Rickie did three things right to nail his Puma

Rickie did three things right to nail his Puma "green out" look on Saturday at the 2017 Waste Management: He balanced the pops of green with lots of white; all three pops of green are exactly the same hue; and he matched his belt to his polo, making what could've been a choppy look appear quite seamless.

Again, Justin Thomas' vibrant green RLX polo works only because he balanced it with white.

Rory McIlroy's green Nike pants work well because he neutralized the rest of his outfit. And his white belt here works because his polo is white. Otherwise all a white belt does is make someone look shorter.

Paul Casey's lighter, more earthy green Nike pants make a quieter statement than a brighter green would, but they're still far more interesting than khaki. And just like McIlroy's, Casey's white belt here works because his polo is white.

Billy Horschel, who likes taking fashion risks, took his green-trouser look one step further than either McIlroy or Casey. He paired his pants with a navy belt and FootJoy ICONS that have navy detailing. Yes, yes, yes to this entire look.

Horschel also proves that green is, more often than not, a better accent than it is a centerpiece. His navy RLX polo is striped with green, and pairing it with gray trousers and a gray belt softens the entire look.

Listen, we're huge John Daly fans. And while he pulls off this look, zero other people on this planet would. The bright green polo with the white belt and the multi-colored pants are just too much.
