If you make a
living as a PGA golfer, chances are you have game.
From hitting a
300-yard drive with ease to routinely being armed with blue-eyed blondes; most of
the golfers in Doral for the 2015 WGC Cadillac Championship, starting with
Thursday’s first round, are the envy of weekend hackers everywhere.
But just because
most golfers are blessed with stylish swings doesn’t necessarily mean they’re
on top of their games when it comes to looking their best on the course, John Daly’s pajama pants included. But for every
color-uncoordinated golfer, like Daly, there’s a ‘classic’ wardrobe champion
like Bubba Watson
Here are the ‘Top 5 Best Dressed Golfers’ on
the PGA Tour.
BUBBA WATSON: Watson, last year’s Doral runner-up, has
not only made it cool to look classic on the golf course, but has developed his own
style with those awesome high-buttoned shirts, white leather belts and white
shoes. Watson, who definitely makes Oakley look good and in four starts this
season has three top-10 finishes, also has a tendency to sport a really funky
Richard Mille Swiss watch valued at $500,000.. So, don’t lose track of time
kids because Bubba .. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1600203-masters-champ-bubba-watson-still-wears-500000-watch-because-he-is-awesome
IAN POULTER: You
have to respect a man who not only plays on the PGA Tour and European Tour, but
doesn’t think twice about wearing multi-color plaid pants and traditional knickers
with zipper polo shirts. Poulter’s awesome hair also flows nicely through his
visors. Dude experiments with his look and just doesn’t give a crap what you
think, which makes him a player in my book.. http://old.seattletimes.com/html/sherrygrindeland/2001983744_grin20e.html
JIMMY WALKER: If Walker, who came out of nowhere to win
three PGA events in 2013-14, continues to make strides the Texas-native won’t
have to worry about being confused with the Good
Times comedian. Sporting Iliac Golf
since 2013, Walker always looks sporty, but a tad sophisticated especially in
white plants and black polo shirts with white collars. Jimmy ‘The Golfer’ keeps
it traditional while pushing the envelope, kind of like the other Jimmy.. http://www.golfdigest.com/blogs/the-loop/2014/02/the-company-that-dresses-jimmy.html
RORY MCLLROY: Rory does wanders with a little white
ball and definitely puts style in the swoosh with chic and colorful Nike
outfits, which include a variety of stripped polo shirts and light-colored
pants. And he always tops it off with a colorful and coordinated hat, adding an
innovative coolness to his wardrobe. Rory always makes a statement with his choice
of clothes, albeit a very refreshing statement. http://www.golfchannel.com/news/equipment-insider/pga-fashion-mcilroy-favorite-my-favorite/
JUSTIN THOMAS: Thomas isn’t playing Doral, but the
former University of Alabama golfer will probably be fielding calls from GQ for
featured print ads sooner than later, especially with his preference for a preppy
Polo Ralph Lauren look in which he mixes and matches green, purple and white
solids and strips nicely, not just your ordinary red and blue. He keeps it
cool, but with a touch of All-American class..http://www.pgatour.com/style-report/2015/02/18/style-insider-golf-apparel-stylish-newcomers-rookies-pga-tour-2014-2015-season.html
