Double Success for Westwood and Footjoy in Season Finale
FootJoy ambassador crowned champion as FootJoy takes top 4 spots
FootJoy, the #1 Shoe and Glove in Golf, is delighted to announce that England’s Lee Westwood secured the biggest win of his career at this week’s Dubai World Championships. The season long Race to Dubai was also clinched by the FootJoy ambassador in convincing fashion, with a 6 stroke victory over fellow FootJoy wearer Ross McGowan and from his nearest challenger, FootJoy ambassador Rory McIlroy. Westwood put on a stunning display of golf around the Jumeirah Golf Estates Earth course in Dubai. A closing 64 marked the end of a hugely successful season for the Brit. It is the second year in succession that a FootJoy ambassador has been crowned Champion of Europe.
Westwood has been an advocate of the all new FJ ICON, which utilises the very best features from all FootJoy golf shoes: finely tailored upper designs, premium materials, performance-infused outsoles and customisation that allows for a seemingly endless amount of design and size options. The latest shoe from the team at FootJoy has seen unparalleled success on Tour since its launch. The impressive tally of recent FootJoy winners wearing FJ ICON includes; Ross McGowan, Lee Westwood, Ross Fisher and Ian Poulter. Westwood also wore a Pure Touch™ glove providing unrivalled feel, grip and performance. He was joined by McIlroy and Harrington who also chose Pure Touch™, with McGowan opting for the FootJoy StaSof®. Yet further proof that the world’s best opt for FootJoy.
The impressive and unsurpassed string of victories for FootJoy on Tour further illustrates the position FootJoy holds with the world’s elite. This week saw 66% of the field wearing FootJoy shoes compared to 17% of its nearest competitor. With eight out of the top fifteen in the Race to Dubai rankings choosing FootJoy and the top 4 at the Dubai World Championships proudly sporting the FJ logo, the performance speaks volumes for the world’s leading shoe brand.
“The FJ ICON has had a fabulous start to its life on tour. We are all very proud of Westwood’s achievements, as we are of all the FJ players who have won this year,” commented Richard Fryer, European Marketing Manager.
Whether it is the all-round excellence of the all new FJ ICON, the unrivalled stability of the SYNR•G™, or the reliable and consistent performance of DryJoys®, FootJoy remains the overwhelming favourite for golfers of all abilities around the world.
