The boys’s golf competitors is formally over, as Workforce USA secured Gold for the second straight Olympics.

Scottie Scheffler fired a 9-under 61 so as to add a Gold medal to his rising trophy assortment.

Tommy Fleetwood received Silver for Nice Britain and Hideki Matsuyama received bronze for Workforce Japan.

I’m not right here to speak about their bodily efficiency at Le Golf Nationwide, although. The Olympics are additionally a good time for vogue.

It’s fascinating to see the outfits athletes get for the Olympics as a result of they’ve the opening ceremony look, a medal ceremony tracksuit and what they put on for competitors.

Nevertheless, this text will solely concentrate on competitors put on.

Bear in mind, golf vogue is subjective. No reply is appropriate; it’s all in regards to the particular person’s perspective.

After all 32 represented nations, I discovered the most effective three and the worst three crew uniforms.

The one change in rankings is that we’ll award the best-dressed facet, like within the Olympics, with a Gold, Silver and Bronze.

These six have been hand-picked by me, the Enjoying By means of golf vogue skilled. Let’s have a look at the three greatest and three worst uniforms.

Bronze: Workforce New Zealand

The 2 New Zealand golfers, Ryan Fox and Daniel Hillier, wore easy white and black outfits for the week. They went with the extra traditional look, but it surely had which means behind it. When you look intently, you will notice a feather on the polo and hat. This image represents the nation’s rugby crew, The All Blacks.

I awarded them the Bronze medal as a result of I cherished that they selected to honor a crew from their nation.

Score: 7/10

Silver: Workforce Eire

Workforce Eire earned the silver medal in crew uniforms as a result of they stayed patriotic with out going overboard. Inexperienced, White and Orange are the Irish flag colours, and that’s what Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry wore.

The model they sported additionally included navy blue, which was why they bought silver. Whereas it isn’t one of many nationwide colours, it goes effectively with all three.

To not point out, McIlroy’s footwear are so cool! He seems like a classy Irish flag with out it trying too loud. Plus, pairing that comfortable inexperienced polo, the navy pants, the white and orange footwear, and a white hat balanced all of it.

Score: 9/10

Gold: Workforce USA

Workforce USA modified up their wardrobe for the 2024 Olympics. Normally, they put on Ralph Lauren, one of many nation’s most iconic manufacturers, however J. Lindeberg bought the nod this 12 months.

Followers weren’t excited in regards to the Swedish clothes firm designing for Workforce USA. Many felt they need to put on an American label. I perceive why many felt this manner, however J. Lindeberg did a incredible job channeling patriotism with out trying just like years previous.

For the previous couple of years, the nationwide crew clothes for the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup has felt too related and outdated. Not this assortment, although. It’s daring and stylish with out getting gaudy. Hate all of it you need, but it surely was one of the crucial distinctive collections amongst all 32 nations.

Sunday’s crew outfit was certainly one of my favorites. The navy pants with the pink and white stripes down the facet have been completely different from everybody else’s. Their Purple, White and Blue polo was traditional and never an excessive amount of. Plus, lots of the items weren’t too wild.

J. Lindeberg tailor-made the clothes completely to every participant, which earned them bonus factors.

Score: 10/10

The three worst crew uniforms on the 2024 Olympics

3. Workforce Norway

Workforce Norway ranks No. 3 on the worst uniforms record due to this polo. Viktor Hovland hardly ever wears issues I don’t like, however this polo is flat-out ugly. We’ve seen this sample quite a few occasions previously few weeks. The Olympics ought to characteristic particular outfits to symbolize their homelands, so why did Puma roll this out for Workforce Norway?

Regardless, my opinion has not modified – it’s nonetheless cheesy.

Why does it have a special shade collar?

It seems Puma needed to do a Nordic sample, however as soon as they put the golf golf equipment, tees and balls on the polo, it instantly gave ugly Christmas sweater vibes. Including these golf parts makes me take it much less significantly. We get it — they play golf. I in all probability wouldn’t hate the shirt a lot in the event that they left these symbols off.

Score: 3/10

2. Workforce Canada

Workforce Canada is subsequent as a result of their competitors clothes was all over. They’d a polka dot polo with vibrant pink pants, a 20-shade grey outfit, and a few loud pink and black camo.

Whoever styled this crew didn’t execute it effectively. Workforce Canada has guys like Nick Taylor, who normally look fairly sharp after they tee it up on the PGA Tour. I’m all for crew colours, however that is an excessive amount of. It’s out of fashion and cheesy.

I noticed too many pink tops and white bottoms this week (together with Workforce USA), which made every little thing run collectively. It felt like manufacturers have been lackadaisical about scripting.

Score: 2/10

1. Workforce Australia

The worst uniforms of the week are, fingers down, Workforce Australia’s. Somebody assist the Aussies out with their clothes as a result of that is hideous. It’s so vibrant that it may blind somebody if the solar displays off it excellent.

Jason Day usually seems phenomenal on the course in his Malbon Golf apparel, however his Workforce Australian outfit is hideous. The colours conflict, and the sample is simply old-fashioned. Asics ought to have supplied a high-crowned visor as an alternative of this low one. Day seems like he’s sporting a type of loopy soccer visors with spiky hair constructed into it.

Min Woo Lee additionally bought washed out on this shade. He’s one other one that seems sometimes incredible, and these choices have been horrendous. They didn’t match him accurately, and that was simply the cherry on high of why they’ve the worst crew uniforms.

Workforce Australia wants a makeover!
