Golf Fashion 101

Since I will be headed to Augusta in the next couple of weeks to intern at the 2011 Master's Golf Tournament, I thought it would be proper to point out a few of golf's elite that are iconic for their signature style. If you aren't a golf fan, you probably don't know how much attention they get for their daily outfits during a tournament. So I've decided to write "Golf Fashion 101" to point out those who have made big statements in the golf world....

Tiger Woods

Let's begin with the most obvious fashion statement...Tiger is famous for wearing his "Sunday Red' shirts. No matter what, he wears red on top on the last day of a tournament.

Rickie Fowler

At just 22, Rickie has made noise in the world of golf due to the loud fashions he sports on the course. He is sponsored by Puma & usually picks one color for an entire outfit. The above outfit is my favorite...he was wearing pink shoes, too!

Ricky Barnes

Ricky Barnes has been known to don the classic "Painter" hat during tournament play. To be honest, that's how I recognize him on tv! So the style must be sticking....



Camilo Villegas

Camilo is known for his metro style. He always looks very sleek and wears crazy shoes made of alligator and other exotic materials. He's also received attention for this crazy pose above....



Payne Stewart 

The late Payne Stewart is considered by some as the man who started the signature golf style. While everyone else was dressed in polos & slacks, Payne was also decked in golf attire of the 1920's. Knickers and an old-school newsboy cap are iconic of Payne Stewart.



Greg Norman

Greg Norman was nicknamed "The Shark" because of the fact that he liked to swim with Great White sharks in his native land of Australia prior to becoming a pro golfer. His hair style, size, and aggressive golf game also had a little to do with it. He later trademarked his signature multicolored outline of a shark and marketed clothing along with other golf merchandise.

Jack Nicklaus

Jack Nicklaus is by far one of the greatest golf players of all time. His nickname was coined by his first agent, Mark McCormack. When a reporter asked McCormack to describe Nicklaus, he called him "The Golden Bear" because he was "large, blond, & stong". Nicklaus later started his company Golden Bear, Inc, and from that came the iconic logo.
