Golf Attire Question

[Karl Woods]

this might sound alittle stupid but nevermind,

why do most golfers you see on tv wear baseball caps? or golfers in general for that matter

[Cooker]

My guess would be to help protect them from the sun. Also to help keep the sun out of their eyes.

Keep the sun out of my eyes and protect my balding head.

They all wear some type of headwear (cap or visor) for one main reason, they are getting paid to do so. It is the best spot on the human body to advertise.

Amateurs, I beleive do it to look cool.

Yes definitely the best advertising space! Just look at Formula 1. Most expensive advertising space was Michael Schumachers cap.

Yep, ad space. If you look at old golf broadcast videotapes, you'll see few caps, since at the time I believe that the PGA did not allow advertising logos on attire. Now that they do, the players are walking billboards - look at John Daly's shirt!
