Style icon: Tiger Woods

You've never seen him on a runway. You've never seen him in Elle or on E! And you've certainly never seen him associated with the likes of Calvin Klein or any other world-renowned designers. (His wife, a Swedish model, is a different story). But Tiger Woods, a 30-year-old professional golfer, has got serious style. Golf has always been a sport where the competitors dress up, at one time with knickers and a shirt and tie get-up, and today with a collared shirt and khaki pants. But ever since Tiger Woods signed an apparel contract with Nike almost 10 years ago, he's raised the bar for golf course fashion.
Nike has given him the chance to give his input on his self-titled line - Tiger Woods, or TW. And I'm not sure whether or not Tiger has impeccable good taste in clothing or he has a Nike representative that picks out his outfits from head to toe, but he looks darn good every week. Other pro golfers can be seen with less-than-flattering color choices and clothes that just aren't tailored correctly.
His influence can be seen throughout not only the United States, but around the world. Golfers everywhere are mimicking his style and buying up Nike Golf's Tiger Woods line. Clean-cut trousers, firm-pressed collared shirts with unique patterns and colors, and an array of sweaters and vests perfect to wear while shooting under-par every week are what make up the Tiger Woods line.
