What would happen if....

You mean the LPGA? I think you know: Because, whether for good or for bad, their ability to market themselves includes not just how well they play golf but on how good they look. If they all wore pants, TV ratings would drop like a stone, along with sponsors and prize money.

They can look as good or as bad as they want and there are both extremes on that Tour. I would say more extremes than on the PGA Tour.

any notice bernhard langer's pants at the boeing classic??

they had the extra two pockets and IMO classified as cargo pants.

is this against the rules also? and so i have it straight, the players can wear shorts in the US Open?

Not sure what point you're making. I'm just saying sex sells, that's why LPGA players wear shorts. I'm not saying that's the only reason people watch the LPGA, I'm just saying it's a huge factor. And that it's hardly a factor at all for the men. (There might be a few coffee shop waitresses who prefer Tiger's shirts are as tight-fitting as possible, but that's about it.)

you doubt what? that he was wearing them or that theyre cargo pants?

he undeniably was wearing them, was also wearing similar pants at the senior open. http://www.khakicrusader.com/index.p...ay=995&from;=24

I was trying to subtly say that some of the women should consider wearing pants and that some of the outfits are out there. Yes, there are others that pull it off with no problem (no pun intended).

I know plenty marines that wont wear shorts and insist on ewaring 2 shirts when running/hiking here in hawaii and on the mainland. You actually stay cooler somehow. I cant. But I know my bro wears two shirts no matter what were doing and sweats a lot less. I grew up caddying at winged foot an dyou couldnt wear shorts. Caddies or members. I asked my mom once and she said Noone wants to see old Mr. Wyatts wrinkled legs. lol

I suppose those would technically be cargo pants, but theyr'e not the heinous creations that got banned. You know the ones you can wear to a barbecue and you don't need to bring a cooler. 6-pack of Coors in this pocket, barbecue sauce in that one, pickles anyone?

Heh, ok I see what you meant now. Yeah, on the PGA side, some of those guys might consider a girdle. Worked for William Shatner.

the ones in the picture are from the senior open earlier in the year. the ones he wore at the boeing classic looked like he was going hiking.

I got one - since men arent allowed to wear shorts but women are allowed in skirts, why dont men just start wearing skirts if you guys think thats such a urgent matter?

E.g -

- the sunday outfit would be a great match for Ian Poulters liking, and maybe Saturday fits well with Tiger? Alternatively they still could go the scottish route...

anyone???

anyone???

Players can not wear shorts at the US Open either.
