Stylistically Speaking, Woods Brings His ‘A’ Game

In Tiger Woods’ first competitive round of golf since his disastrous showing at Sawgrass, he posted a 2-under 68. That puts him six shots behind ironic leader, Adam Scott, who has been playing with Woods’ now ex-caddie, Steve Williams. Not only did Woods look pretty comfortable on the course, but he looked pretty comfortable on the course. Let me explain.

Ever since he descended upon the golf world, he’s always had a sense of style. He introduced Nike Dri-FITs and sleeker wear built for athletes. There have been a few hiccups along the way, ahem, but with every step he’s been a trendsetter.

In the opening round yesterday, Woods looked cool as ever. He rocked the perfect trifecta of a white hat-belt-shoes, and tossed on a wine-colored top to blend it together. His grey breath-through pants capped off the outfit. Thousands of weekend warriors and top-notch amateurs are flocking to the shelves as we speak to poach Woods’ latest line of threads.

The most impressive accessory was on his feet. A prototype Nike model, these lightweight kicks are closer to being on a basketball court than a golf course. The malleable rubber conforms to the body, and promotes a wide range of movement.

Once again, Woods is lapping the field in panache. I can’t wait to see what he wears this weekend.
