One Sunday in March, I stumbled hazily onto my couch, flipped on the TV, and channel-surfed to the final round of The Players Championship. The last pairing of the day was just teeing off. I recognized one half—the event’s eventual winner, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler—but I’d never seen the other fella before…and also couldn’t take my eyes off him. He was, I quickly learned, Min Woo Lee, the 24-year-old younger brother of two-time LPGA major winner Minjee Lee. And he had the sickest look of any pro golfer I’d seen in ages.

There was his dusty ‘stache, for starters. But it was accented by the mullet splaying out the back of his Callaway cap—visual confirmation of his Aussie upbringing—and the mirrored Oakley wraparounds on his temples. And then, the pièce de résistance: he was wearing a fitted teal short-sleeve mock neck, a.k.a. the most underrated silhouette in golf shirts, which looked so effortlessly cool that even the sponsor logos plastered all over it felt like a shrewd and purposeful design choice.
