2017 U.S. OPEN: Rory McIlroy and Jason Day Apparel Scripting

June 12, 2017 by Bob Diercksmeier Leave a Comment

MAJOR COMFORT. ZERO DISTRACTIONS.

As Nike athletes compete at the 2017 US Open, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day will keep cool and comfortable under pressure in the Nike Zonal Cooling MM Fly Blade Polo. This polo features Zonal Cooling technology which is Nike’s best expression of our cooling innovations. This technology provides optimal breathability in areas where the body produces the most heat.

The other Nike athletes vying for the major championship title will be wearing polos that fall under the umbrella of breathability and comfort leveraging Nike’s Aeroreact and Dri-FIT technologies. The other polos seen on the links at Erin Hills are the Raglan polo, the MM Fly Aeroreact blade polo, the Mobility Speed Stripe polo and the Dry Tipped polo.

Nike’s color story for the US Open is pigment burst. This is an overarching brand color story that pairs explosive colors such as Sport Fuschia, Bright Mandarin, Electro Green and Vivid Sky against neutrals for a disruptive look. The 20 Nike athletes in the field will wear this bright color palette against the Wisconsin backdrop of Erin Hills.

Here is a head-to-toe look at what McIlroy and Day will wear on each day of the tournament:

Rory McIlroy

McIlroy will wear a white Nike Classic 99 hat, the Zonal Cooling MM Fly blade polo in Electro Green, Chlorine Blue, Wolf Grey and Deep Night, the Nike Flex Pant and Lunar Control Vapor footwear.

Jason Day

Day will wear the Nike Classic 99 hat in black and white, the Zonal Cooling MM Fly Blade polo in Sport Fuschia, Wolf Grey, Black and Chlorine Blue, the Flex pant and the Nike Lunar Command footwear during each day of the tournament.

NIKE GOLF GETS FRESH FOR THE BIGGEST TOURNAMENT OF THE YEAR

Rory McIlroy and Jason Day will be among the 12 Nike athletes to wear the latest apparel and footwear for the first major of the season.

Two key apparel technologies will help to keep the 13 Nike athletes who are competing in this year’s first major championship cool and comfortable throughout an entire round of golf: Aeroreact, a responsive lightweight fabric that is uniquely engineered to adapt to changes in an athlete’s temperature, and Zonal Cooling, which provides optimal breathability where the body produces the most heat.

As for shoes, Rory McIlroy will wear the Nike Lunar Control Vapor, including a new PE on Sunday. For his first major tournament as a Nike athlete, Jason Day will compete in Air Zoom TW 71 PEs during all four days of the tournament.

Here’s a head-to-toe look at what McIlroy and Day will wear on each day of the tournament:

Tommy Fleetwood Wins Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship

January 22, 2017 by Bob Diercksmeier Leave a Comment

Tommy Fleetwood celebrated turning 26 on Thursday, and ended the week with the biggest title of his career: victory at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

“I’ve been playing well for some time now but to get the win and see off some of the best players in the world is a huge confidence boost to me,” says Fleetwood. “I felt the second European Tour victory was a little bit overdue, but I’ve kept positive, working and improving and now thankfully I’ve earned that win.”

The Southport-born star had finished second three times since his maiden Tour win at the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles in 2013.

Fleetwood finished the week leading the Greens in Regulation statistic, and was also 9th in driving accuracy and 15th in driving distance. A closing back nine holes of just 31 strokes on Sunday, including a chip-in eagle at the 10th, saw him finish atop the leaderboard at 17-under-par, one stroke clear of his nearest rival.

The win marks the culmination in a significant return to form for Fleetwood, who has now finished in the top-20 in 10 of his last 14 starts on Tour. He was T9 at last season’s DP World Championships finale in Dubai, before beginning the new campaign with a T3-finish at the UBS Hong Kong Open.

Fleetwood’s winning look on Sunday included the Nike Raglan polo and Nike Lunar Command 2 footwear.

OLESEN CLINCHES MEMORABLE VICTORY AT TURKISH AIRLINES OPEN

Thorbjørn Olesen secured the biggest win of his career after a stunning display at the Turkish Airlines Open in Antalya.

The 26-year-old — who shot a course record 62 on Friday — notched an impressive 23 birdies and one eagle during the four days, and held his nerve during the final round to sign for a winning score of 20-under-par, three strokes clear of his nearest competitor and fellow Nike athlete Hao-Tong Li, at Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort.

“I hadn’t been in great form recently, but I always back myself to turn it around and that’s what I did this week. It’s a great feeling to get the win, and gives me a big confidence boost going into the next two tournaments,” says Olesen.

The win has elevated the Dane to 9th spot in The Race to Dubai standings ahead of the next installment of The Final Series where Olesen will tee it up at the Nedbank Golf Challenge in Sun City, South Africa.

Olesen sported apparel from the Nike Performance collection – including the Nike MM Fly Swing Knit Stripe Alpha polo – and also relied on the stability and comfort of the Nike Lunar Control 4 footwear.

Rory McIlroy Wins Tour Championship and FedEx Cup

RORY MCILROY CLAIMS TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP AND FEDEXCUP

Rory McIlroy shot a final-round 64 and came from three back with three holes remaining on Sunday to claim both the TOUR Championship and the FedExCup at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia.

“It was incredible,” McIlroy says of the win. “All I wanted to do was concentrate on winning the TOUR Championship. I couldn’t control what anyone else did, I just needed to come out here and play a really good round of golf.”

Finishing at 12-under, he entered a three-way tie for a sudden death playoff. He started off strong as he blasted a 357-yard drive with his Nike Vapor Fly Pro driver then went on to outlast the competition after four holes. McIlroy, who tallied 20 total birdies, hit his driver well all week as he led the field in strokes gained off the tee (6.606) and finished third in average driving distance (314.7 yards).

McIlroy ended the season with two wins in the month of September, notching his 12th and 13th career PGA Tour victories.

Fellow Nike athletes Kevin Chappell and Paul Casey finished T-2 and fourth, respectively.
