The American professional is famous for hitting huge bombs off the tee and for wearing colorful apparel. In fact, Bubba even has a pink-colored driver. The two-time Masters champion caught the attention of every golf fan at Southern Hills Country Club during his practice session on Tuesday.
Watson wore the amazing Nike Jordan XII G Golf Shoes. The all-white golf shoes have a black sole with a touch of blue and white. However, the shoe seems to match a shade present of the PGA Tour professional’s driver.
Being an Air Jordan edition golf shoe, it has Jordan’s usual number, 23, written on the back with the Jumpman logo. As a result, it makes the shoes even more special and fashionable. Not to mention, given Bubba’s charm and the ability to carry them, the fabulous golf shoes suited the 43-year-old professional well.
However, this is not the only time Bubba is seen showing off his Nike Air Jordan kicks on the golf course. The Florida native has been wearing the Jordan golf shoes on the PGA Tour since 2021. Earlier, he wore the Nike Air Jordan 4 golf shoes, which had an all-white top, and the sole or the bottom part of the shoes were green.
The golf world has mixed reactions to Bubba Watson’s new kicks
As soon as the pictures of Watson’s golf shoes hit the internet, golf Twitter was up in a frenzy. Fans from all over the globe started to react to the Tour professional’s shoes. Notably, the majority of the fans were not impressed with the Jordan-inspired golf shoes.
At the same time, a few of Bubba’s fans appreciated his kicks for his practice round and portrayed the same through their reactions.
Not even a little bit. Looks like some shit out of 1999

Anything Bubba does is 👎🏼. If it’s not promoting Bubba, Bubba is not into it. Bubba loves himself some Bubba.
