GOLF star Bubba Watson turned up to the final day of practice ahead of the PGA Championship wearing a pair of £170 pink classic trainers.

The two-time Masters winner dropped a hint about his choice of shoes via his social media on Tuesday.

Bubba, 42, shared a video of him unboxing the Air Jordan 4 golf trainers and suggested he was going to wear them out on the course.

Alongside the clip, he said: "I don't think you all are ready for these this week."

Watson is looking for his first victory at the PGA Championship, 11 years on from finishing runner-up behind Martin Kaymer.

The PGA Championship takes place at Kiawah Island this week, with Rory McIlory among the favourites for the second major of the year.

McIlroy, who won by eight shots in 2012 and is fresh from his Wells Fargo victory, is the shortest price with most bookmakers.

“Us getting together was supposed to be a short-term thing back in 2017. I ended up really enjoying it, really liking it, and we made the decision that this was going to be a long-term thing. And it’s worked out great.

“We’ve had six wins together and the reason I want to single Harry out is that I feel like he gets some negativity around the relationship that’s very unfair and uncalled for.

“But people don’t know him and they don’t really know me.

“They see things from the outside and maybe they didn’t notice that he was the one who kept a cool head when maybe I wasn’t in the best place.

“It wasn’t the first time. And that’s why I will always protect him from the armchair critics, who don’t always see the full picture.”
