Q: Can professional golfers wear shorts

In February 2019, a change to the PGA Tours Player Appearance guidelines was announced, allowing players to wear shorts during all practice and pro-am rounds. The European Tour has allowed this since 2016, but both Tours still require players to wear trousers during official tournament rounds. The LPGA and Ladies European Tours have allowed shorts, skirts and skorts to be worn for quite some time.

Sweaters and jumpers are also fine, and proper golf shoes are usually required. Waterproof jackets, trousers and pullovers are a great idea to carry in your golf bag, just in case it rains. When in doubt, check with the course you are playing at for more info.
