Sun Day Red

Tiger Woods and Sun Day Red are at it again.

Wednesday brought with it the news that SDR has introduced the Presidio to the golfing world, a revolutionary spikeless shoe that is designed to marry technical performance with modern, everyday style. That is the Sun Day Red way, after all.

The lure of the Presidio is that it offers elite-level stability and traction without the traditional spikes that many people have grown tired of with conventional shoes. It is also visually stunning.

The Presidio features a Torsional Traction Plate with exposed traction lugs that grip the turf, a Lateral Stability Brace for lateral support during the swing sequence, and an External Heel Counter that locks the heel in place.

“We wanted to create the best spikeless golf shoe in the game—better stability and ground connection without removable spikes,” said Charley Hudak, Senior Creative Director, Footwear. “When you’re working with Tiger, the goal is always to enhance performance for elite golfers. The Torsional Traction Plate and Lateral Stability Brace work together with the external heel counter to change how the shoe performs. You feel more connected to the ground, more stable, and that lets you harness more power through your swing.”

The full-length ground contact rubber outsole with multi-directional lugs maximizes ground force reactions for optimal power transfer. The upper is mesh-reinforced with TPU film in strategic zones for durability and support, while 3/4 bootie construction with engineered foam padding ensures comfort and breathability through 36-hole days.

“We built the Presidio to perform at the highest level, but it needed to look great too,” added Hudak. “It’s a spikeless golf shoe without compromise. We expect to see it on the biggest stages and at the best courses around the world.”

Since launching as a company SDR has proven that elite performance and visual appeal can and should always co-exist, and the Presidio is the latest example of that overall endeavor.

It debuted today at the PGA Merchandise Show and will be available for purchase on February 17, 2026 at sundayred.com and fine golf shops.
