The 2024 PGA Championship is nearing its conclusion! Many top contenders, such as Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, and Collin Morikawa, are the top contenders to lift the highly coveted Wanamaker trophy. The event has witnessed stunning record finishes such as Schauffele’s 9-under-par 62 total finish on Thursday, which tied the major scoring record along with the record for the lowest round in PGA Championship history, and Lowry’s moving-day round of 62.
It also witnessed drama, especially on Friday with Scottie Scheffler‘s arrest. Additionally, Valhalla saw some bizarre outfits too that ranged from being hilariously amusing to downright puzzling the fans. Let’s delve deeper and explore the Top 5 Most Insane Outfits of Golfers at the 2024 PGA Championship.

Starting with John Daly, the 58-year-old made a striking appearance on the greens in a unique outfit combination. Wearing camouflage green pants paired with a solid grey t-shirt, the two-time major winner certainly caught everyone’s eye as he cruised around in a golf cart. While doing so, the American golfer roamed around the greens and also signed autographs for the fans. This isn’t the first time Daly has made such bold fashion statements, thanks to his LoudMouth sponsor, which has continuously outfitted him in eye-catching attire. He withdrew from the tournament on Friday, citing a thumb injury; otherwise, maybe fans would have seen more of his bizarre yet fun outfits.
4. Viktor Hovland’s vibrant attire
Not only Daly, but Viktor Hovland‘s J. Lindeberg outfit also helped him stand out this year at Valhalla. What’s even more intriguing is that the Norwegian went a step further by planning his attire for all four rounds. Among his outfits, the all-blue ensemble on Day 1 gave him a striking blue sapphire-like appearance. On the second day, the leopard-printed polo paired with white pants added further intrigue. Hovland’s outfit not only drew attention but also his performance, finishing with a total of 200 with 14 under par before heading into the final round.
3. Jason Day’s forest-like appearance
Similar to Hovland, Jason Day, another golfer, appears to favor wearing single-color outfits. After making the cut and finishing the third round with four birdies and a score of 69, he eagerly sported an all-green ensemble, giving him a forest-like appearance. The fans regarded Day’s Malbon Golf outfit as a cute LIV uniform, and did not shy away from bashing it, just like they did at the 2024 Masters.

2. Tiger Woods’s all-sweaty appearance
Tiger Woods graced the greens for only two rounds. The 82-time PGA Tour winner, participating in his third event of the year and his first since the 88th Masters, recorded rounds of 72 and 77, totaling 6 over 149, ultimately missing the cut. During the first round, Woods’ pink polo combined with gray pants garnered a lot of attention, and that too for the wrong reasons. Spectators noticed that Woods was sweating profusely throughout the day, leading to an awkward and uncomfortable appearance, suggesting that the 15-time Major champion was experiencing discomfort while making the plays in his non-sweat-proof SDR apparel.
1. Phil Mickelson’s blackish-grey look

Similar to Woods, another esteemed pro who didn’t make it to the weekend was Phil Mickelson. Despite recording six birdies, six bogeys, and two double bogeys over the two rounds, the 53-year-old failed to make a significant impact in his 31st PGA Championship appearance and ultimately finished T116. Yet, what truly stood out on the second day was Mickelson’s black and grey attire. The pro sported a grey t-shirt with black pants and gloves, giving the impression of mourning attire overall.
