Here’s a close-up of Van Rooyen’s pant legs. The bottoms are elastic like sweatpants.

Pajama bottoms

Is it possible to have a discussion on social media without someone injecting an insult?

Where's the insult?

To me they are akin to sweatpants and inappropriate for tour events. Am I an over-the-hill curmudgeon?

Oh, here it is. In the OP. By you.

They look weird to me but do your thing.  If he wears them like that around here in July the biting flies will be very grateful.

I’m going with yes. They’re pants and the PGA Tour is obviously fine with them. Fashion changes.

Were people like this when golfers stopped playing in sports jackets and knickerbockers?

Probably!

It's just a pair of pants. It's not like it says "JUICY" across his butt or something.

Pretty soon sponsors will want to do that!

You’re right! I’m heading out for tattoos and facial piercings right after I get what’s left of my hair pinked!

I saw as a tongue and cheek comment. Please take a step back.

I think when one of us labels himself as an old codger, as I have done more than a few times, its not unfair for a younger guy to agree.  I too don't like some of the current styles, and I too am admittedly an old codger.  All of you young whippersnappers out there, feel free to pile on!

maybe a little poking fun, like I would expect/enjoy from any of my fraternity brothers…certainly not a biting insult.

The most offensive part of this pair of pants is not the cuff, but that they’re bordering on capris length 😜

Maybe his wife or girlfriend (or both? 😄) think he has some sexy ankles?

It is actually quite shocking that we in 2021 are having this discussion. It's mindblowing that shorts are not allowed many placed where the temperatures reaches +30-40°C in 2021. I'm pretty sure that close to 100% of the tourpro's would wear shorts in the hottest locations/events if it was allowed. In all other sports you wear clothes that doesn't hinder your performance. Playing golf in 40°C in long pants is just crazy. It's time to lighten the rules on dresscode on courses around the world a bit now, we are not living in the 19th century anymore. PS! I don't mind those Van Rooyen joggers either, they're ok. 🙂

As I understand it, the PGA Tour is largely self-governing.  If the players really want to play in shorts, they can change the dress code.

And they don't because on the advice of their essentially "elected" officials, they realize that sponsors wouldn't like this, etc.

I actually find pants are cooler than shorts.  Hot weather and the sun directly on my skin is hotter than with the pants on.  Use cotton type pants and you will enjoy it more

I'm cool with the joggers. They've actually grown on me quite a bit.
But why would you want to wear joggers called "U Suck At Golf"?
