Style meets swagger on the greens! The 2024 TOUR Championship is heating up, with fans cheering on their favorites. Adam Scott is among the top contenders, tied for 4th spot after two rounds. But it’s not just his golf game that’s turning heads. It’s his sense of style that’s still razor-sharp. During the second round, his fashion choices were as closely watched as his swing. And one particular detail has fans and fashion enthusiasts thinking alike.
Adam Scott’s image in his white Uniqlo T-shirt is making waves on social media. A picture shared on Reddit showed him walking on the greens with a confident stride, his golf attire perfectly in place, and his collar popped. The post, captioned “Adam Scott with the Popped Collar at the Tour Championship,” has sparked a frenzy among fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
The nostalgic nod to his iconic style from the early 2000s has everyone talking. The 44-year-old has consistently showcased a refined sense of style on the golf course. He often flies under the radar with his understated yet elegant approach to fashion. That added him to the spotlight and earned him the title of golf’s most talked-about fashionista.

Unlike his fellow Australian and 2-times major champ, Jason Day, who is known for his bold and eye-catching choice of clothing since his collaboration with Malbon Golf. But amidst all the fashion frenzy, Adam Scott’s focus remains on the winner’s share of the $25 million from the $100 million prize at stake. Although he’s giving his best shot, there are chances that he might fall short of clinching the title at the TOUR Championship and claim the FedEx Cup.
As the gap between him and Scottie Scheffler, who’s leading with a 21-under, is significant. Scott’s 12-under leaves him with a mountain to climb, and with the weekend’s ultimate finale on the horizon, his chances appear slim. It is indeed tough to overcome a 9-stroke lead, or more if Scheffler performs exceptionally well.
But his hustling on the greens and his collar popping up allowed us to remember his unique style. So, let’s get to know how fans eagerly shared their thoughts on the 14-time PGA Tour champion’s looks.
