When the fourth season of LIV Golf teed off on Thursday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, there was a notable change to the league’s normally laid-back look.
The players weren’t wearing shorts, despite the heat of the desert.
Player-turned-broadcaster Pat Perez revealed on the league’s podcast, “Fairway to Heaven,” that shorts were off-limits going forward.
“The players are wearing pants all year,” Perez said. “I got it confirmed the other day that the players are wearing pants.”
No reason for the change was explained.
While the PGA Tour has never allowed shorts as part of its dress code, the rules were looser when the rival league started up in 2022.
This week’s season opener in Riyadh is the first of 13 events in the regular season before the team championship this fall.
