I don't think Tiger Woods dresses very well at all. I generally only ever see him wearing polo tops and slacks which I can go out on any golf course and see. That said, I think soccer players tend to dress the most stylishly (sometimes far too stylishly) while football and basketball players dress the worst. Hockey players, baseball and golfers fall somewhere in between. On the whole I find they only dress well when they're in a GQ spread.

Recently, Boris Becker has been making some appearances as a commentator and I've liked his outfits. Not sure if this has always been the case...

I wonder when McSwain will figure out that one consistent problem with the jackets on his clients is that the sleeves are too long.

First, I just want to say that I don't intend at all to pick over small issues, but rather I want to clarify one thing: Alex Rodriguez wears a size 60L suit? Arnold Schwarzenegger: "At his bodybuilding peak his chest was 57", waist 34", biceps 22", thighs 28½", calves 20", and his competition weight was 235 lbs (260 lbs off-season)." source: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000216/bio/ If Arnold's chest was 57" at 235 lbs(or even at 260), granted that people may have vastly different body structures, I don't think that there's any way that A-Rod wears an American 60L.  He must be wearing an Italian size 60, which equates to size 50 American.  Even Mark Prior, with his tree-trunk legs and sizable lats(Under Amrour ad), probably doesn't wear an American 60L at 6'5" 230. How much would you guess Arnold weighs now?

50L makes much more sense than 60L. Rodriguez is listed at 6-3, 210. I'm 6-2, 240 and I wear a 48L.

 If I had to choose, actually this guy does dress well, is that golfer who is dressed by J. Lindenburg.
Jesper Parnevik looks and dresses like an eccentric freak. Johan Lindeberg is a really good desginer but the yellow slacks and pink polos that Parnevik wears don't belong on the fairway...

No, it's not Jesper. It's someone else I'm thinking of.

How about Jesse Palmer? He looked sharp on the Bachelor (yes, I admit to watching a couple episodes).

Tiger's suit looks crap, but he is accessorizing with an extremely hot girlfriend, which atones for nearly all sins.
His Swedish gf Elin is actually a real skank if you see her up close and personal. She was supposedly a model back in the days but she is really nothing special. Now Tiger himself isn't exactly a "Beckham" in the appearance department but considering what he is worth he could have done a hell of lot better than an average looking Swedish chick with a skin problem.  He must love her for her personality or have really bad taste in women...

Forget about his looks, what about his personality. The guy is a dork. I heard that after the US won the Ryder Cup he went to sleep in his hotel while the rest of the team was drinking and celebrating.
