However, the 43-year-old was puzzled by the outfit and remarked, “don’t know what to say about it.” But he admitted, “There’s been plenty of golfers that have terrible outfits on show” and it “might be a way for that company to try and get recognition and people talking about it.”
Matt Jones didn’t stop there: the 2x PGA Tour winner further unfolded the secret behind the outfit as he said, “So given the worst, giving the worst stuff you can just start and get people talking about it looking at it.” He believes it’s all part of marketing to attract more people.
