Teaming up once again with men’s fashion designer Todd Snyder, FootJoy introduces the “Mint Julep” Premiere Series, a limited-edition collection of golf shoes that capture the spirit of the Kentucky Derby. Available in both Wilcox and Field models, these shoes boast elevated patent leather accents and a refreshing mint outsole, channeling the iconic Mint Julep cocktail.
Already a popular choice among PGA Tour players, the Premiere Series is set to make waves at the 2024 PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky. Look for these shoes adorning the feet of golfers like Max Homa, Will Zalatoris, Justin Thomas, and Adam Scott.
“We’re thrilled about this latest collaboration with FootJoy,” says Todd Snyder. “We’ve combined classic design elements with inspiration from the Derby, all wrapped up in modern style and cutting-edge technology. You might not win the tournament, but you can certainly be the best-dressed golfer in your group.”

The PGA Championship is the second men’s Major of the season. It takes place in May, each year in a different host city. This year’s event is the 106th edition. It will take place from 16–19 May at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, a private golf club designed by Jack Nicklaus that has hosted the PGA Championship on three previous occasions.
The FJ x Todd Snyder “Mint Julep” Premiere Series drops today, May 14th, at 11:00 AM ahead of the prestigious PGA Championship, is a homage not only to the host city of Louisville but also to the iconic Kentucky Derby and its traditional mint-garnished signature cocktail.
