I've seen him wear them and was wondering when they were going to officially dip into the golf show market. I love their cloths but now a fan of their shoes so I'm most likely going to skip on them.
Sweet. Gonna be a lot of excited THPers about this one.

I didn't really think this was that big of news, but I guess I was wrong, so here's the press release on it:
UNDER ARMOUR EXPANDS PARTNERSHIP WITH PROFESSIONAL GOLF PHENOM JORDAN SPIETH
Landmark 10-Year Agreement Underscores Under Armour’s Long-Term Commitment to Spieth and to the Brand’s Growing Golf Category
Baltimore, MD (January 21, 2015) – Today, Under Armour (NYSE:UA) announced a comprehensive, 10-year partnership extension with professional golfer Jordan Spieth. Spieth, who joined the Under Armour family in 2013 upon turning professional at the age of 19, is the first golfer to be outfitted in head-to-toe Under Armour® apparel, footwear and accessories during competition.
One of the rising stars in the sport, Spieth is currently ranked 9[SUP]th[/SUP] in the Official World Golf Rankings and captured his first PGA Tour victory at the 2013 John Deere Classic. Spieth will be included in international marketing, digital, print and social media campaigns for the brand and has also been deeply involved in the development and wear-test of the first Under Armour golf shoe, which will debut in Spring, 2015.
“Jordan is an incredible talent and has already accomplished so much in his short career,” said Ryan Kuehl, Senior Category Director, Global Golf and Tennis, Under Armour. “We are proud to have him lead the Under Armour golf team and help him sustain championship results over the next decade. This long-term commitment to each other emphasizes Under Armour’s continuing drive for dominance in the golf category and to provide all golfers with the most innovative performance gear from head-to-toe.”
Since turning professional in December of 2012 at the age of 19, Spieth has accumulated 18 top-10 finishes on the PGA TOUR including five runner-ups; the most notable of which came at the 2014 Masters Tournament where he became the youngest runner-up in Masters history. He was also selected to play on the 2014 United States Ryder Cup team, earning distinction as the 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] youngest American ever to play in the competition. Prior to his career on Tour, he led the University of Texas Longhorns to a 2012 NCAA Championship and also earned low amateur honors at the 2012 US Open.
“I’ve really enjoyed being on this journey with Under Armour since turning professional, and I can’t wait to accomplish great things together in this next phase of my career,” Spieth said. “Like me, everyone at Under Armour challenges themselves to get better every day. I’m looking forward to continuing to test their newest innovations as I know their products will help me train and perform my best for years to come.”
This past November, Spieth won his second professional tournament at the Emirates Australian Open. A week later, he completed back-to-back victories by winning the Hero World Challenge and set a tournament scoring record of 26-under-par.

Just interviewed him on Morning Drive. Solid deal for both sides and I want to see what the final released shoe will look like. Been a couple different looks in the proto.
I'll be interested in seeing their designs and styles. I've never owned a pair of UnderArmour shoes, so I have no idea what to expect.
Been waiting for these shoes to come out! Can't wait to see them in person. UA making some splashes in the golf word!

I absolutely love the comfort of their boots and honestly can't wait for the shoes.
Bring on the UA shoes.
this is exciting. i've owned a couple pairs of UA basketball shoes and they are very comfortable compared to nike & adidas that i have worn.
Been looking forward to UA golf shoe. I like and have many UA items and will definitely be looking at and giving these a try.

Can't wait to see what they come up with
Any word if they will be a spiked or spikeless version or both hopefully?
