Episode 152: Golf's Dress Code Debate - From Tweed to Hoodies - The Evolution of Golf Attire

Before the main event, Jeff and Scott catch up on a busy couple of weeks in golf, covering the Australian Open, the Hero World Challenge, Q-Schools, and the upcoming Grant Thornton Invitational. Then, we take a look at the enduring debate: The Golf Dress Code. We trace the journey of golf clothing from the heavy tweed and corseted outfits of the 19th century—a uniform of the elite—to the performance polo shirt popularized by Arnold Palmer. We analyze the Public vs. Private course divide, discuss the high-profile acceptance of hoodies on the PGA Tour, and revisit the controversial 2017 LPGA dress code tightening. Finally, we forecast the future: high-tech fabrics, gender-neutral designs, and the demand for sustainable golf wear. Is it time to abolish all dress codes in the name of growing the game?
