Tiger Woods: Plenty of tributes during final rounds Sunday
It’s been almost a week since the horrific crash that Tiger Woods was in. He has an enormous impact on golfers all across the nation, and many are paying tribute during their final rounds on Sunday.
We all know the classic Tiger Woods look. Black Pants and a red shirt, with a black hat to top it off. I don’t know what it is about it, but there aren’t many looks in sports that look cooler. There weren’t many people who were able to look cooler either.
Whether it was the admiration so many have for him, the swag he was able to do it, or the talent that the man himself has, but the look is iconic. Then you add in the images of him walking from his car to the course, rocking the backward hat, and it makes it even cooler.
There were homages to Tiger Woods all across the world of golf.
He got it from the only man in recent memory that was cooler, Ken Griffey Jr. He actually showed up at a Seattle Mariners practice to take BP with Jr, leading to an iconic photo of the two men next to each other, both rocking the backward hat.
This weekend, we are seeing people across all sorts of tours rocking the Tiger Woods look. Even his longtime friend/foe Phil Mickelson is rocking it while playing on the Champions Tour. For the first, and likely only, time in my life, I’m okay with Patrick Reed on the golf course, as he is one of the people wearing red/black as well.
Many people, myself included, call Tiger Woods the G.O.A.T. when it comes to golf. It should be noted that this is for the men’s side. The likely G.O.A.T. on the women’s side was paying homage to Tiger Woods as well, and it just so happened to be in his first tournament back in quite a while. Annika Sorenstam is at her first LPGA event since 2008, and went with the red shirt and black golf skirt to honor Tiger.
The best look though, is the one that rocks the backward hat. Even though he knows he doesn’t wear the fit as nice, he still went for it, and Tony Finau is hoping to channel some of that Tiger Woods magic at the final round of the WGC Workday.
It’s not even just players that are doing it. The entire staff at the Puerto Rico Open was rocking the look as well. It was a fantastic site to see all over the golf world, as fans and non-fans alike remember and pay homage to Tiger Woods this Sunday.
