This past weekend's St. Jude Championship was played in scorching conditions in Memphis, Tennessee and the players were struggling to keep themselves cool. Harris English's caddie, Eric Larson was treated for heat stroke, while tournament winner Lucas Glover claimed he did not "get this wet in the shower" on Saturday morning. This prompted Spiranac to suggest the PGA should follow in the footsteps of LIV, who allow their players to wear shorts during tournaments. "I know what a couple of you are saying out there," the 30-year-old said Monday via a video posted on social media platform X. "'Well, it's tradition and they want to look like professionals.' You're saying that in the air conditioning on your nice, cool couch, drinking an ice cold beer. The men on the PGA Tour should absolutely be able to wear shorts, and the rule needs to change right now. "Lucas Glover won for the second week in a row in a hot and humid Memphis. He also won for the worst documented case of swamp a-- that we have ever seen. The guys were absolutely dying. They were sticking their hands in the ice coolers to bring their body temperature down. It is 2023, get it together, give the guys an option to wear shorts." In September 2022 LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman said the circuit's aim is to attract a younger audience and make it fun and a move to help achieve that was confirming players can wear shorts. "It's official," Norman said at the time. 'As of tomorrow, LIV Tour players will be able to wear shorts. The first league and tour to make it official." It was a big move given the PGA Tour and DP World Tour have resisted calls over the years to allow players to wear shorts during tournaments. Many believed){kind=link}
