Nike TW ’14 golf shoe
Tiger Woods wasted no time breaking in the newest version of his Nike Free-inspired golf shoe, the TW ’14.
Woods wore the shoes during all four rounds at The Players Championship in route to his fourth win on the PGA Tour in 2013, and his first win of The Players since 2001.
Like the TW ’13, the new model is designed to mimic the natural motion of the foot. That gives Woods a better connection to the ground, as well as a freedom of movement that he says allows him to release more power in his swings.
“With this shoe, we worked diligently to take every detail to a new level,” said Tobie Hatfield, Athlete Projects Innovator in Nike’s Innovation Kitchen, in a Nike press release.
According to Hatfield, Woods wanted more stability in the new shoe, which was accomplished by instituting Nike’s Dynamic Flywire technology — Nylon fibers that decrease weight and add stability — into the upper portion. The Flywire technology moves with him, but stabilizes his foot when he swings, Hatfield says.
The breathability of the waterproof shoe was also improved by using a full mesh tongue.
The TW ’14 will be available on June 7th, and will sell for around $180. The shoes will come in Black (with red and silver accents) and White (with dark grey and red accents) and will be released in a Grey/Black/Blue/Green colorway on August 1.
They will also be available through Nike’s NikeID store ($225), which allows consumers to choose a wide variety of color and personalization options, as well and two different upper constructions — waterproof or breathable, which is a NikeID exclusive. Through NikeID, consumers can also choose either a spiked or non-spiked outsole.

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Ping G440 Max here.
3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

I bought the white TW 14 and walked on one of our difficult course with hills on 18 holes and only slight pain I experienced but not from the shoes, but from just being tired. The shoes stayed balance and was comfortable over all. I’m glad I waited for the TW 14 since I didn’t like the TW 13’s toe area.

I love the new colours, much better than the white they originally started out with.

I’d buy the Nike ID in a flash – if they take off the silly TW logo. Not a chance I will buy them with that. And I know lots of other golfers that agree. Not sure why Nike hasn’t figured this out.

Really Brian? On what planet would Nike using the most recognized golfer in the world and putting a small emblem on the tongue is a bad move?
Somewhere a village is missing its idiot.

I hope they changed the shape of the toe box where it’s not so big and round. Can’t tell from the pics of course.

They did in fact change the shape somewhat and the shoe appears slimmer. It´s hot!

These shoes are awesome. They look sick. Anyone who says different has poor taste.

I don’t think they look good. I like more classic looking golf shoes. Last year’s looked good in the white, but these look like you’re gonna go pump some iron after the round.

For as good as Nike is at marketing you’d think they would be able to share a couple decent photos of these.
