The boys’s golf competitors is formally over, as Staff 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 gained Silver for Nice Britain and Hideki Matsuyama gained bronze for Staff 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 vogue.

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 deal with competitors put on.

Keep in mind, golf vogue is subjective. No reply is right; it’s all concerning the individual’s perspective.

After all 32 represented nations, I discovered the most effective three and the worst three workforce 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 have been hand-picked by me, the Taking part in Via golf vogue skilled. Let’s have a look at the three finest and three worst uniforms.

Bronze: Staff 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 traditional look, however it had which means behind it. Should you look carefully, you will notice a feather on the polo and hat. This image represents the nation’s rugby workforce, The All Blacks.

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

Score: 7/10

Silver: Staff Eire

Staff Eire earned the silver medal in workforce 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 obtained silver. Whereas it’s not one of many nationwide colours, it goes nicely 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 comfortable inexperienced polo, the navy pants, the white and orange footwear, and a white hat balanced all of it.

Score: 9/10

Gold: Staff USA

Staff USA modified up their wardrobe for the 2024 Olympics. Normally, they put on Ralph Lauren, one of many nation’s most iconic manufacturers, however J. Lindeberg obtained the nod this yr.

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

For the previous few years, the nationwide workforce 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, however it was probably the most distinctive collections amongst all 32 nations.

Sunday’s workforce outfit was certainly one of my favorites. The navy pants with the pink and white stripes down the facet have been totally different from everybody else’s. Their Purple, White and Blue polo was traditional and never an excessive amount of. Plus, most 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 workforce uniforms on the 2024 Olympics

3. Staff Norway

Staff Norway ranks No. 3 on the worst uniforms checklist 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 previously few weeks. The Olympics ought to function particular outfits to symbolize their homelands, so why did Puma roll this out for Staff Norway?

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

Why does it have a distinct shade collar?

It seems Puma needed 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 critically. 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. Staff Canada

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

Whoever styled this workforce didn’t execute it nicely. Staff Canada has guys like Nick Taylor, who normally look fairly sharp once they tee it up on the PGA Tour. I’m all for workforce colours, however that is an excessive amount of. It’s out of favor and cheesy.

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

Score: 2/10

1. Staff Australia

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

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

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

Staff Australia wants a makeover!
