I had a feeling that this was related to body hair and googled "Bubba top button", sure enough:

“I didn’t like how my chest hair stuck out from the top of my shirts, so I started buttoning them all the way up to the top. Now, everybody recognises me as the guy who buttons his shirts to the top, so it’s just something I do naturally.” - Bubba

It's born from insecurity when he was a teenager and just kept going from there. Now he's stuck with it, if he got caught unbuttoned it would be a social media meltdown.

Men are supposed to be hairy.

Not sure JD is really considered on the Tour so I won't pick him.  Poulter's outfits are something I'd never wear at any age.  I don't dislike what Fowler wears, but I'm not in my 20's or a good enoug

I can't stand the combos that Matt Kuchar rolls out. To me, he was equally bad as Jim Furyk but those brutal 5 Hour Energy hats give the "edge" to Jimmy Furyk.

Kuchar is getting better though. He is starting to look more put together. It used to be really bad.

A lot of good points were made but a guy that tops my list is Ernie Els. He dresses like a an old grandpa. I am sure his pants aren't cheap but they look it....kind of Caddyshackesk when they dressed up for the yacht christening . Pleats and old style shoes... I swear he puts on velcro new balance shoes after the round is over...

Largely due to the lack of logos during his day. Logos plastered all over your shirt and hat look stupid, and are just a classless way of making additional bucks. Some pros are worse than others, and the LPGA seems to take it to an extreme. I think Ben Hogan would gag if he saw the way the pros dress today. He was still alive when logos became common, but I think it has gotten worse since he passed away.

His swimming game isn't much better. I saw him in a bright orange bathing suit in a hotel in Montreal. True story!

I hate to keep rehashing threads but dammit Ernie dings my pet peeves... I just don't know why he has to dress like the Skipper from Gilligan's Island... C'mon semi flood pants. black socks and white orthopedic shoes....

Concur, he looks pretty dumpy out there.  I don't think he's ever had a decent apparel contract.  His priorities are elsewhere, I suppose.  Gotta respect that.

Hard to respect someone who looks like a clown if you didn't know them already.

Ernie Els looks fine to me

Of course I am 6'3", outweigh him and have 15 years on him

Now the golf hipster look is too much for me

Golf has always had one of the weirdest dress codes in all of sports.  Payne Stewart raised the bar with the knickers, argyle socks and tam hats.  We inherited some of the weirdness from the Scottish.  Red pants, plaid pants, flowered pants, two tone shoes.  Ricky Fowler pushes the envelope. I think he wears softball pants.  It is now an interesting mix of ultra traditional clothing with some oddball stuff to keep it interesting. What is with all of those white disco belts?

The 1950s set the trend with all of those cool sweaters. I wore than for years. Ben Hogan, and Arnold Palmer were good dressers. So were Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen and Walter Haigen

I think Fowler is a great player and overall good guy, but the high top shoes and jogger pants are jusypt ugly. Combine that with a "King" hat and you have an ugly combination.

Agree. The pants look dumb and the announcers are starting to make fun of them.

Yup, I think that Fowler takes the blue ribbon of the guys on Tour now.  I'd include Daly, but he's so rarely involved any more that he's just a footnote.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
