The annual AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Tournament kicked off on February 8th in California. The professional-amateur tournament pairs up Professional Golf Association (PGA) players with celebrities who play for charity. The biggest news to come from this tournament has been the buzz over comedian and Caddyshack actor, Bill Murray’s blue and yellow floral “Bill Bottoms,” one of his many statement pieces he graces the course with.
There seems to be a golf fashion craze as of late, especially with the inaugural style issue of Golf Magazine that just hit newsstands this February. Adam Scott adorns the cover in a white ribbed knit turtleneck pulled over his mouth inspired by an iconic James Dean photo. The magazine proclaimed PGA player Adam Scott and LPGA player Michelle Wei as the “most stylish in golf.”
Golf is one of the only sports that does not have a uniform because it is an individual sport that can be played in business casual clothing. Golf fans and enthusiast do not dress up in a jersey to support their favorite player, but instead opt to dress like their favorite players.
Rickie Fowler, who is endorsed by Cobra Puma, is considered the anti-country clubber due to his eccentrically colorful outfits and matching flat caps. Many young golfers and fans try to emulate his look the same way men in the early to mid-2000s wore a simple red polo, black pants and a black Nike hat like Tiger Woods.
Golf has given people the opportunity to wear outfits that they would normally never wear in the general public. Payne Stewart, whose career was cut short by a deadly plane accident, was known for wearing traditional golf knickers with golf socks and an argyle sweater, all in one outfit. Golfers get to express their personality through their clothing with wild colors, stripes, checks and other crazy designs. I won't even get started on John Daly or Payne Stewart.
