So you're not playing in the U.S. Open this week? Well, that's too bad, but even if your game is not U.S. Open-worthy, your apparel can be. The US Open begins June 13, 2013, and while we have no clue who will win, we do know what Tiger Woods and a host of other favorite players will be wearing Thursday through Sunday as they traverse the hallowed grounds of Marion Golf Club. Tiger, Rory and the rest of the Nike Tour staff will be wearing lightweight, breathable, performance apparel from the Nike Summer 2013 Collection as they battle the heat and humidity outside Philadelphia. If these players trust the performance benefits of Nike fabrication to help them face professional golf's toughest test, you can be assured these same features will help you through the heat of your next nassau.
Tiger Woods, once again the odds-on favorite to take home the Open Trophy, will be relying on the latest innovations in the Nike Tiger Woods TW Collection. Sweat-wicking fabric with strategic laser perforations for added breathability is among the features of the TW Polos in play at historic Merion. Contrast seam taping and a kimono style back design offer free-swinging comfort to minimize distractions. Tiger’s lineup of polos includes the TW Trajectory Polo in Violet Force, the TW Stripe Polo in White/Electric Orange, the TW Chest Stripe Polo in Fiberglass and the TW Graphic Polo in Hyper Red. Tiger will be sporting his new TW ’14 Golf Shoes, as well.
Rory McIlroy’s US Open look is from the Nike Tour Performance Collection, which offers lightweight, breathable performance fabric. Thursday, Rory sports the Fashion Body Map Graphic Polo in Ice Blue, which features roller perforated insets on the side for ventilation. Friday he’ll wear the Lightweight Tech Polo in Electro Orange, and Saturday he’ll have on the Fashion Jacquard Polo in Violet Force. For the Sunday finale, McIlroy will wear the Nike Graphic Polo in Poison Green, which offers a full body map on the back panel for ventilation. Nike Lunar Control Golf Shoes complete his ensemble each day.
