PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Justin Thomas is the latest PGA Tour professional to turn into an apparel free agent.
Thomas had an apparel take care of Greyson Clothiers since March 2022, which expired — he beforehand had a take care of Polo, too — and he’s elected to comply with within the footsteps of Tommy Fleetwood and put on no matter he needs on the course.
“It’s kind of nice,” he mentioned on Monday throughout a press convention forward of the Players Championship, the PGA Tour’s flagship occasion. “Just was one of those things that, you know, when it’s right and when something makes sense, the timing, it will be what it is. But now, for the time being, yeah, I’m just kind of enjoying what I’m most comfortable in and whatever it is at that specific time.”
It’s turn into commonplace for Tour professionals to elect to be gear free brokers in order that they will play the golf equipment that they assume will make them essentially the most cash on this period of big-money paydays. Most prime tour professionals have settled for an apparel model ambassador. With prize cash rising, some gamers are choosing the liberty to do their very own scripting moderately than being informed what outfits to put on.
“It’s refreshing but it’s also, it’s harder,” Thomas mentioned. “I mean my wife will tell you like I’ll sit there and just stare in my closet and look and say, ‘OK, I can do this with this.’
“I mean, I love clothes. I love fashion. I’ve always enjoyed it. So that being said, when it comes to like packing I’m not having her pick the stuff out for me or like I’m not just kind of grabbing some pants and shirts. I like to put together outfits and figure it out. But because I’m doing it it’s probably taking me quite a bit longer than it did the other way.
“It’s fun to be able to do me. It’s just kind of like whatever you’re waking up and feeling that day type thing. But may have to put a little more thought of it ahead of time for some weeks.”
Fleetwood cut up with Nike and has made headlines for sporting the brand of a number of of the golf programs that he is performed, together with Augusta National, Pebble Beach and final week Bay Hill. Thomas, who has been noticed in Holderness & Bourne in addition to Greyson, mentioned he and Fleetwood have been maintaining tabs on their outfits.
“We’ve kind of joked and seen each other here and there and we’ll kind of look at what they’re wearing, kind of look at the tag, see what’s going on,” he mentioned.
