Golf fashion continues to be a hot topic in the 2024 PGA Tour season, with players showing off some impressive style at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
That being said, fashion is a subjective topic and there are no right answers.
While not everyone likes to take risks and dress traditionally, there are ways to balance trendiness with tradition.
Akshay Bhatia does this well, blending traditional with trendy by wearing Grayson Clothes. This week, our focus is on finding traditional outfits that look great. Bright patterns are great, but sometimes, it's nice to see a guy rock a classic style.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at the five most stylish golfers through the first two days of the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

This subtle pattern is a great combination with light khaki pants and Joel Dahmen's trademark bucket hat. His style is for people who are willing to take a few risks, but not over the top.
This pattern is trendy enough to make it big time. The shade of blue matches his skin tone very well. He wears Travis Mathew clothes, and the brand does a good job of making sure that what he wears looks good on him. The pattern can also be worn by anyone of any age, proving how versatile the brand is.

Chris Kirk comes in at number four on this list. He always wears traditional clothing, but he finds a way to mix up a little color. On Thursday he wore green, but this shade of red suits him very well.
The color suits him well because he has a reddish beard, and I also like that he wears a gray belt instead of the traditional black one. Kirk still pays tribute to his college team, the Georgia Bulldogs, without being too obvious.

Ming Woo Lee almost always appears on these best dressed lists, and the clothes that Lululemon keeps him in are amazing. Lululemon is one of the most popular brands on the market, so it's traditional yet fashion forward.
The lavender and silver pants look great with his skin tone, and he pulls the whole look together with his trademark sunglasses. It will be interesting to see what Lululemon does next for golf, because so far it's great. More colors please, but keep it going, because this style is something most people would want to wear.

Rickie Fowler is finally making some fashion headlines. This blue polo is the perfect color for him. The gray belt goes really well with the white pants, and the white hat pulls the whole look together. The “P” on the hat matches the polo, and I love the pink on the inside of the collar. It's a nice pop of color without being too flashy.
But I'd rather see him do less of the little patterns and more of the traditional moments, because he does them so well — sometimes those patterns get cheesy and uninspiring, but Fowler was great this week.

Akshay Bhatia led the tournament and also sits at number one on this list as he is a walking definition of a traditional yet trendy player.
This two-tone blue polo shirt from Friday is a perfect match for his skin tone. The flow, beard and glasses bring it all together. It fits perfectly. His polo shirt from Thursday is also nice because it has a pattern but isn't too flashy. Grayson Closure is an ideal choice for Bhatia.
He's wearing joggers. It remains a touchy subject in golf, but he's got it covered. That's just the vibe Bhatia has. This week in Detroit, the 22-year-old is looking and playing his best.
