Most golfers dress like the pro shop told them to. These five didn’t, and you could pick each of them out from the far side of the range. That’s the bar we used: a look so particular that you can build an outfit around it fifty years later, or from the other side of the world.
They make it look like their own. Palmer’s cardigans and Korda’s cargos have nothing in common except that neither looks like a costume. Palmer wore three colors that didn’t match and made it look deliberate. Korda put camo on at a major and made it look like she always had. Wear it with confidence and it reads as style.
You don’t have to copy them. Nobody needs Moe Norman’s pants exactly an inch too short or a sterling AK buckle. Take one idea per golfer: a cardigan over a polo, a mock neck under everything, one loud piece, a white tee and shorts on the range, a second watch. Each section starts with what they actually wore, then gives you a dozen ways in.
We mixed the brands the way they did. Korda, Lee and Palmer’s name are tied to big brands, so Nike, lululemon and Puma are here. Kim now wears Malbon, which started small, and independents from Perth to Stockholm fill in the rest. Everything was in stock when we checked on October 21, 2026.

Since moving to Nike in 2023, Korda has stuck to mock necks, clean lines and quiet colors. PGA.com’s fashion expert called it “classy, athletic and graceful — never overdone.” Then at the 2025 AIG Women’s Open at Royal Porthcawl she wore camo cargos and an oversized jacket, and Skratch called it the best golf fit of her career. These picks are menswear, borrowing from both sides of her wardrobe.
Esquire put Palmer on its list of the best-dressed men of all time, and the look was simple: a cardigan or sweater in red, navy, foam green, gray or yellow, a shirt in a color that didn’t match, and slacks with a razor crease. Since 2017, the winner of his Invitational at Bay Hill gets a red cardigan.
The Perth-born lululemon ambassador won his first PGA Tour title at the 2025 Houston Open and dresses like he’s having more fun than everyone else. He lists mock necks, the mullet, the mustache and the shades as his branding, and he turned “Let Him Cook” into a lululemon collection. Picks here include his lululemon staples, plus color, pattern and a few Australian brands from his corner of the country.
In 2008 Kim won twice on the PGA Tour and beat Sergio García 5 and 4 at the Ryder Cup, with a backward hat and a big custom AK belt buckle. Then he disappeared for 12 years. He came back with LIV in 2024, hitting balls in a white tee, gym shorts and runners, won LIV Adelaide in February 2026 and became an equity partner in Malbon, which now sells his AK 1% line.
The Canadian two-time national amateur champion was golf’s purest ball-striker and one of its oddest dressers. He buttoned long-sleeve shirts to the chin in any heat, wore turtlenecks in summer, liked bright colors and mixed stripes with plaids, and his pants were always an inch too short. He wore two watches at once. He was frugal, too, so plenty of these picks are cheap.
Camo cargo pants with Nike tops and an oversized Nike Sportswear jacket at Royal Porthcawl. Skratch called it the best golf fit of her pro career.
Nike, since January 2023. Before that she wore J.Lindeberg. Her clubs are TaylorMade.
Cardigans and sweaters were standard golf wear in his era, and Palmer made them his own in red, navy, foam green, gray and yellow. The winner of the Arnold Palmer Invitational has received a red cardigan since 2017.
lululemon. He became a global ambassador in January 2024, and his favorites include the ABC Slim Fit trouser, the Evolution polo and the Soft Jersey Half Zip.
His initials. In 2008 he wore big custom AK buckles that Golf Digest called his bling belt. In 2026 he became an equity partner in Malbon, which sells an AK 1% line.
Long-sleeve shirts buttoned to the chin even in heat, turtlenecks in summer, bright colors with stripes and plaids, and pants that were always a little too short. He also wore two watches.
