In a weekend of golf fashion mediocrity, Monochromatic Matt mans-up, Tony shines, Rickie rocks, and we induct two new members into the Crimes HOF. Michael breaks down the best and worst looks from Saturday and Sunday at Royal Portrush.

Fashion Dimes
Ricke Fowler (Puma Golf)
The limited-edition PUMA x Reigning Champ collaboration was the fashion story from Royal Portrush, as far as I am concerned. It was the perfect stage to showcase it. Rickie rocked his looks. Seeing him in this unstructured golf cap made my day.
Tony Finau (Nike Golf)
I agree, Tony. You were one of the few sartorial stars that shone bright. I enjoyed these Nike floral print polos. I assume they are a future release…
Justin Thomas (Greyson Clothiers & FootJoy)
Nothing too fancy here, but consider this your daily PSA: there are always superior options to the dreaded base-layer over a polo. This is one of them. Kudos, JT.
Wyndham Clark (Municipal & FootJoy)
I have never witnessed Wyndham walk up the first tee all whacked out wearing a wild wardrobe. He is the epitome of consistency. I’ve always thought that he would be a great ambassador for Ralph Lauren.
Akshay Bhatia (TravisMathew)
Nothing against letting one’s ankles breathe, but Akshay looks better when he lets his trousers brush the top of his shoes. His long legs are not suited for joggers.
Matt Wallace (J.Lindeberg & FootJoy)
Monochromatic Matt now owns the throne previously held by Stenson. The subtle geometric honeycomb on this shirt is straight fire.
Fashion Crimes
Matt Fitzpatrick
Honestly, this has nothing to do with the white belt (or the Skechers). Matt needs some slacks that fit him better; otherwise, I am going to start referring to him as “droopy drawers.”
Phil Mickelson
My kids refer to older people who “overcompensate” as “try-hards.” This is just awkward, Phil.
J.J. Spaun
This is the scripting for a major champion? C’mon! Looks like one of the guys in my men’s league.
Hideki Matsuyama
Wait…what? Is that an argyle print sweater over a striped shirt?! No words. Let’s just enshrine Hideki into the Crimes HOF.
Sergio Garcia
While we are at it, let’s add Sergio to the infamous list of inductees, too.
I was not a fan of Jon Rahm’s purple pants and blue and white print shirt combination. Separately, each piece might be okay, but they sure did not work together.
