Why you shouldn’t hate on Justin Thomas’ cardigan-and-tie combo
The Twitterverse had a field day with Justin Thomas’ Ralph Lauren cardigan-and-tie combination.
While Thomas let the world know what he’d be wearing earlier this week, when he donned the outfit, it caught some of the good folks on Twitter by surprise. That, or it didn’t end up looking like they’d expected based on this sketch.
.@RalphLauren has outdone themselves this week! Loving the classic Open look with the tie and cardigan on Thursday ???????? #pologolf pic.twitter.com/kHmozyx3s0

Here are a few of the takes.
Justin Thomas is dressed like he's 15 beers deep into a wedding

Justin Thomas hasn't done that outfit justice! ???? #TheOpen

Has to be said – Justin Thomas looks bloody ridiculous
— James Corrigan (@jcorrigangolf) July 20, 2017
Thomas opened with an excellent three-under 67 and offered this bit of humor after the round.
When you have a tee time at 9:58 but a business meeting at 4 ???? https://t.co/ZUTtVBeXj6

But just like we approved of Rickie Fowler’s Payne Stewart tribute plus-fours at the U.S. Open a couple of years back, we approve of Thomas/Ralph Lauren’s decision to honor the traditions of the game with his Thursday getup.
Majors offer apparel sponsors the largest number of captive eyeballs, so bold choices that get people talking are wise. When those choices harken back to a more formal era in the game, it’s both cool to see and a unique element of the game. You’re not going to see anyone in the NBA lacing up Chuck Taylors, after all.
Only complaint? Thomas should have borrowed a hat from Bryson DeChambeau.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons
In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.
For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- btyh: “Holy offset.”
- Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
- bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing
As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.
Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.
Watch @shanelowrygolf, @graysonmurray, @smyliekaufman10, and @samrydersu in #SrixonVS. pic.twitter.com/C4LJwQgmZ7— Srixon (@SrixonGolf) June 25, 2018
Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.
