It’s time to allow shorts on Tour: Yes, I said it.
Agree 100%.No. That one stays.
Even the women get heat, though - in 2017, the LPGA cracked down and instituted a stricter dress code for the women golfers. Apparently Michelle Wie was the prime target, as they thought her outfits were getting too racy: https://www.golfdigest.com/story/lpga-alerts-players-that-a-stricter-dress-code-is-coming
i don’t think it really changed anything though.

Shorts should be allowed.
I don't see any reason why this hasn't been done already. Tradition? How about the evolution of equipment? If tradition was so important, the pro's would still be playing hickory shafted clubs and wearing jackets and ties on the course.

Yes absolutely! Hopefully golf shorts don’t rise in price.

Yes to shorts. They used to play tennis in dress slacks too.
If you want to help grow the game you need to get rid of the snobby stigma it has had for 600 years.

If John Daly could dress on Tour the way he did, then shorts should be allowed.

Old Tom Morris played in a wool suit!!! *shakes fist at clouds*
Today is proving its time to allow shorts on Tour, and I truly believe besides those yelling “tradition!” with no other backing there is no defense of it not being time for this to happen.
The apparent of the game had already evolved a TON from its “tradition”, so it’s natural to evolve more.
It’s easy, allow the EVENTS to decide, shorts or pants.
Now go ahead, get after it and state your case.
