Tommy Fleetwood, the World No.3 golfer from England, has become a focal point in professional golf fashion this year. After parting ways with Nike at the season’s start, he has been sporting a variety of apparel brands. Recently, he was seen wearing Malbon clothing, among other brands, as he prepares for the Genesis Invitational.
Apparel Evolution and Recent Performances
Fleetwood’s journey with different apparel providers has sparked discussions in the golfing community. After a T3 finish at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, he arrived at the Genesis Invitational, hosted by Tiger Woods at the renowned Riviera Country Club.
During practice, Fleetwood’s fashion caught attention, particularly his Malbon sweater. Contradicting speculation about a potential signing with Malbon, he clarified that the sweater was loaned to him by fellow golfer Jason Day.
Association with Malbon
Jason Day, who joined Malbon in January 2024, has been a prominent ambassador for the brand. Fleetwood expressed appreciation for borrowing the clothing, remarking, “Friends helping friends.”
Malbon, established in 2017, has gained traction among professional golfers, attracting notable names such as Charley Hull and Fred Couples.
The Genesis Invitational Experience
During his preparations at Riviera, Fleetwood continued the trend of wearing apparel associated with the host course. He sported a black hat featuring ‘The Riviera CC’ emblem. Previously, at Pebble Beach, he had donned apparel showcasing the course’s branding, which he enjoyed as he stated, “I feel like I’m a big golf fan.”
The Future of Tommy Fleetwood’s Apparel
Despite the varied styles his wardrobe displays, indications suggest that a long-term clothing deal may not be imminent. Fleetwood mentioned the conclusion of his contract with Nike and the uncertainty surrounding his apparel choices this season.
As he progresses in the Genesis Invitational, Fleetwood will continue to be a trendsetter, navigating the intersection of golf performance and fashion.
