Nike has made some big moves to refresh its golf range for the start of the 2026 season. Bringing back the iconic shield motif from its 2000s-era glory days, the Swoosh has leant more heavily back into lifestyle and fashion-inspired golfwear once again, expanding its range to cater for everyone from casual players to the Rory McIlroys and Scottie Schefflers of the world.

As such, it's only fitting that the sportswear giant has kicked off major season in a big way, dropping an eye-catching collection that has already been seen on the feet of its tour players at the start of festivities for this week's masters.

The highlight of the collection is Nike's debut of two brand new in its golf footwear range. The first, the Pegasus G, is effectively a spiked version of Nike's Pegasus running shoe, equipped with a comfortable foam midsole and an Air Zoom bag in the forefoot an explosive, responsive feel when pushing off your trail foot.

This is joined by the Tempo G, a sporty-looking shoe that incorporates a Nike Free midsole for flexibility and comfort.

Core to the collection's visual identity, however, is a throwback honouring one of the formative players in the early years of Nike's expansion into golf. We're talking, of course, about the smooth-swinging, enduringly-stylish Seve Ballestros, who was talismanic for the brand in its pre-Tiger era.

The collection pays tribute to this by reviving the stacked futura logos Seve wore on his gear at the 1986 Masters, complemented with a modern white and neon yellow colour-scheme.

The collection also includes a revised version of the Nike Next% Tour 3, set to be worn on-course by Brooks Koepka. Already we're seeing the capsule appear on course at Augusta, with Scottie Scheffler stepping out in a special edition colourway of his Victory Pro 4 shoes on Monday.

You can shop the entire collection when it drops this week on Nike's website and at selected retailers.
