The world of golf is renowned for its strict dress code and traditional attire. From collared shirts to khaki pants and golf shoes, the golfing community has long held onto the idea that the way you dress on the course is just as important as how you play. Moreover, the crisp lines of players’ outfits and the polished look of their shoes create a refined and sophisticated image. However, the slightest change in these traditional outfits can disturb the whole community.
The golf world is in a frenzy once again…and the culprit – the ankle-length joggers. At the Arnold Palmer Invitational, Eric Cole has been making headlines for his attire.

A few days ago everyone was appreciating the 34-year old for his great performance at the 2023 Honda Classic. With a score deficit of 14 at the end of the 2023 Honda Classic, Eric left no stone unturned to clinch the second spot. His determination paid off as he walked away with a mouth-watering prize money of $915,600 from the tournament’s impressive $20 million purse.

And now someone took to Twitter to address the length of Eric’s joggers. The tweet read, “I’m #TeamJoggers but these are literally getting shorter by the day.”
And the same fans who were in awe of the PGA Tour pro, are now criticizing him. People are worried that players will just start wearing shorts on the course. Moreover, they think that joggers are an abomination to the society!
Going to wake up one day and realize they’re actually just wearing shorts

I am #NotTeamJoggers so it’s nice to hear a member of #TeamJoggers even has a problem with this abomination. Way too short. Society needs to have a conversation about this.

Even more brutal with those shoes combo

Where do we draw the line between these and Capris. A very slippery slope we’re embarking on

Just make them slightly shorter every week until they’re just shorts. pic.twitter.com/g3ELXJC0jU

Those are capris bordering on knickers- knickers are a perfectly acceptable pant but would require a higher sock I believe
— K. C. (@kc_dos_siete) March 2, 2023
They were pretty damn high last week to! Flood pants
— Sal Hutton (@sal_hutton) March 2, 2023
Hideous. Those are kapris

He left them in the dryer. They shrunk.

Last month, Sam Ryder was the center of attention for wearing joggers to the Farmers Insurance Open. He didn’t just upset the golf fans, but Phil Mickelson as well. Moreover, these incidents serve as evidence of how orthodox the golf industry is.

All you have to do is wear something different and all the attention moves away from the game, towards the player’s fashion choices.

Moreover, it poses a big question – when will the golf world respect players for their choice of clothing . And on many grounds, this progress is very necessary if the PGA Tour aims to promote the sport among the younger generation.
