I’ve got to know Tiger through the years, and I can tell you one thing about his style that won’t surprise you: He doesn’t love change.
2004 The cut of his trousers is very generous. If they fit him better through the hip, his belt wouldn’t have to work so hard. It’s another example of a silhouette gone wrong. You might think these wide-leg trousers would allow more freedom of movement, but that’s not the case. Watch the Olympics. Do you see guys running the 100-metre dash in oversized running shorts? I don’t think so.
2011 Now he’s starting to get
refined. This shirt is a good fit with the shoulder seam kissing the shoulder blade. This is about the time Tiger starts to understand. Nike buys into it, too. Nike was so intimidated with Tiger in the beginning. No one put their foot down and said, “Stop wearing ridiculously oversized clothes.” Had he worn a black glove with this outfit, it could have looked cool.
