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?

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.

      Golf Workouts

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
