Spy Kicks: The Best Golf Shoes at the Tour Championship

The Best Golf Shoes at the Tour Championship

And that’s a wrap! The Tour Championship—the PGA TOUR season finale. With only 29 players in the field (we hope Willy Z’s back heals quickly), the choices for my best golf shoes were limited but I managed to pull out some gems.

Patrick Cantlay in the FootJoy DryJoys Tour BOA

Patrick Cantlay is a very rich man, yet he’s still wearing the FootJoy DryJoys Tour BOA from 2018. Come on, Patrick, live a little. It’s OK to buy some new shoes. Yes, I know full well that Cantlay doesn’t pay a dime for his golf shoes. In any case, I do love seeing players of his status sticking with older gear.

Have any of you tried/owned a pair of the DryJoys Tour? Interestingly, the BOA variant was available only with the MyJoys customization program. I found some information from a few years back when FootJoy was running a campaign to get people to customize their own pair of the “Patrick Cantlay Shoe.”

Fast forward: FootJoy sent out an email last week after Cantlay’s win at the BMW Championship and didn’t even mention the specific model of shoe he was wearing, only that he trusted his FootJoy shoes and BOA technology You’re not that slick, FootJoy. We know you’d rather have Cantlay in some of the newer models.

Don’t give an inch, Patrick! Seems like sticking with the old shoes has been working out fine for Patty Ice.
