Rory McIlroy
Rors found his old form at TPC Boston and charged back to a Deutsche Bank victory with an incredible Monday 65. Always among pro golf’s most consistently stylish dudes, McIlroy puts together simple, modern, technical set-ups that create as much interest through texture as they do with color or pattern.

These. Guys. Look. Awesome. Old-school threads with just the right touch of modern menswear accessories proved to be among the coolest kits we’ve see all year at this European Tour vintage-clubs event in Switzerland. Congrats to Westwood on his strong play with the ole’ hickories.

The mustachio bashio brothers looked like they picked up another family member at the Deutsche Bank. Sure these guys all kinda look like state troopers, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Alejandro Canizares
Smart details, like this charcoal tipping on Canizares’s polo, can elevate the simplest looks into the most stylish. This feels very cool and sporty, certainly not like your run-of-the-mill tour set-up.

Teal continues to trend on and off the PGA Tour, and worn the right way, there is plenty of time to work it into your own wardrobe. Pair this shade with light tans and sharp whites for as long as your summer lasts and transition your dark blues and grays until when fall finally rolls around. You’ll be set for as many games as you’ve got left this year.

I love these new Nike kicks, but they’re an aggressive set of spikes that require the right styling from head to toe to really pull off. His high-contrast black belt and basic stripe polo feel too classic for these hi-volt shoes.

Tony Finau
In contrast, Finau’s use of brighter blue pants, flat-brim fitted hat and slim-fit modern styling balance these same spikes to perfection.

I don’t know when polo designs started to stop at the front panel, but it’s a weird trend. Would it really be that difficult to keep these stripes going around the rest of the shirt? These feel awkward no matter what brand they come from or who wears them.

Lucas Pouille
The young Frenchman knocked out tennis big-shot Rafa Nadal last week at the U.S. Open, and he should serve as a source of inspiration for many of the brand-building wardrobes for PGA Tour pros these days. Some of the best looks from today’s technical brands are clearly the result of the cross pollination between sports divisions. All kinds of kits from tennis to soccer, skiing to skateboarding should influence golf gear the way it’s shaping other active categories on and off the course. Not only could this help grow the game, it would continue to push the style envelope for both the pros and plebes, alike.
