Opinion & Analysis
Dress like the great Adam Scott
A game my friends and I occasionally play is “which athlete/movie star/rock star” would you trade places with if given the chance. Usually, we tailor the pool of eligibility towards cream-of-the-crop types from certain sports, time periods or music genres and generate hilarious discussion. A guy’s hairline, bank account, dating history/potential are all in play. You know you’ve done this too, don’t lie. Shoot, Vinny Chase had a nice fictional career capitalizing on this very fantasy from guys everywhere.
Occasionally when we play this game, my friends and I will even propose head to head battles like Stallone/Segal, Gosling/DiCaprio or Springsteen/BonJovi (for those wondering, I’ve chosen the former each time). Sure, all of this may be tad pathetic, but it’s just innocent fun. Except for that time when we drunkenly screamed at one another for hours concerning the plusses and minuses of trading places with either Mark Sanchez vs Eli Manning. That got personal, and feelings were/still are hurt.*
To apply this game to golf, which my friends and I somehow have not done yet, I’d have to imagine Adam Scott would be great to trade places with for a few days. My man has a green jacket, is a national hero, has a wrinkle-free swing and the cool charisma/good looks to most likely woo any gal he dang well pleases, mate.
But while most of us will never attain his swing, his bank account, or a date with serbian tennis star Ana Ivancovic, there is one thing about Adam Scott that we can realistically replicate: his style. A-Scott may only be the No. 2-ranked golfer in the world, but when it comes to looking impeccably dressed on the course, he’s No. 1 in my book.
Let’s recap two awesome looks from Adam Scott’s 2013 Masters wardrobe for pointers and inspiration.
No. 1 — The Hat: No ears tucked into the sides of an alien-blood green hat; just a perfectly curved, crisply peaked, Titleist hat. Clean, handsome, functional.
No. 2 — The Shirt: Sure, it helps if you look like an Abercrombie model like Scotty, but you don’t necessarily need to be a fitness celebrity to don some fitted shirts. Have some confidence in yourself, gents. Here, he’s rocking Uniqlo polos that are slim fitting, with sleeves that are considerably above his elbow. Leave the smock sleeves for pre-school finger painting and the ER.
No. 3 — The Belt: Notice that you don’t see Adam wear too many thick white belts or unsightly buckles on tour. Why? Because he’s a gentleman, that’s why. Not a club promoter in South Beach.
No. 4 — The Pants: One of the few (thank goodness) guys who is still holding out from the latest trend where a golfer’s pant leg splits at the bottom. Even better, Adam exhibits a slightly tapered, slim fitting pant leg which works great for him, and it could work great for you. The backs of your pant leg openings should not have grass stains on them.
No. 5 — The Shoes: Adam keeps it classy with a pair of clean, all white FootJoy Sports. Again, notice that we’re able to see Adam’s laces and heel details, as his pant legs are not swallowing his footwear.
*Sanchez is now a Philadelphia eagle, which was not the case during the argument.

Brandel Chamblee PGA Championship Q&A: Rose’s huge McLaren risk, distracted LIV pros and why Aronimink suits the bombers
PGA Championship week is here, and Brandel Chamblee did not hold back in our latest discussion ahead of the season’s second major.
In our 2026 PGA Championship Q&A, golf’s leading analyst made the case that PIF pulling LIV’s funding has left its players competing in a state of confusion, called Justin Rose’s mid-season equipment switch a huge risk at 45, and explained why Aronimink will be a bombers’ delight this week.
Check out the full Q&A below.
Gianni: With the PIF confirming that they’re pulling funding from LIV at the end of the season, what impact do you expect that to have on the LIV players competing at the PGA Championship?
Brandel: I would imagine that they have all been thrown into a state of confusion, and will be distracted, not knowing where they are going to play next year and not knowing exactly their road back to either the DP World Tour or the PGA Tour. Or in Rahm’s case, being tied to a sinking ship for the next few years, likely playing for pennies on the dollar in events that no one cares about or watches.
I doubt this would put him in the best frame of mind to compete at his highest level. Keeping in mind, however, that majors are the only time that LIV disciples get to play in events that matter, so never disregard the motivation they have to prove to the world they are still relevant.
Gianni: Justin Rose switched to McLaren Golf equipment mid-season while playing some of the best golf of his career. What do you make of the change?
Brandel: I don’t really know what to make of Rose switching equipment. It seems a huge risk on his part, even though it is likely, in my opinion, that the clubs he’s playing are similar, if not the exact grinds, to what he was playing previously, with a McLaren stamp on them.
Having said that, at best, it is a distraction when he seemed to be as dialed in with his game as any 45-year-old could be and trending in the majors to perhaps do something that would definitely put him in the Hall of Fame. At worst, given the possibility that these clubs aren’t just duplicates of his old set stamped with McLaren on them, he’s made an equipment change that would take time, and 45-year-old athletes don’t have the time to do such things.
Gianni: Aronimink has only hosted a handful of professional events since it hosted the 1962 PGA Championship. What kind of test does it present, and does a course with less recent major championship history tend to level the playing field?
Brandel: Even though Aronimink has only hosted a handful of meaningful professional events, it has been fairly discerning in who can win there. When Keegan Bradley won the BMW Championship on the Donald Ross masterpiece in 2018, he was the 2nd best iron player on tour coming into that week. When Nick Watney won the AT&T at Aronimink in 2011, he was 2nd in strokes gained total coming into the week.
In 2020, Aronimink hosted the KPMG Championship, and Sei Young Kim won. On the LPGA that year, she was first in greens in regulation, putts per green in regulation, and scoring average on the way to being the LPGA player of the year. And then there is the 1962 PGA Championship won by Gary Player, who eventually became just one of a few players to win the career grand slam on the way to winning 9 majors. It is a formidable test, and if it’s not softened by rain, it will bring out the best in the upper echelons of the game.
Gianni: Is there a specific hole at Aronimink that you think will do the most to decide the winner?
Brandel: The hardest hole at Aronimink in each of the three tour events that have been played there since 2010 has been the long par-3 8th hole, with the par-4 10th being the second hardest, so most of the carnage will happen around the turn, but with the par-5 16th offering opportunities for bold plays and the tough closing holes at 17 and 18, the finish is likely to be frenetic.
Gianni: The PGA Championship has always sat in the shadow of the other majors. What does the ideal PGA Championship look like in your eyes, and what would it take for it to carve out its own identity?
Brandel: The PGA Championship, to whatever degree it suffers from the comparison to the other three majors, is still counted just as much when adding them up at the end of one’s career. Almost 1/3 of Nicklaus’ major wins were the five PGA Championships he won. Walter Hagen won 11 majors, five of which were PGA Championships.
Tiger Woods twice in his career won back-to-back PGA Championships, and those four majors count just as much as the other 11 he won. The PGA may not have the prestige of the other three, but it carries the same weight. Having said that, I preferred the identity that it had as the last major of the year.
Gianni: You nailed your Masters picks. Rory won, Scottie finished solo second, and Morikawa surged to a tie for seventh. Who are your top 3 picks for the PGA Championship and why?
Brandel: I am not a huge fan of majors played on golf courses that have been shorn of most of the trees, although I understand some of the agronomic reasons for doing so and of course the ease with which it allows members to play after errant drives. However, at the highest level, it all but eliminates any strategy off the tee and turns professional golf into an even bigger slugfest. That means that it will likely be a bomber’s delight this week, but fortunately, Scottie Scheffler is long enough to play that game and straight enough to play it better than anyone else.
The major championships give us very few surprises anymore, going back to the beginning of 2012, so the last 57 majors played, the average world rank of the winners has been better than 15th in the world. So look at the highest ranked and longest drivers who are on form coming into the PGA Championship who also have great short games as the surrounds at Aronimink are very challenging. That’s Scottie Scheffler by a mile and then McIlroy and Cameron Young with a far bigger nod towards DeChambeau than I gave him at the Masters.
In this episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, we dive into one of the most interesting flatstick releases of the year with a full review of the new TaylorMade SYSTM 2 putters. After spending time on the greens, I break down what makes this design stand out, where it performs, and why it has me completely torn between loving it and fighting it. If you are into feel, alignment, and consistency, this is one you will want to hear about.
We also take a look at some of the putters in play on the PGA Tour last week. From familiar favorites to a few surprising setups, there is always something to learn from what the best players in the world are rolling with under pressure.
To wrap things up, I walk through the process of building a set of JP Golf Prime irons paired with Baddazz Gold Series shafts. From component selection to performance goals, this is a deep dive into what goes into creating a unique custom set and why this combo has been so intriguing.
This year my 50th birthday. Gosh, where has the time gone?
As a teenager in rural Missouri, some of my junior high and high school years felt interminable. Graduation seemed light years away. But the older I get, the faster life seems to fly by.
I’m also increasingly aware of my mortality. My dad died recently. Earlier this year, a friend and fellow PGA of America professional and I were texting about our next catch-up. The next message I received was news of his unexpected passing at 48. Shortly after, a woman I dated in college succumbed to cancer at 51.
Certainly, one can share perspective at any age. Seniors help freshmen, veterans guide rookies. But reaching this milestone feels like as good a time as any to do one of those “what would I tell my younger self?” articles.
I’ve had a uniquely varied career in golf. I started as a 27-year-old, average-length-hitting, 14-handicap computer engineer and somehow managed to turn pro before running out of money, constantly bootstrapping my way forward. I’ve won qualifiers and set venue records in the World Long Drive Championships, finished fifth at the Speedgolf World Championships, coached all skill levels as a PGA of America professional, built industry-leading swing speed training programs for Swing Man Golf, helped advance the single-length iron market with Sterling Irons®, caddied on the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions, and played about 300 courses across 32 countries.
It’s been a ride, and I’ve gone both deep and wide.
So while I can consult and advise from a lot of angles, let me keep it to a few things I’d tell the average golfer who wants to improve.
1. Think About What You Want
Everyone has their own reason for picking up a golf club.
Oddly, as a professional athlete, I’m not internally driven by competition. That can be challenging, as the industry currently prioritizes and incentivizes competition over the love of the game.
For me, I love walking and being outdoors. Nature helps balance my energy. I prefer courses that are integrated into the natural beauty of their surroundings. I’m comfortable practicing alone. I’m a deep thinker, and I genuinely enjoy investigating the game, using data and intuition to unearth unique, often innovative insights. I’m fortunate to be strong and athletic, so I appreciate the chance to engage with my abilities. Traveling feels adventurous. I could go on.
You don’t have to overthink it like I do. For you, it might be as simple as hitting balls to escape work, hanging out with friends, and playing loosely with the rules and the score.
The point is to give yourself permission to play for your own reasons, and let that be enough.
But if improvement is your goal, thinking about your destination—and when you want to get there—is important, because it dictates the steps you need to take. When I set out to go from a 14-handicap to the PGA TOUR as quickly as possible, the steps I needed were very different from those of a working golfer trying to break 90 in six months. That’s also different from someone who just wants a few peaceful hours outside each week, away from work or family.
None of these goals are better than the others, but each requires a different plan that you can work backward from.
2. There Are Lots of Things That Can Work
One of the challenges of golf is that, although there are rules for playing, there aren’t clear, industry-wide standards for how to best play the game. There’s a lot of gray area.
You might hear a top coach or trainer insist that a certain move is the best way to swing or train. Then you dig a bit deeper and, much to your confusion and frustration, another respected coach or trainer says something completely different. I don’t think anyone is trying to confuse you—at least I hope not. It’s just where the industry is right now.
You have to be careful with advice from tournament pros, too. They might be great at scoring, but they’re also human and sometimes just as susceptible as amateurs to believing things that don’t really move the needle. Tour players might describe what they feel, but that’s not always what they’re actually doing when assessed with technology.
I recently ran a test on my YouTube channel (which connects to my GolfWRX article “How to use your hands in the golf swing for power and accuracy”), and, interestingly, two of the most commonly taught hand actions produced the worst results in the test.
Coaches can certainly help. If you find someone you connect with to help navigate, that’s great. But there are many ways to get the ball in the hole. In the current landscape, you may need to seek multiple opinions, think critically, and use your own intuition to discern what seems true and whose advice resonates with you.
I’d recommend seeking someone who is open-minded and always learning, because things constantly change. Absolutes like “correct” or “proper” should raise a red flag. AI can be useful, but it tends to confidently repeat popular advice, so proceed with caution.
3. Get Custom Fit
If you’re serious about becoming a better player, getting custom fit is hugely important. There’s no sense fighting your equipment if you don’t have to. Most better players get fit these days and, if they don’t, they’re usually skilled enough to work around clubs that aren’t ideal.
If you plan to play for a long time, it’s worth spending a little more upfront to get something that truly fits you and your game, rather than continually buying and discarding equipment.
Equipment rules haven’t really changed significantly since the early 2000s. To stay in business, manufacturers keep pushing those limits. If you pull a bunch of clubs and balls off the rack and test them, you’ll find differences. I’ve tested two new drivers and seen a 30-yard total distance gap. Usually, the issue isn’t bad equipment; it’s that the combination of components simply isn’t the best fit.
It’s like wearing a new pair of floppy clown shoes. Sure, they’re shoes—but you won’t sprint your best in them compared to track shoes that fit perfectly.
Be wary of what’s called custom fitting, too. Sometimes the term is used as a marketing strategy rather than an actual fitting. In some retail settings, fitters may be incentivized to steer you toward higher-priced components. That doesn’t automatically mean it’s not the best fit, but you should be aware of potential biases.
I learned a version of this lesson outside of golf. Years ago, I bought a tennis racquet at a big box store from a seemingly knowledgeable employee who thought it would suit me best. The racquet gave me tennis elbow, and I spent months recovering with rest and acupuncture. The next season, I invested more time and money to find what actually fit me, and I walked away with something amazing that I still play with years later.
So if you’re going to get fit, be smart about it.
Find someone you believe has deep knowledge—possibly with certifications, but not necessarily. Make sure there’s a wide inventory across many brands. Check recent reviews for the individual fitter if possible. Make sure you trust that the fitter has your best interests at heart. If they’re wearing a hat or shirt with a specific brand’s logo, proceed with caution. Unless you specifically want a certain brand or look, be wary of upsells, especially if two options perform nearly the same.
Also, while golf is called a sport of integrity, there’s a thread of manipulation in the industry. I once drafted an equipment article for an industry magazine, structured just like one of their previous popular stories, with matching word count and great photos. The assistant editor loved it; it was useful to readers and required little work on his part. But the editor-in-chief nixed the story. When I asked why, I was told it was because I wasn’t an advertiser. It turned out the article I’d modeled mine after was a paid ad cleverly disguised as editorial content.
I really dislike games, clickbait, and fear-based manipulation. I hope this changes, but golfers deserve to know it exists.
4. Distance and Strategy Matter
There’s a real relationship between how far you hit the ball and your scoring average, even at the PGA TOUR level.
I experienced this early in my pro career. I started as a power hitter, swinging in the high 120s and breaking 200 mph ball speed with a stock driver.
Back then, some instructors advised swinging at 80%, so I tried slowing down for more accuracy. That worked fine on shorter, tighter courses. But on longer setups, I was coming into greens with too much club, and par 5s stopped being

I’m 55 and don’t care if guys tuck their ears under their hat, or split bottom pants. In fact I don’t care what anyone wears. As long as the person is having fun and promoting the game, that’s all that should really matter. Clothing fashion varies for each individual. I like the way Adam dresses, but it doesn’t fly with the younger generation.
Professional means that you get paid for the craft you do. Unless you’er required to wear a uniform, Police, Military, Fireman, Cook etc…dress codes shouldn’t apply to the word “professional”. My two cents

Adam scott is with Uniqlo for the past year.
Adam wearing the Dry Stretch Pant is correct. As for his shirts he is wearing their regular polo and the Michael Bastian line. I have 2 of Bastian shirts and they are great for golf, I have order 5 more.
You can not go wrong with a $23 golf shirts that has a sleek fit and very fashionable. Now if they are able to ship to Canada….
As for Nigo being the creative director for the UT collection, that is just the T-shirt collection. I dunno if I want him designing golf shirts. I’m a fan of Babe and BBC but not on the golf course.

May 1, 2014 at 4:22 pm
Great article! I couldn’t agree more. Adam Scott sets the bar high for how to dress on the golf course. You’ve pointed out all of the main things that make it so as well.
Some of my greatest pet peeves are guys who wear baggy, ugly pants to the course. Not to mention shirts that are two sizes too big. But the worst, I’m learning, are the 35 year olds rocking 100% puma gear, bright colors and all. Just like Tiger is the only one who can have a Tiger head cover, Rickie is the only one who can rock the head to toe Puma…because it started with him.
Tony Lynam
May 1, 2014 at 9:47 pm
Probably a good thing you are not working for Nike or Puma with the “only Tiger can” and “only Rickie can” comments. You do know they (Nike and Puma) market their clothing lines to be worn head-to-toe, and by the masses.

John Wilson
May 1, 2014 at 1:34 pm
Its maybe to do with Aquascutum no longer being in the golf apparel business. Also he is being paid a hole lot of money from a massive clothing retailer to promote their inexpensive, rather dull clothing. The clothing may get better though as Nigo has recently been appointed Creative Director.
John Wilson
May 1, 2014 at 10:55 am

Seems like a cheap but clever way for a mass producer of clothing to get some marketing in fort of men. I doubt it they are concerned about the game of golf though.

I like that your touching on fashion, we can all use pointers, but Adam’s sense of style is a bit dull. He needs to expand his color gamut and match them a bit better. But that’s ok because his choices are limited. He makes clothes look good though because of his physique. It helps to be fit, tall, good looking and wear properly fitting clothing as well.
Lefty Light Hitter
May 1, 2014 at 9:22 am
Tell that to Giorgio Armani who only wears navy blue or Steve Jobs and his black t-shirts and sweaters. The limited colors and the fit are his style. If he started wearing a large variety of colors it would take away from his unique (no pun intended) look.

May 2, 2014 at 4:32 am
He is stylish in a cool way. Lot of golf clothing is tacky and too colorful. Color matching is confused with style. On females too. A a good looking stylish girl friend of mine told me she wouldn’t put on the golfclothes you see in stores, even if she had a gun to her head. That goes for me to. 🙂

Actually, the top half of his outfit is very reasonable. Uniqlo makes affordable clothes. The Titleist hats aren’t exactly expensive, and you can get a plain belt anywhere. No idea about his pants and his FJs arent exactly cheap.

I don’t think you’ve ever been to a Uniqlo. Expensive would not be a term I would describe their pricing.

May 1, 2014 at 4:06 am
yep, scott’s clothing sponsor is more in the running for least expensive golf clothes. uniqlo targets the young demographic with prices that match a young budget. scott’s just fit enough to look good in the more athletic cuts that target that demo.
love the uniqlo stuff and the great prices, unfortunately i’m about 20 years and 40 pounds away from making those cuts work. too bad cause it’s one of the few golf brands where i don’t have to run around advertising adidas, fj, puma etc. I got some great plain golf shirts from llbean once that didn’t have logos. wish they still made those. I can find the short of polyester style polos in non-golf lines but they are typically cut too short in length to stay tucked for me (I’m on the taller side), but golf shirts are cut at better length for staying tucked. those llbean shirts came in tall sizes which made them perfect.

Belts are tough – Usually black is an easy choice. Brown with white shoes does work if the rest of the outfit works with the belt. I also have a black belt with blue accent (Poulter Design) that is a safe bet if you have blue in the pants and black shoes.

Very good article, love Adam and his style! I don’t know if you are a fashion guru but how can he wear a brown belt with white shoes? I thought that wasn’t allowed?

Black belt with brown shoes is a no-no. Brown belt with black shoes isn’t good, but likely the black shoes don’t go with the (hopefully) neutral color scheme you’re wearing that would match the brown belt so the whole outfit would be in trouble. Basically brown/black – bad idea.
So, no, brown belt and white shoes are just fine assuming you’re not contrasting that with a black top or black pants – think gray’s, blues and white’s as safe.
As for Adam. The guy has “clean and classic” style. Unfortunately the writer should also point out the guy is incredibly fit and would look good in a garbage bag. The reality is he has an image to promote and possibly, as long as he’s got Mercedes and other high-end luxury companies on the bag, unable to deviate from that look. Sooooo, clean cut, muscular and looking like a model are the only options. Good job if you can get it.

Adam does take advantage of his physique with slim fit shirts. At 6ft, 170, I’ve gone to slimmer fit Shirts in L, or have gone down in size (sometimes that still does not work) and it makes a huge difference in look. I’ve had the garbage bag look, and it doesn’t look good on anyone…
