Surely nothing is as cool, or as fun, as wearing some Golf Knickers down the golf course. Here is our list of those golfers who tried & succeeded at pulling off golf’s most fun piece of clothing.
Fredrik Jacobsen: The Swede, who is famous for his bright golf clothing, was once quoted as saying “[I wear golf knickers because] it draws attention away from my gut”. Nice ploy there Freddy! We think he rocks the colourful golf wear with some serious swagger – keep up the good work.
Ian Poulter: For The Open in 2004, Ian Poulter slapped on a pair of bright tartan knickers. This wasn’t too out of the blue as back in 2004, crazy golf pants, outrageous golf clothing and Ian Poulter all meant the same thing!
Payne Stewart: The late Payne Stewart was a fashion forward kind of guy and famous for wearing argyle sweaters, bright golf socks and funky golf knickers. The most iconic plus four photo of all time may just be the image taken after he holed out on the 18th at Pinehurst to win his 2nd US Open.
Rickie Fowler: Fast forward 15 years and Rickie went old school to pay tribute to his idol, Payne Stewart, and jumped into a pair of knickers for the US Open at Pinehurst. He looked like one Awesome dude and went on to finish Tied 2 come Sunday. Definitely a cool way to pay tribute to one of golfs all time greats.
Gene Sarazen: Gene Sarazen wore golf knickers back in the 1960’s when they were all the rage. They say fashion goes full circle and we reckon 2015 is the year that stylish plus twos make their big comeback! Little known fact: Gene Sarazen was only 5 foot 5; proof that knickers can still work for the smaller gentleman.
Tintin: We couldn’t write an article on knickers without mentioning the main man – Tintin! Travelling round the world with this loyal companion, Snowy, and looking the part in his plus twos!
