Meh, any hat would awkward with that mop spilling out of it. Methinks he should switch to visors, but then he'd have to worry about a Tommy Armour III "visor curtain" scenario.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

His middle name is "Yutaka." Draw your own conclusions. Check out some of his video blogs; he calls his mom "crazy Asian."

Or does he just have a funny head?

Looks to me like he could have doubled for Carol Brady:

Better than the ugly visors anyways.

Times are a-changin', hip hop hats has made their entry on the PGA Tour. Ryan Moore also sports this kind of hat.

I'm not a fan either, but if they paid me what they are paying him to wear it you can bet I'd be sporting one too.

Exactly.I'd dress like a smurf or a traffic cone too for a few million quid.

When he's banked 100 million he'll pay 10 million for the rights to the video and photos when he looked like a garbage man.

Wow... a little hatin' going on in here over a hat. I doubt he's being paid to dress like that. He dresses like that and they pay him to put logos on there (just like everyone else on tour).

I don't mind the originality in how the golfers dress, whether it's Poulter, Fowler, or the late Stewart. It's just a game... have some fun with it.

Make no mistake about it ... R.F. is paid by Puma to dress in what they want him seen in: http://golf.puma.com/us/en/2010/05/0...r-the-players/ That's the business of professional sports these days.

Am I the only one here that likes the style? Maybe it's only cause I'm younger but if I could rock it, I would. I would probably look stupid in it though hahah.

iPutt ... I am sure there are lots of you that could rock this look, and that is what Puma is banking on. They are targeting a younger demographic, and that's fine. Personally I am more the Dockers/Columbia/IZOD type, but to each their own. I just know I feel better in khaki and green than aqua blue or OSU orange. Although I am tempted to try a pair of Loudmouth Pants ..

No stupider than Fowler does. The hat looks more like a batting helmet than a golf hat. And the rest of the outfit?????? I like the traffic cone comparison.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
