Padraig Harrington has signed up to a multi-year agreement with Footjoy and will wear the new Footjoy SYNR-G shoes which are available to order from Golfbuyitonline now.

A perfect combination of comfort and stability, SYNR-G is engineered for players such as Harrington who possess higher swing speeds and demand additional support and motion control in their golf shoes.

Long considered one of Europe’s most talented and popular athletes, Padraig has enjoyed a steady climb up the world golf rankings to his current position as the #4 ranked player. After capturing the Volvo Order of Merit as the top player in Europe in 2006, he validated that title by winning his native country’s championship at the 2007 Irish Open and then capturing his first major weeks later at the 2007 British Open Championship at Carnoustie. Harrington continued his fine form last year, winning two majors. He first defended his crown at the British Open at Royal Birkdale in July and then won the PGA Championship at Oakland Hills just weeks later. Throughout his career, Harrington has amassed 16 International victories, 5 PGA Tour victories, 3 major championships and he’s been selected to 5 European Ryder Cup teams.

Synergy defined is:  a situation where the final outcome of a system is greater than the sum of its parts. SYNR-G shoes have a lot great technology that combine for greater stability than the individual components could provide alone.

Let’s hope that the Harrington-SYNR-G partnership amounts to greatness in 2009.

So as well as being Open Champion 2007 and 2008 and PGA Champion 2008, he now has the golf shoe champion for the past 55 years.
