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.
