Min Woo Lee (AmazingCre & Nike)
I’ve seen a lot of things in golf fashion, but I had to do a triple take on this one. Min Woo Lee showed us why the short-sleeved sweater with tied cuffs is the layering piece we didn’t know we needed. I didn’t even know such a thing existed! Throw in camouflage pattern with skulls and that’s the next level. Thanks Min Woo for providing the trendy fireworks during a somewhat pedestrian weekend. He’s the vibey-est player in pro golf right now.

Between the ‘Play to Live’ NRG kicks and apparel, Nike saved the best for the last major tournament of the year. (Well, except for those waterproof sealants. See below.)

Jordan Spieth (Under Armour)
Over the course of this week, we’ve had the most questions about Jordan Spieth’s gear since he pitched that prototype golf shoe from Under Armor back in the day. Sure, hoodies and joggers aren’t exactly fashion trends at this point, but they’re pushing Spieth’s fashion forward. We’ve been screaming for him to change his style for a while and he finally did…and it looked so good to him. Expect the runners to hit retail later this year.

Throw the JL bridge logo on the back of a solid polo shirt, or in this case a jacket, and I’m all in. Why not get a more classic JL look than some of the crazy things we’ve been seeing lately?
Rory McIlroy (Nike)
He remembers dress phenomenon 2015? Was it black and blue or white and gold? I got the same kind of feelings with you Rory’s pants. At first glance, they looked like a khaki hum. But wait…are they actually rosy? No, it’s definitely khaki… except now it looks pink. Nike calls this color Pink Oxford. I just call it tantalizing, but Pink Oxford > Khaki any day.

Rory McIlroy
Rory manages to achieve the rare “Double Dimes and Crimes” by landing on both lists. I applaud Nike for trying a color other than black for water resistance, but dark gray just wasn’t the answer.
