The PGA Tour has featured smartly dressed players since the start of the Tour.  Walter Hagan, Ben Hogan, Bobby Jones, Gary Player, and Dave Marr, just to name a few.  Dave Marr was named the best-dressed player on Tour several years in a row.  Today, the fashion is a little bit more “in your face” with John Daly’s Loudmouth pants and Rickie Fowler’s Oranges and Yellows, but for the most part, I think PGA (and LPGA for that matter) players are smartly dressed.  This is something that many amateurs can learn from, based on what I see every day on the golf course!

I have always taken my cue from Gary Player, and to this day, I button up the top button on my shirt.  It all started when I played in a tournament with my very good friend Simon Hobday, nicknamed “Scruffy,” for a good reason.  His shirt was hanging out, his shoes were untied, and my dad said to me, “Look at Gary Player and how smart he looks.  Don’t end up looking like Simon.”  I have tried to be professional in my dress code ever since.  But I still would hate to see Scruffy ever change!

Bryson DeChambeau

Not many amateurs have signature looks, but Bryson’s, cultivated as a junior and college golfer, has become quickly recognizable. This pink Hogan cap/camo sweater he wore last week in Qatar is an interesting mix of classic and contemporary style that DeChambeau owns from head to toe.

 

 

 

We’ll give JD license to wear whatever Loudmouth looks he likes with the caveat that the clothes should fit regardless of the color. The windbreaker here, however, is so long it looks like he’s wearing a moo moo.

 

 

Glad to see Badds break out some color at Torrey Pines when the weather went south on Sunday. Given there’s plenty of colorful foul-weather gear in all sorts of other sports, I’ve always been confused at the sea of black and navy that dominates any wet-weather day on tour.
