As part of his victory, Spieth, clad in Under Armour gear, accepted a state-inspired championship trophy along with a custom set of new cowboy boots; he also will receive around $1.3 million of the $7.7 million purse. The professional athlete will now head into the Masters this weekend as a leading favorite for the world-renown tournament.
As he received his new and monumental cowboy boots, Spieth slipped on the western pair as a symbol of positive change.
Throughout the Valero Texas Open, the 27-year-old golfer sported a white set of golf shoes courtesy of his collaboration with Under Armour. Spieth has been an Under Armour athlete since 2013, signing on with a 2-year endorsement deal before the brand started anew with a 10-year contract starting in 2015. The deal guarantees that Spieth will wear only the American sportswear label from head to toe; thanks to that deal, Forbes ranks Spieth as its 52nd highest-paid athlete in the world with earnings of $27.6 million as of May 2020.
The PGA Tour sensation’s first golf shoe with the brand, the Under Armour Spieth One, debuted in 2017 and he has since released a total of four silhouettes with the label.
“It’s been a great experience to be involved in the development of Under Armour’s first golf footwear line, and I’ve learned a lot about how important my gear is to my game,” Spieth told FN in 2016.
