Golfing attire: function over form?

Modern golf clothing focuses on performance than style. However, performance that's needed in golf attire converges quite nicely with style.

Seen more at recent golf tournaments, the weather is a factor to what professional golfers wear. When it is windy, golfers will wear sweater vests and pullovers. But, as it get's later in the day, the players will get hot and their performance will be affected. Some players anticipate this, and wear clothing that will help them when this problem arises. Normally by wearing a light polo golf shirt and long sleeve undershirt for insulation in the morning. Worn with contrasting colors, this sets up a nice two tone look. Not only does the golf clothing show a new bold look and also helps players stay comfortable in the golf course.

Sergio Garcia played in a bright green golf shirt by Adidas and a white turtleneck under it. The day before, he wore an orange polo shirt with a red undershirt. The nice two tone look this layering allows the golfer a nice freedom of movement and flexibility for the changing weather conditions throughout the day. Golf attire was always considered nerdy and unhip. But lately, younger golfers have been playing the sport, and they have taken their style onto the golfing green and have been influencing the fashion trends in golf. Younger professionals like Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia are moving toward bolder looks and design styles. Which is inviting and helps in bringing more young golfers to play this game.
