ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates – Jordan Spieth says the PGA Tour should take a cue from its European counterpart and allow players to wear shorts.
“I think it’s awesome,” Spieth said Wednesday at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, responding to the European Tour’s relaxed dress code during tournament practice rounds and pro-ams. "It will be something that I would love to see on the PGA Tour, as well. I’ve not heard one person complain about it."
After pressure from senior players such as Darren Clarke, Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter, the 15-man tournament committee voted to allow players to wear shorts before the competitive rounds begin.
