for like 5 years now. He plays with JT all the time who wears footjoy, I'm sure JT mentioned for him to try these shoes on his leg, they are probably pretty comfortable so he went with it.
 

The TW20 shoes are very comfortable but they are pretty plain jane basic shoe. It looks like a bit more went into these footjoy shoes and higher quality.

God I love this place, the fact that I can log in on a Monday morning and there is already a 4 page thread on this let's me know that there are people out there that are just as sick as I am. If I tried to explain any of this to my wife it would be met with a blank stare and an ".......anyway..."

While the move to FJ shoes is interesting, I think its more interesting to see him  not only leaving the metal spikes but going all the way to spikeless.

 

I assume no spikes (soft or metal) reduce the pressure points.

He's bounced back and forth a few times with spikeless

could be to reduce torque on the foot/leg, do they even make that footjoy shoe with spikes? That probably has something to do with it as well.

I did not know that, thank you!

Another good point, I'm not entirely sure.

His have spikes in them if you look at the picture showing the bottom of the shoe.  You can see the metal spikes he's used over the years on these shoes.

If he bought them in the pro shop, I bet he paid a premium price!

He got the 10% past champions discount.

Yep, Pro Champ Stinger spikes👍

How that sole can be green friendly is beyond me. Looks like in a soggy day the green stands no chance.

Nike has lost its edge.  I hope Tiger finally goes full FJ double-velcro mall-walker.

Practice?

We talkin bout practice?

This is a big deal. 

 

One of Nike's mottos is "made to the exact specifications of championship athletes. They should change it to made by the lazy and unimaginative members of our once creative golf division. 

 

What would happened in Serena showed up at Center Court Wimbledon wearing Under Armor, Ronaldo at the Champions League Final wearing Puma, LeBron at the NBA Finals wearing Adidas. All while under contract to wear Nike footwear. 

 

Tiger is the greatest champion they have in their stable and they can't get him a shoe he likes???? Nike is a footwear company at its core, come on..... He played in the PNC over the holidays. It would seem to me that 4 months is plenty of time to get arguably the greatest golfer to have ever lived a pair of shoes. by the global leader in footwear. 

 

Nike doesn't care about Golf. If they did this wouldn't be the first shoe that shows up on their website and Tiger wouldn't be wearing FJ's.

Nike probably proposed an orange colorway as the TW22. I'd switch to FJ, too.

They were just gonna finally drop the frank colorway.

Nike's golf shoes are trash made from cheap materials, and if that's not enough for you they also make them look ridiculous.

Well, I have said this from the minute that I walked out of the Nike Golf facility in Fort Worth ( the old Stites Golf Inc. facility) years ago. We had been wined and dined, showed some great presentations, they trotted out a few big names to shake hands. But after all that pomp and circumstance, there was no substance in the product. Nike is not a sporting goods company, they are not a sporting goods manufacturer; Nike is a marketing company through and through, that happens to sells some sporting goods!  

 

This is evident in the entire life cycle of the Nike Golf brand. They have forgotten the core and try to keep up on the "cool" factor. 

[Nard_S]

My impression with Nike is when they want to be great they can be. Some of their running shoes were fantastic, I avoided their golf clubs for over a decade but I have to say they issued some really good irons too.

You really think they can get them to Augusta from China that fast?
