The lads’s golf competitors is formally over, as Crew USA secured Gold for the second straight Olympics.

Scottie Scheffler fired a 9-under 61 so as to add a Gold medal to his rising trophy assortment.

Tommy Fleetwood received Silver for Nice Britain and Hideki Matsuyama received bronze for Crew Japan.

I’m not right here to speak about their bodily efficiency at Le Golf Nationwide, although. The Olympics are additionally a good time for trend.

It’s attention-grabbing to see the outfits athletes get for the Olympics as a result of they’ve the opening ceremony look, a medal ceremony tracksuit and what they put on for competitors.

Nonetheless, this text will solely concentrate on competitors put on.

Bear in mind, golf trend is subjective. No reply is right; it’s all in regards to the particular person’s perspective.

After all 32 represented international locations, I discovered one of the best three and the worst three group uniforms.

The one change in rankings is that we’ll award the best-dressed facet, like within the Olympics, with a Gold, Silver and Bronze.

These six had been hand-picked by me, the Enjoying By way of golf trend knowledgeable. Let’s have a look at the three finest and three worst uniforms.

Bronze: Crew New Zealand

The 2 New Zealand golfers, Ryan Fox and Daniel Hillier, wore easy white and black outfits for the week. They went with the extra basic look, but it surely had that means behind it. In case you look carefully, you will note a feather on the polo and hat. This image represents the nation’s rugby group, The All Blacks.

I awarded them the Bronze medal as a result of I beloved that they selected to honor a group from their nation.

Score: 7/10

Silver: Crew Eire

Crew Eire earned the silver medal in group uniforms as a result of they stayed patriotic with out going overboard. Inexperienced, White and Orange are the Irish flag colours, and that’s what Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry wore.

The model they sported additionally included navy blue, which was why they bought silver. Whereas it’s not one of many nationwide colours, it goes properly with all three.

To not point out, McIlroy’s footwear are so cool! He seems like a stylish Irish flag with out it wanting too loud. Plus, pairing that tender inexperienced polo, the navy pants, the white and orange footwear, and a white hat balanced all of it.

Score: 9/10

Gold: Crew USA

Crew USA modified up their wardrobe for the 2024 Olympics. Often, they put on Ralph Lauren, one of many nation’s most iconic manufacturers, however J. Lindeberg bought the nod this 12 months.

Followers weren’t excited in regards to the Swedish clothes firm designing for Crew USA. Many felt they need to put on an American label. I perceive why many felt this fashion, however J. Lindeberg did a unbelievable job channeling patriotism with out wanting just like years previous.

For the previous couple of years, the nationwide group clothes for the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup has felt too related and outdated. Not this assortment, although. It’s daring and classy with out getting gaudy. Hate all of it you need, but it surely was one of the distinctive collections amongst all 32 international locations.

Sunday’s group outfit was one in every of my favorites. The navy pants with the pink and white stripes down the facet had been completely different from everybody else’s. Their Pink, White and Blue polo was basic and never an excessive amount of. Plus, lots of the items weren’t too wild.

J. Lindeberg tailor-made the clothes completely to every participant, which earned them bonus factors.

Score: 10/10

The three worst group uniforms on the 2024 Olympics

3. Crew Norway

Crew Norway ranks No. 3 on the worst uniforms listing due to this polo. Viktor Hovland hardly ever wears issues I don’t like, however this polo is flat-out ugly. We’ve seen this sample quite a few instances up to now few weeks. The Olympics ought to function particular outfits to characterize their homelands, so why did Puma roll this out for Crew Norway?

Regardless, my opinion has not modified – it’s nonetheless cheesy.

Why does it have a special shade collar?

It seems Puma wished to do a Nordic sample, however as soon as they put the golf golf equipment, tees and balls on the polo, it instantly gave ugly Christmas sweater vibes. Including these golf parts makes me take it much less severely. We get it — they play golf. I most likely wouldn’t hate the shirt a lot in the event that they left these symbols off.

Score: 3/10

2. Crew Canada

Crew Canada is subsequent as a result of their competitors clothes was in all places. That they had a polka dot polo with shiny pink pants, a 20-shade grey outfit, and a few loud pink and black camo.

Whoever styled this group didn’t execute it properly. Crew Canada has guys like Nick Taylor, who often look fairly sharp after they tee it up on the PGA Tour. I’m all for group colours, however that is an excessive amount of. It’s out of fashion and cheesy.

I noticed too many pink tops and white bottoms this week (together with Crew USA), which made all the pieces run collectively. It felt like manufacturers had been lackadaisical about scripting.

Score: 2/10

1. Crew Australia

The worst uniforms of the week are, arms down, Crew Australia’s. Somebody assist the Aussies out with their clothes as a result of that is hideous. It’s so shiny that it might blind somebody if the solar displays off it good.

Jason Day usually seems phenomenal on the course in his Malbon Golf apparel, however his Crew Australian outfit is hideous. The colours conflict, and the sample is simply old-fashioned. Asics ought to have supplied a high-crowned visor as an alternative of this low one. Day seems like he’s carrying a kind of loopy soccer visors with spiky hair constructed into it.

Min Woo Lee additionally bought washed out on this shade. He’s one other one who seems usually unbelievable, and these choices had been horrendous. They didn’t match him appropriately, and that was simply the cherry on high of why they’ve the worst group uniforms.

Crew Australia wants a makeover!
