FootJoy Fuel Golf Shoe Shines with First Tour Victory at Magical Kenya Open

The FootJoy Fuel golf shoe wasted no time taking centre stage on tour, as it carried a first-time winner to victory at the Magical Kenya Open.

Showcasing a blend of lightweight performance and long-lasting comfort, this new addition to the FootJoy family helped the champion protect his slim Sunday lead and cruise past fellow FJ ambassador John Parry in Nairobi.

The champion switched to the FootJoy Fuel golf shoe earlier in the season and clearly hasn’t looked back.

Launched in January, Fuel tips the scales at 10% lighter than its predecessor. Think of it as the nimble sprinter in FootJoy’s lineup—redesigned from the ground up to offer remarkable comfort without weighing you down.

In fact, Fuel has quickly become a favourite among both men and women on the professional circuit.

Over the 2023/24 season, it has already notched up six wins across the DP World and Ladies European Tours, trailing only the iconic Premiere Series in the FootJoy stable.

Meanwhile, over on the PGA Tour, Brian Campbell sank a decisive putt in a playoff at the Mexico Open to claim his own maiden victory.

The American opted for the timeless look and modern performance of FJ Traditions golf shoes, paired with the premium feel of a FootJoy StaSof glove.

“Traditions check every box for me,” Campbell said. “They’re the perfect blend of style and comfort.”

Not only do pros gravitate toward FJ Traditions, but amateur golfers also have the model atop their wish lists.

According to Golf Datatech, Traditions was the top-selling shoe by units in the On Course channel across the UK at the close of 2024.*

At the Mexico Open, FootJoy underlined its leadership once again with 60% of the field wearing the brand—more than triple its nearest competitor—and a majority of players also choosing the #1GloveinGolf.
