Whatever he wears, he seems like a nice guy with a lot of game, and golf is just a game.

+1. Had the opportunity to meet him at the hotel during the Barclays in JC. We talked about his win at Greensboro the prior week (my wife and I were there) and wished him well. Seems very down to earth and a genuine nice guy. He's like a Phil Mickelson, but shops at the dollar store.

HE IS ON TOUR and I am just a loser reading a blog. Good to see someone not dressing like a KHAKI ROBOT. THAT SWING is so ugly worse than the clothes, but once again he is making $$$$ and I am just a loser reading a golf blog.

HAHA

Geez, that's my favorite thing about the guy: he looks like a regular guy. But how is his look "sloppy" or "unprofessional"? What he's wearing would be acceptable at any golf course in the country, I think. As pointed out in another recent thread...at least he has a collared shirt, unlike many others on tour with their DryFit T's, etc. (which would technically make them not allowed to play on pretty much every course I've ever been to).

My wife pointed out that pants and shirt are both a little creepy-tight -- not very hipster there, but whatever. Do yourself a favor, bud, and size up a little, or cut down on those cheeseburgers

And the shoes: great! I wear Adidas Brady's (bought a couple pairs before they stopped making 'em), which look exactly like Adidas Superstars, i.e. like basketball shoes not golf shoes. Love the stealth look, and don't feel like a tool if I wind up somewhere other than a golf course in them. You will never see me in two tone saddle shoes.

Really, I don't see how you can say the guy does not look 100% fine. Ok, maybe Tiger looks a tiny bit neater (when he's got a collar on!), but not by much (really just clean shaven and shorter hair). I cannot believe folks say Ryan looks like a clown, when other golfers in white belt, white pants, white shoes, white shirt, white hat, or...clearly that's just the beginning -- gets way worse than that! Some of the guys out there are about one feather boa short of a full-on Liberace look. And those trendy giant belt buckles that look like they should be worn only by a sweaty, greased up WWF "champion"??? Give me a break...who looks like a clown?!?

I find the fashion-plate aspect of PGA Tour golf to be totally lame, chee-Z and distracting. What other sport even comes close?!? Tennis is really the only contender, and it's not even close. You know it's gone WAAAY too far when the ladies on LPGA tour look much, much less like they're trying way too hard -- i.e. they actually look like real people.
