Ever since Jason Day left Nike for Malbon, the Australian golfer’s bold outfit choices have been a hot topic. However, it was his caddie, Luke Reardon, who stole the spotlight on Friday at the US Open. At Pinehurst No.2, during the second day of the third men’s major of the year, Reardon sported a distinctive Malbon cap that seemed more suited for the Tour de France than the golf course.
Naturally, this fashion statement did not go unnoticed by the golf community on Twitter. One user quipped, “Jesper Parnevik’s goodwill donation,” in a nod to the famously quirky Swedish golfer. Another joked, “Didn’t know he interned at Google,” while yet another remarked, “It’s just missing the little spinner on the top.”

But Reardon wasn’t the only one getting teased by Golf Twitter this week. World number one Scottie Scheffler also found himself the subject of social media buzz due to his new haircut, which was trimmed as closely as the meticulously maintained greens of Pinehurst.
The light-hearted ribbing of Reardon and Scheffler highlights how fashion and appearance continue to play a playful role in the world of professional golf.
