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 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.

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

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

After all 32 represented nations, I discovered the perfect three and the worst three group uniforms.

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

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

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. If you happen to look carefully, you will notice 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: Staff Eire

Staff 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 sneakers are so cool! He appears like a classy Irish flag with out it wanting too loud. Plus, pairing that comfortable inexperienced polo, the navy pants, the white and orange sneakers, 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 bought the nod this 12 months.

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 manner, however J. Lindeberg did a improbable job channeling patriotism with out wanting much like years previous.

For the previous few years, the nationwide group clothes for the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup has felt too comparable and outdated. Not this assortment, although. It’s daring and stylish with out getting gaudy. Hate all of it you need, however it was one of the vital distinctive collections amongst all 32 nations.

Sunday’s group outfit was one in every of my favorites. The navy pants with the crimson and white stripes down the facet had been totally different from everybody else’s. Their Pink, 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 group uniforms on the 2024 Olympics

3. Staff Norway

Staff 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 prior to now few weeks. The Olympics ought to characteristic 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 special coloration 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 components makes me take it much less significantly. We get it — they play golf. I in all probability 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 brilliant crimson pants, a 20-shade grey outfit, and a few loud crimson and black camo.

Whoever styled this group didn’t execute it properly. Staff Canada has guys like Nick Taylor, who often look fairly sharp once 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 crimson tops and white bottoms this week (together with Staff USA), which made every part run collectively. It felt like manufacturers had been lackadaisical about scripting.

Score: 2/10

1. Staff Australia

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

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

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

Staff Australia wants a makeover!
