Golf fashion has taken over. Let’s discuss which player had the best fit from Thursday and Friday of the U.S. Open.
One of the emerging niches in professional golf is fashion. What these PGA Tour and LIV Golf players wear continues to spark intense discussions on social media.
Fashion is a subjective topic with no right answer. Many dislike what Jason Day and Viktor Hovland wear, but many fans love their trendy style. Those two guys take bigger risks, but many tour players look good in traditional-style garments.
How it fits on the body is a main component of a good outfit. Other things we looked at when ranking are coloring, attention to detail, and risk level.
This week, the best players in the world are at Pinehurst No. 2 for the 124th U.S. Open.
Major championships are also a great time to unveil new lines or do something wild, which many golfers choose to do.
Thursday and Friday showed some great outfits from the field, but these are the five best we saw from the players.
5. Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods is fifth on this list for his Thursday outfit. That pink and white striped polo is one of the best he has worn since his new clothing line, Sun Day Red, launched. Pairing it with a gray pant pulls it together. White shoes and hats are a great way to keep a summer vibe, and the Big Cat pulled this look off well.
His navy look on Friday was sharp as well. He gives such a traditional vibe, but at the same time, it looks trendy.
Ranking: 9/10

Viktor Hovland is one of many players who got chewed up and spit out by Pinehurst No. 2, but his Thursday outfit was perfect.
What a cool geometric polo! The navy matches the shoes and stripes. A white hat keeps the focus on the polo, as it should. Not to mention, the bottom of the Puma shoes matches the lighter blue on his shirt, which completes the look.
He will not likely be around for the weekend, but this pairing was so good it would have been a crime not to put on this list.
Ranking: 9/10

A name that does not usually land on the golf fashion pages earned his spot at the U.S. Open. Harris English’s Thursday and Friday and looks were good enough to land on the list, but the green pants with the light blue striped polo have such a cool vibe.
He is finally incorporating color into his wardrobe, which looks fantastic. Those green pants are incredible.
Rating: 9.5/10
2. Ludvig Åberg

Some may not like this rating, with Ludvig Åberg in second on this list, but he gave two days of clean outfits. The peach polo with the navy pants on Friday was our favorite because it’s a great color combo.
White hats seem on trend this week, but the blue rope pulls it all together. It is traditional but fits well and looks fantastic on his skin tone.
Rating: 9.8/10
1. Bryson DeChambeau

Bryson DeChambeau has had the best outfits so far at the U.S. Open. His navy polo with gray pants is fantastic, and his Crusher GC logo did not overtake the outfit, either.
Since he went to LIV Golf, DeChambeau’s fashion has elevated to another level. Friday’s polo, with the navy and white stripes, also looked great. He has clearly gotten his color chart done because all of the clothes he wears are ideal for his skin tone.
Will a LIV Golf player take home the best dressed of the week on Sunday, or will one of the PGA Tour guys shock the fashion lovers this weekend?
