The company that makes that shirt had it's biggest sales day ever yesterday.
Time for that old stodgy fashion needle to move a little bit in a more forward leaning direction!IMO

You can't tuck in a Hawaiian shirt... Fashion snafu.

Golf shirts I tuck mostly because my golf shorts are too big and I need the extra shirt material to fill in and hold up the shorts. The belt is on the first hole too.

Most of the time I wear underarmour heat gear t shirt style and u don't tuck that.

    When I saw it, I thought how much more comfortable he looked than other guys and started wishing at least for the Hawaiian tourneys they'd allow knee length shorts and even wild prints Hawaiian shirts as Already seen in Pebble Beach pro am.
    I'd be a good start and probably help jump start making other improvements long overdue to golf.
    I bet the players would enjoy it and maybe even improve their play because of being comfortable. They aren't playing in N Scotland , for goodness gracious!
    Go Ricky! The style inovator.

    It's Ricky being Ricky. Pushing the fashion edges is his thing.

    ode I've tucked once in 20 yrs, that I can remember and it was when I played with Tom (Tcafla) in Tampa at his private club. They insisted. It was out by the time we hit the 1st green.....maybe earlier.

      Typhoon Golf shirts I tuck mostly because my golf shorts are too big and I need the extra shirt material to fill in and hold up the shorts. The belt is on the first hole too.

      Unfortunately.....I don't have that problem. 😆

        I wonder if he got a talkin' too today,had a regular PGA issue polo shirt on?

        Typhoon You can't tuck in a Hawaiian shirt... Fashion snafu.

        Bingo! Everyone dresses like that in Hawaii. Ricky was just trying to go native, and I'll bet the locals loved it.

          Bravo Ricky! Let them all wear them and shorts. PGA needs to update its code and let players be more comfortable.

          Y'all might want to take a few minutes to picture in your mind some of the styles you are advocating. For instance senior pga players in shorts, know by kneed, lacking color except for some of the brushing seen from meds.

          Not sure sponsors really want that image advertising their products.

          Rules and discipline add to a professional image imo. Most golf courses have relaxed the rules for the amateur golfer, and that probably has made golf a bit more accessible (👍). I don't see relaxing rules on professional fashions doing anything but reducing sponsors money into the game and the respect for the game.

            I like the untucked look. I usually become untucked in the back anyway (all business in the front, party in the back) because I'm round shouldered and have a longer torso. However, when I do go untucked I get comments from the fashion police. Like you look like a bowler etc..

            If it wasn’t for this thread, I wouldn’t have ever known. I watched a couple of hours and, except for the pattern, never even noticed his shirt. I generally think he looks like someone desperately wanting attention, but I didn’t even notice the untucked part.

            Then I guess the overriding question would be this:

            Is golf better off catering to the older, aging crowd, whose years of being active in playing the sport and watching on tv are limited, or should they be trying to appeal to the younger generation of players and potential would-be golfers who are ultimately being relied upon to carry on the interest of the sport and tv viewership when guys like you and me are no longer playing/watching?

            There's definitely a generational gap here that has to be figured out. And for what it's worth, there are just as many 20-somethings needing car/home insurance, or financial needs, or whatever, as there are older viewers who might find that "image" unacceptable.

            Who should they appeal to? Only those of us who might need Cialis?

                I found this on the PGA Tour website FAQ's:

                Does the PGA TOUR have a dress code or appearance standard?
                The PGA TOUR Player’s policy states that, “players shall present a neat appearance in both clothing and personal grooming. Clothing worn by players shall be consistent with currently accepted golf fashion.” Golf attire and fashion is always changing and evolving. T-shirts, jeans, or shorts (for players) are considered inappropriate. Our officials monitor player appearance for violations while allowing players to express their own personal styles.

                This was posted in Golfweek:

                PGA Tour Dress Code
                The PGA Tour Handbook states: “Players shall present a neat appearance in both clothing and personal grooming. Clothing worn by players shall be consistent with currently accepted golf fashion. The tournament director shall interpret this regulation subject to the approval of the commissioner.” In other words, each tournament director may interpret the PGA Tour’s guidelines, although the Tour’s commissioner may have the final say.

                This reminds me of back when Tiger started wearing nicer t-shirts instead of collard shirts. At first there was outrage but soon others started wearing them and before long you didn't even notice it any more. Is Ricky popular enough to get others to follow and get the "powers that be" to allow more of it?

                  I think the industry as a whole either needs to get with the times or quit bitching about why golf isn't popular and interesting to the younger generation.

                  That's what I think.

                  If you expect the millennials to embrace the sport, then you need to make the needed generational adjustments needed.

                  The "old rich white man's stuffy, restrictive standards" will strangle the lifeline of interest and support to the sport. Again, I ask the question: what becomes of the sport once the older generation of players/viewers/enthusiasts have been exhausted?

                  All of the other mainstream sports have made that adjustment. So why is it that golf seems so hesitant to embrace the current reality?

                  Traditions be damned... it's almost akin to the skipper of the Titanic who refuses to acknowledge that his ship is sinking after hitting the iceberg.... bands are playing, the older folks are dancing, while the ship itself is sinking.

                      PA-PLAYA - The NFL has made changes (individual expression is verboten except during the National Anthem, protect the players - especially quarterbacks- from injuries, less kick-off returns, etc. and how's that working out today? Answer: It is now referenced as the NO FUN LEAGUE, viewership dropped 8% last year and 10% on top of that this year. And, I agree with most of the changes.

                      Baseball made changes many years ago and the traditionalists in the N.L. kept their pitchers hitting and the progressives in the A.L. brought in the designated hitter. Rumors are flying (pun intended) the balls are juiced again. Was this a behind the curtain move to make the game interesting because of the perception the low scoring games were boring and the millenials like the long ball? If true, was it done to keep the attendance and television ratings up?

                      Changes ARE needed in golf. Golf is still big enough to cater to the traditionalists and the casual player. The purists can still play by the rules, post their scores, and play in accredited/sanctioned competititions. Let the fun seekers play with non-conforming equipment and a rule book reduced to 4 pages with color illustrations (2 pages without the pictures including 1 1/2 pages on etiquette 😉).

                      I agree whole heartedly golf is a dying sport unless changes are made. But, golf survived its infancy the first half of the last century when it was considered an elitist sport. It evolved then and will do so in the future when change is allowed by the governing bodies. I just don't see frisbees and kick-ball golf or 6+ inch holes as being the answer.
