Under Armour reps wanted to know why Gary Woodland wasn't wearing UA underwear when he took off his pants to hit out of the water.  When told that he was, they told him that the next time he needs to go pants-less on the course to tuck his shirt into his underwear so people can see their logo on the waistband.

If I were in Woodland's place I don't think I could stop myself from blurting, "are you f***ing serious!?"

Just how much can companies like UA dictate things like this?  Will Woodland retaliate by going commando?  We'll find out the next time Woodland drops his pants on the course.

This is like when the refs would make my soccer team tuck in their shirts before the game during the checkout part. As soon as the whistle blew, they all un-tucked their shirts! Boys and girls. It was comical.

Now that you mention refs, I'm a little surprised that PGA Tour officials do not allow players to wear shorts but will allow players to take off their pants for some shots.

Ha!  Good point! What's the likelihood that John Daly wears SpongeBob underwear?spongebob.jpg?

Gary should have told them to put the logo on the hem....

Haven't  read anything about the Woodland "incident", but Stenson did the same thing a while ago. He was fined for that

The article doesn't show the tone of the conversation, but if I was a betting man, I'd put money down that says the entire conversation was tongue-in-cheek.  I'm sure the reps were being facetious and having a laugh.

That's pretty much how I took it.  However, I have known some sales guys who would have been serious.

      Day 172: mirror work for a while during SNF. Working on cleaning up the early backswing stuff. Definitely seeing the improvements I’m looking for.

      Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.

      Record 35 Under Par for First Contest of the Year

      By saevel25 ·

      OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?
