It would be like wearing Dockers to the prom. Or a wedding dress to UFC. Or a Toga to a golf tournament. Shouldn’t the ororganizers of the world’s most attended golf tournament have outfits a bit more stylish than something Jar Jar Binks might wear to a Bee Gees Party? The Master’s has green jackets.

All Hail Gordon James!
