Style Insider: 2018 THE PLAYERS Championship recap

Check out the best looks, coolest kicks and hottest trends from the week at TPC Sawgrass. Phil Mickelson (Mizzen+Main) Rickie Fowler is no stranger to controversial fashion selections, but this week it was his playing partner Phil Mickelson who had social media buzzing. Lefty played the first two rounds in a performance button-down from menswear brand Mizzen+Main before missing the cut. Expect this to be a regular style for Phil moving forward. He first wore a Mizzen+Main dress shirt during a practice round at Augusta and he reportedly inked a deal with the brand last week which gave him an undisclosed stake in the company. Webb Simpson (FootJoy) 2018 PLAYERS Champion Webb Simpson has always favored a classic style, but he uses modern details to keep his looks fresh and on point. Throughout the week he put a contemporary spin on traditional looks with heathered textures, splashes of bright colors, and trim 5-pocket trousers. Bubba Watson (G/FORE) Personal edition shoes are all the rage with professional athletes in other sports, and Bubba is leading the charge on the PGA TOUR. He teamed up with G/FORE and sneaker artist Roland Patron of Nomad Customs on these Mother’s Day shoes. Patron has created custom cleats for Major League Baseball players and bespoke golf shoes for NBA stars Chris Paul and Ray Allen. He even created the Kobe Bryant tribute shoes Tony Finau wore at the TOUR Championship last fall. Dustin Johnson (adidas Golf) Bubba wasn’t the only one with special kicks for the week. DJ and other adidas Golf players debuted the brand’s Special Edition Silver BOOST™ shoes during the second round. This is only the second time adidas has used a colored BOOST midsole in a golf shoe. (A black colorway was worn at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play back in March.) To celebrate the launch, adidas outfitted its players in coordinating white and silver outfits to complement the shoes. Jason Dufner Proving that TOUR players are just regular guys, Jason Dufner apparently hit the pro shop at TPC Sawgrass for a little souvenir shopping and he emerged with this old-school rope hat. Playing without a headwear contract this year, Dufner has displayed a random assortment of lids, including everything from professional sports teams to surf shops. If you are looking to take your headwear game to the next level this summer, add a retro rope hat to your repertoire. Patrick Cantlay (TravisMathew) All-over prints continue to be one of the biggest fashion trends on the fairways and summer is the perfect time to have some fun with them. This whimsical print from TravisMathew, which consists of dancing tacos, cacti, sombreros and whistles tells people you are up on the latest styles, but you don’t take yourself too seriously. Charl Schwartzel (Michael Kors) As we move into the hot and humid months, many of us will be looking to beat the heat by slipping on white shirts and shorts. While head-to-toe white outfits typically scream, “hospital orderly,� Charl Schwartzel’s predominately white kit had just enough navy blue to feel fresh and athletic for a warm day on the links. By the way, this is the one time you want to wear a white belt. Jonas Blixt (J.Lindeberg) One of the more artistic looks at TPC Sawgrass was courtesy of Jonas Blixt and J.Lindeberg. Blixt sported one of the polos from the Swedish fashion house’s new Art Polo capsule collection. This polo was created by an artist who sketched the design by hand and used a deep ink saturation technique to make it appear like the design was painted directly on the shirt. The two X’s symbolize J.Lindeberg’s 20 years in the golf apparel market. Billy Horschel (RLX Ralph Lauren) Any time Billy Horschel tees it up, he is one of the best dressed players. What separates Horschel from the pack is his attention to details. Notice how he matched his belt to his collar in both of these outfits. That is how you take your style game to the next level. Danny Lee (Devereux) Monochromatic grey kits are trickier than they may seem. Wearing the same shade of grey from top to bottom can make your outfits look flat and boring. When wearing grey from head to toe, take a page out of Danny Lee’s fashion playbook and pair a darker shade with a lighter one to add depth and sophistication to your look.

There are two spots available at each Monday qualifier after the COVID-19 break.

Donnie Trosper (67) Age: 23 College: Michigan State University Turned pro: 2019 PGA TOUR starts: 0 PGA TOUR earnings: Twitter: @DonnieTrosper Notes: This will be his first start on any of the PGA TOUR-sanctioned tours … Won in a three-hole playoff for the final spot … Lost in a playoff for the last spot in the Puerto Rico Open Monday qualifier this year … Is a 2020 Korn Ferry Tour member … Made it from Pre-Qualifying all the way to final stage at Q school … Shot every single round under par in Q school … Transferred to Michigan State after three years at Central Florida … At Central Florida, he was named conference freshman of the year and made All-conference twice … In his one year at Michigan State he set the lowest scoring average in school history (71.37) … Ranked as high 241st in World Amateur Golf Rankings before turning pro … won four American Junior Golf Association events in 2014, tying for second all-time with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson TROSPER Q&A A quick chat with Donnie Trosper after Monday qualifying at the Rocket Mortgage Classic: PGATOUR.COM: What does it mean to Monday qualify for you to get your first PGA TOUR start in your home state? TROSPER: You know, this course really set up for well for my game, it sets up really well for a fade and that is what I hit, so I was confident coming in. It just means a lot. I really can’t believe it right now. It hasn’t sunk in, I’m sure that will take some time. You always think you are going to eventually get there, but this is a really great feeling, like I said before, I just can’t believe it. PGATOUR.COM: There haven’t been many playing opportunities because of quarantine. What did you do to keep your game in shape and what were your expectations coming in to today? TROSPER: I used Dustin Johnson as some motivation, he came off of vacation and won at the Travelers [Championship], so figured I could come out of quarantine and play well. Luckily, I grew up on a golf range, so I worked really hard on game during the break and felt really good coming in. A lot of the guys here are in the same situation, without good status we all haven’t played much, so that was pretty equal across the board. PGATOUR.COM: You lost in a playoff for Puerto Rico Open. Did you learn anything from that playoff, that you were able to apply to today? TROSPER: Yes, for sure, just to not to put so much pressure on myself. I put a ton of pressure on myself in that playoff and I am sure it hurt me. I also learned a little from Daniel Berger then other day in the Charles Schwab Challenge playoff. He was on the range ripping drivers while Colin Morikawa was hitting wedges. I used that warming up for playoff, ripping some drivers really helped me get some of the tension out and loosened me up. I tried my best to enjoy myself. PGATOUR.COM: On the first playoff hole, you made a long birdie putt, but Andres Echavarria made one right after that. Is it hard to reset mentally, thinking you might have won it, only to have him make one also? TROSPER: I was really proud of that putt; I mean you dream of putts like that. And to make it was really cool. You play your whole life for a putt like that, and to make it was just awesome. But yeah, it’s disappointing for sure to have him make it right on top of me. On the walk over to the next tee, I really had to refocus. Then he made that great up and down on the second playoff hole, you just have to keep focused. PGATOUR.COM: How many times have you played Detroit Golf Club? Will you have some home course advantage? TROSPER: I just played there last week with (former Detroit Red Wing) Darren McCarty and (former Detroit Lion) T.J. Lang. It really helped me, I think, with playing it under pressure, I was really nervous playing with those guys. I really hope that helps this week. It’s so rare in golf to be able to sleep in your own bed and play in an event, let alone a PGA TOUR event. I really just can’t wait for this week.
