Bernhard Langer has the reputation of being incredibly meticulous when it comes to his equipment choices. So, it was big news when he switched to golf shoe upstart Athalonz after wearing adidas for 41 years. Now it looks like his decision is paying off. Langer won the Cologuard Classic in Tucson yesterday by 2 strokes with a -18. Langer says he changed shoes because “I connect with the ball better every time when wearing Athalonz” and the results back him up. So far this season, he’s averaging 10 places higher than last year.

Athalonz CEO Tim Markison was excited to get yet another affirmation from a top pro golfer.

“Again and again, the performance gains our patented technology provides has been validated not just in the lab, but by the results of a champion”, said Markison.
