JT in the fescue, J-Day rains dimes, Tiger’s new stripes, Scott’s single pleats, and more. Greg breaks down the best and worst looks from Friday at Valhalla.

Fashion Dimes
Justin Thomas (Greyson Clothiers & FootJoy)
Look of the Day goes to JT. Greyson’s new Fescue Green brings a fresh energy for late spring and early summer. Whether you go with Montauk Trousers or Shorts, a Maltese Blue polo is the perfect complement. I do think Justin missed an opportunity to lace up the FootJoy x Todd Snyder Mint Julep kicks, but you can’t go wrong with the clean, white Fields, either.
Jason Day (Malbon Golf & Payntr)
No boring black-on-black rainsuits here. This one from Malbon has personality and style to burn. In fact, I’ll declare it the Most Fashionable Rainsuit of all time. I love the pockets, hood, and color. Unfortunately, the jacket and pants are nowhere to be found on the Malbon site. Sigh. I also don’t know why more golf rain jackets don’t have hoods. I can understand not everyone wanting to wear a hood while swinging, but it is functional between shots and allows a rain jacket to transition from the course to the street.
Camilo Villegas (J.Lindeberg & Jordan)
Do the clothes make the man or does the man make the clothes? The debate has raged for centuries. In this case, I give the credit to Camilo. Power Ranger Viktor Hovland unsuccessfully pulled off a similar monochromatic look yesterday, but Villegas kept it simple and nailed it from head to toe. The casual and sporty blade collar works well with the Jordans, too.
Tiger Woods (Sun Day Red)
It is tough to see Tiger struggle around the course these days, but he continues to step out in solid looks from his new Sun Day Red brand. The fit of his shirts is on point, although I’d like to hem his pants a touch higher.
Adam Scott (Uniqlo & FootJoy)
If you are looking to dip a toe into the pleated trouser pool, the single pleat is the place to start. You’ll find a more generous fit through the hips and a straighter fit through the legs. You’ll want to hem these a little longer since they have a wider leg opening, too.
David Puig
Love the color of the pants and the slightly heathered texture. Plus, the way the belt, collar, and sleeve bands sync takes this fit to another level. The light grey crewneck was a smart choice, too.
Wyndham Clark (Municipal & FootJoy)
Dreary day? Punch up some color like Wyndham.
Scottie Fans
Props for the fast work, fellas.
Fashion Crimes
Robert MacIntyre
Boring with an extra helping of blah. That shirt needs a darker pair of pants.
Tom Kim
Sorry, but every time I see this rain vest, I think about a tattered Hefty bag.
Talor Gooch
Smash or pass. The LIV Minor League Baseball Hats are the comical relief we don’t need. Pass.
