The Return of Texture: Cords, Knits, Terry, and the Rejection of Slick Poly

The Return of Texture: Cords, Knits, Terry, and the Rejection of Slick Poly

By Raymond Williams


2 mins read

For years, golf style has been dominated by slick, synthetic fabrics—polyester blends engineered for performance but often void of personality. But there's a shift happening. Quietly at first, now louder. Texture is making a comeback.

You see it in the plush knits and piqué polos from Holderness & Bourne, in the soft terry layers and full-knit silhouettes from Khalhon, and in the brushed cottons and hybrid outerwear from Peter Millar. Radmor is taking it a step further—ditching polyester altogether in favor of organic cottons and natural blends with visible character. And of course, Ralph Lauren continues to lead with heritage-rich staples—corduroy overshirts, linen layers, and soft tailoring that feel timeless but fresh.

REELS

The golden child wins again! 🏆 Auburn’s Jackson Koivun won his second-straight SEC Individual Championship, making him the first player to do so since 1976. Watch him and the rest of the defending National Champions in the full episode of Skratch University at the link in our bio.

Former World No. 1 Yani Tseng made a fascinating change to her game this week. 👀 @addie_parker breaks down the five-time major champion’s new putting style and why she’s not giving up at this week’s Chevron Championship.

Instead of a ball rollback, @neal_shipley19 has another suggestion.... 🤔 @deerap caddies nine for Neal at his home course in the latest ‘On The Bag.’ Watch at the link in our bio.

There has only been one hole-in-one on a par 4 in PGA TOUR history. Nicolai Højgaard NEARLY made the second at the 2023 Zurich Classic.

The test results are in and we can confirm: @neal_shipley19’s a certified stud. @deerap goes ‘On The Bag’ for the rising star at his home course. Link in bio to watch their full round.

Trash talk is truly Glo’s 15th club. 😆 @apgatour pros play a 2V2 at Dye’s Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass on this Bridge the Gap, presented by @bridgestone. Post-match, watch what really matters as two college golf teams cash in on the experience of a lifetime at @tpcsawgrass, via the link in bio.

Some of the most relatable golf you’ll ever see 😬. Woody Austin has never been afraid to tell it like it is. No better example is after this happened at the 2008 Zurich Classic.

Calls with Presidents (plural), a private celebration and jokes at his own expense. Post-Masters Rory is going to be a problem.

Two putters, two nicknames. @deerap caddies for @neal_shipley19 in the latest On The Bag. Link in bio.

@robertmacintyre didn't love it until it went in 😂

Finding the right clubs for your game can get complicated. Resident gear expert @rdsbarath is here to help you better understand how the different clubs, balls and equipment all stack up. Welcome to Bench Tested. In the first episode, we put @callawaygolf Elyte Series fairway woods and the new Elyte Mini Driver to the test. Watch the full episode at the link in bio.

Some say the market is oversaturated. We see it differently. More options don’t dilute the culture—they enrich it. More voices, more styles, more stories mean a better chance for each of us to find something that fits. Not just physically, but personally. A more crowded landscape isn’t a problem when it gives individuals and communities the freedom to choose what truly speaks to them. Watch the first episode of Course Café at the link in bio!

Diving into the suspension and the invitation heard ‘round the golfing globe in this week’s @knockaround. @deerap also covers a patrons ticket crackdown, three monumental victories worldwide, and a reminder that golf is really, really hard.

What are you hitting from 184 yards out of the rough? #tigertuesday

@justinthomas34’s epic week at Harbour Town ended with him wearing tartan plaid. @rdsbarath dives into JT’s @titleist gear and the stats that helped him to his first PGA TOUR win since 2022.
