Shorts optional based on temps. Otherwise I say let them wear whatever

What do you think? If you were given the vote to allow shorts on tour, which way would you go and why?
Just curious, but do you consider the women on the LPGA unprofessional because they wear shorts/skorts?
Nope. I think comparing the LPGA and the PGA Tour is foolish to be honest. They only thing they share is "PGA" in the title.
Well to be fair they share a bit more.
They are both golf tours
Both professional golf tours
In fact I think they share more than they dont share.
Objectively you are right. I am speaking as someone in a corporate organization that I think most identify with, men wear pants to work, women can wear skirts. It's old fashioned but PGA players are the equivalent I believe and as such a higher level is expected in dress and decorum.
I dont care if PGA players wear shorts, wont diminish my desire to watch the product but there are some things I would like to remain constant, attire being one of them.
I would not have a problem with shorts, though I do like pants for some events. Maybe do it based on temps. If forecast high is above 80 degrees, shorts are ok. Except for Majors. Would like to see slacks for all 4 of those.

If that was the way it was, I think I would be fine. However the women are not wearing skirts, but shorts. The only thing standing in the way is a thing that this sport needs to get over in a bad way.
Well, if attire is what's holding back the game from being embraced by the masses I think it's a stretch. I get the logic, but I dont think it's in the spectrum of what is keeping the public entrenched in the idea its a sport for the elite.
Thats not what I said. Its the entire thing about the elitest sport. Sports steeped in tradition like this, that are holding onto "values" stuck in the stone age get the label. The one thing holding back the "change" (in attire) is the label, which is deserved.

I thought this was just a topic of conversation for the forum. But I am seeing that you feel real strong about this.
Outside of the amount of money a player can earn and their gender, what is different between the two?
It tradition, its classy, it distinguishes the profession. I might have to give up the game if Pros started wear shorts in PGA events.
I have an opinion just like anybody else. Its not real strong one way or the other, but I find things like "I will give up golf if they wear shorts" fairly funny.
Not my argument. Like I said if they wore shorts I would still watch and love the game and it would not diminish my attention. But, if I had to pick one or the other I prefer the look of players wearing pants.
I have no issue with women wearing shorts on their tour. Its a very neat and professional look. I don't think women should have to dress like men in the golf course.But you're good with the LPGA?
I am still a PGA pro at heart and I don't like pants in a professional golf environment should be. I think it brings a level a distinction to the title. Play in short when it calls for it away from the profession on your own time. If the PGA allowed PGA professional to wear shorts, I think it would take away a great deal from the game as whole. I actually think the sport would be taken less seriously.I have an opinion just like anybody else.

I think certain professions require a look that sets them a part. Call me old fashioned but that how I get down.
