The second Major championship of the year is upon us and again, we get to see some special Major championship apparel scripts for players. At Pinehurst Resort’s No. 2 course, the muggy humidity and North Carolina heat will be no match for the cool and comfortable styles Nike Golf athletes will be sporting at this year’s US Open. Make sure to check out the Masters edition Nike Golf scripts as well, especially the shoes!
As we were introduced to at the Nike Innovation Summit a couple of months ago, Nike Golf athletes will tee off in Elite COoling apparel designed to beat the heat, featuring lightweight fabrics for ventilation and breathability. The nine Nike Golf Athletes that will compete at the 2014 U.S. Open are Rory McIlroy, Paul Casey, Oliver Fisher, Russell Henley, Francesco Molinari, Seung Yul Noh, Charl Schwartzel, Kevin Tway and Nike Watney.
