GolfSpy MPR Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 The Tour made a big announcement to fix a problem that has long been plaguing the game: I'm thrilled by this news. I mean, honestly, won't five+ hours rounds be way better to watch if we can see J. B. Holmes's shins?

TR1PTIK Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Not much in the way of actual news until they permit shorts in tournament play. I understand the desire to maintain a professional appearance, but given the kind of heat and humidity these guys play in I'd be fine with shorts during all four rounds - even at The Masters and The Open.

Mr. 82 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Wake me when they allow it during tournament rounds. The PGA Tour is so ridiculous about this honestly. Force guys to sweat their balls off in pants, but don't enforce your pace of play policy. Are you sure the PGA Tour isn't run by the government?

tony@CIC Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Old news. However I do think there should be some kind of dress standard - be it shorts, etc. I forgot the name of the player this past weekend that was wearing the equivalent of workout pants or sweat pants with an elasticized bottom.

Charli Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If they don’t allow shorts when it’s hot they shouldn’t allow winter wear when cold. What they should do is all just wear shorts and tell the pga to piss of. Make it a temperature that permits shorts, 90+ degrees shorts are allowed.

PlaidJacket Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I've thought forever that men tour Pros should be allowed to wear shorts if they choose too. Look at the LPGA. Appears to me they are well ventilated. Shorts, sleeveless shirts, mini skirts, etc. However, the PGA would have to make it very clear that shorts doesn't mean Kilts.
