Which Male Pro Golfers Have the Most Impressive Hairstyles?
In the world of professional golf, the game isn't the only thing that's attracting attention. Notable hairstyles have become a talking point, with some players embracing classic looks and others going for more adventurous styles.
One of golf's biggest stars, Rory McIlroy, recently made headlines with a new shorter haircut debuting at the 2025 Scottish Open. The style change, which sparked mixed reactions on social media, gave McIlroy a more mature, aged look compared to his previous style.
Other players recognized for their distinctive hairstyles include Keith Mitchell, known for his retro look with tidy hair that sometimes protrudes out of his visor. Golf Digest even named him The Best Dressed Golfer of 2024. Tommy Fleetwood's long flowing hair has achieved cult status and earned him the nickname 'Fairway Jesus'.
Robert Rock is often considered the undisputed king of hair in the men's pro game, known for his neat and tidy hair with a bit of character. Tony Finau's hair always has a classic, tidy look, suggesting significant grooming effort and the use of 'product'.
Miguel Angel Jimenez fully embraces the 'you be you' mantra, with big cigars, fine red wines, and hair that has taken on a life of its own. Often free and flowing or tied up in a man bun or ponytail, Jimenez's hair is as much a part of his persona as his golf game.
In recent times, Marcel Siem, the German golfer, was known for his ponytail or manbun and his fondness for fancy floral shirts. However, he has recently cut his long hair. Garrick Higgo, the left-handed South African golfer, has showcased a variety of hairstyles in his early tour career, including a big hairdo that burst out from beneath his cap during his win at the 2025 Corales Puntacana Championship.
Aaron Baddeley, the four-time PGA Tour winner from Australia, currently sports a very long hairstyle that is distinctive and suits the Aussie vibe. Martin Couvra, the winner of the 2025 Turkish Airlines Open, revealed a mop of curly fair/blonde hair when he removed his cap. Neal Shipley, the pro from Pennsylvania, sports a unique hairstyle that seems to fit his personality perfectly.
While McIlroy’s updated look is subtler, these players have embraced both classic and more adventurous styles, making hair a point of personal expression alongside their golf performance. It's clear that in the world of professional golf, the game isn't the only thing that's stylish.
Sports and golf are not distant in the professional world, as some players use their hairstyles to make a statement. For instance, Aaron Baddeley sports a long distinctive hairstyle that reflects his Australian vibe.
