Thomas Detry (Hugo Boss & G/FORE)
I feel like a super sleuth trying to solve the mystery of what shoes Thomas Detry is wearing. They look like a mix of the G/FORE Gallivanter and MG4. Are they the soon-to-be-released Gallivant2r?
Jason Day (Malbon Golf)
I am not sure if there is a golfing scene in Mad Men but if there is I can imagine Don Draper wearing these tweed trousers and crisp white long-sleeve polo on the course. The belt however reminds me of my college days at UMass in the mid 90’s.
Jake Knapp (Original Penguin & Nike)
Original Penguin is known for their vintage-styled golf apparel. This merino wool blend golf sweater has a timeless and elegant appearance that will keep you looking proper. The piping at the collar, placket, and cuffs adds contrast to the solid-colored design for a sophisticated yet casual look, on or off the course.
Ben Martin (Vineyard Vines & FootJoy)
Ben Martin’s navy sweater vest over the striped Vineyard Vines Palmero Polo is classic styling at its best. Say “yes” to the vest.
Collin Morikawa (adidas Golf)
Oatmeal and black is one of my favorite color combinations lately. Keeping the collar tucked into the sweater creates a cleaner and more streamlined look.
Chad Hambright (Linksoul & FootJoy)
The goat camo design on the Linksoul Delray Polo is unassumingly bold (and on sale).
Aaron Baddeley (johnnie-O & FootJoy)
While the digital camo print on the johnnie-O Gridlock Performance Microfleece is audaciously bold (and also on sale).
Sam Bennett (johnnie-O & FootJoy)
Ok, ok. So, this isn’t from the Farmers Insurance Open but I was surprised to see Sam Bennett do the old slack-switcheroo (slackeroo?) during the final round of The Bahamas Great Abaco Classic. These look like Primo joggers to me. Someone has some splainin to do!
Ryo Hisatsune (TaylorMade & adidas Golf)
I cannot get enough of Ryo Hisatsune. Each week I keep my fingers crossed that he will be in the field. His vibe is alive and rereshing.
Charley Hoffman (Greg Norman Collection & FootJoy)
I do not know who the first person to wear Boa on the PGA Tour was, but if I had to guess, my answer would be Charley Hoffman. He has been in Boa since 2012!
Min Woo Lee (Lululemon & FootJoy)
This plum-colored jacket looks great on Min Woo Lee. And as much as I miss him in AmazingCRE, he looks dialed in with Lululemon.
Tyson Alexander (Live Forever Golf & FootJoy)
This Dusty Rose colorway of the Live Forever Golf Sunrise Quarterzip was my favorite LFG item until I met the Dawn Patrol Knit Hoodie in Sand Dune.
Tom Hoge (Flag & Anthem & FootJoy)
Tom Hoge is joining Keegan Bradley as a Flag & Anthem ambassador. I recently had an opportunity to wear some items from their Madeflex Golf collection and I was super impressed. I pledge my allegiance to their Performance button-up shirts. Trust me. These are awesome.
