With apologies to John Daly, We all know that Rickie Fowler is the most outrageous dresser in the PGA today, and maybe even in golf history. Today, he once again received a lot of attention for his attire, but this time for an entirely different reason.
Fowler wore knickers and argyle socks as a tribute to the late Payne Stewart, the beloved golfer who won the US Open at Pinehurst 15 years ago but tragically died in a plane crash just four months later.
