With three top-three finishes this season, Kurt Kitayama will rock a dynamic look from Chervo's spring/summer 2022 Color Emotion collection. He’ll wear the moisture-wicking Assi polo in Orange Tiger and Timeless Navy, paired with the Scimone trouser made with proprietary sunblock technology and designed in artist-drawn summer slices print. This vibrant color combo will be a crowd pleaser. The Naviglio sweater with jacquard logo detail and a Uscar belt complete the look.

California native, Kevin Chappell, begins the 2022 U.S. Open in style sporting California-based luxury performance wear brand, G/Fore. He'll kick off the weekend in the Straight Leg trouser and Daytona Mid Layer for a classic look and flexible play all day. Completing the outfit, he’ll wear the stand-out Camo MG4+ golf shoe and the Perforated Stripe polo - both pieces are from the new Autumn/Winter 2022 collection launching online and in stores June 15. 

Excellent fit and quality in golf apparel is of utmost importance to Branden Grace, something he consistently finds wearing Kjus year after year. His winning look is a stylish print polo that is moisture-absorbing and fast-drying to keep him feeling fresh while his mind is on the game. This is matched with a technical tailored pant that is flexible with his movements and stays clean all game. A midlayer supports his swing with a light warmth featuring added ventilation and shifted side seams allow for better movement.

Kjus crafts performance-enhancing golf wear designed for golf professionals like Marc Leishman. For his winning look, he’ll pair a sporty polo that is ultra-breathable and stretchy with a technical and flexible pant that provide ultimate comfort. His outerwear features UV protection with moisture-absorbing and quick-drying properties in a handsome look.

Shaun Norris' winning look features technical golf wear from Kjus including a summer polo, designed with cooling properties and moisture-wicking fabrics. He layers this with a lightweight and breathable vest or mid-layer and, to complete the look, a stretchy pant that is both water and dirt resistant offers unrestricted freedom of movement ensuring he will play in ultimate comfort.

Thursday is Smith’s winning look with a burst of refreshing citrus style in this lemonade print golf shirt from Original Penguin. The fun pops on or off the course and the single-knit stretch fabric ensures a flexible fit that moves with you. This polo has a comfortable three-button placket for easy wearing, and a simple self collar for a timeless polo look. A Pete logo adds a fashionable finishing touch.

On Friday, Fox will reach for the vintage-inspired design and subtle stretch fabrication of the Soul Performance Mesh polo. He’ll opt for the time-honored design of the eb66 Performance five-pocket pant, a reference point for comprehensive course performance and relaxed, versatile style. He may opt to layer up in the Perth Tropical Camo Performance quarter-zip, featuring a custom tonal print hand-designed in Peter Millar's Pilot Mill studio.

Kisner’s looks for the week pull from the versatile style and Tailored Fit design of the Crown Crafted line. He’ll wear the Midnight Performance Jersey polo on Saturday, featuring a soft, stretch fabric with a detailed tonal palm print. The Surge Performance trouser delivers water-resistant capability in a subtle heathered fabric with four-way stretch and easy care. And the Flex Adapt half-zip pullover is crafted from the most flexible fabric Peter Millar has ever developed, with a lightweight design that blocks wind when idle and breathes when in motion.

Young's look begins with the Soul Performance polo in Watsonia, a tailored fit design featuring a textured fabrication, a four-button placket and mother-of-pearl buttons. He’ll go with the Tour-tested stretch performance of the eb66 Performance five-pocket pant for classic casual course style. For cooler New England weather, he’ll call on the Hyperlight Weld Hybrid half-zip hoodie, featuring a lightweight, ergonomic design perfect for on and off the course.

Jason Kokrak will open the U.S. Open wearing the Pin High polo shirt that sports a print of assorted red, white and blue pin flags blowing in the breeze. An instant classic from Bill Murray and his brothers, this spirited design is another way of paying homage to the greatest game, while keeping it light.

 The MG4X2 is a multi-functional shoe that takes you from the street to the course with ease. It features a one-piece engineered waterproof G/Dry knit upper with a unique ombre effect, and auxetic lattice midsole for all-day support. There’s also a sawtooth traction pattern outsole for superior grip, and G/Fore’s triple-density foam cushion footbed for a massage with every step.

The South African, who has established himself as a style icon on tour, will compete in his custom-designed Ecco BIOM H4 van Rooyen Edition golf shoes, featuring a black insole, white leather outer and a brilliant patterned finish on the midsole. Hidden on the sole of the shoe is a pop of blue and orange, and the guitar string design on the uppers of the shoe are a nod to his love of the instrument. Innovative features include Ecco Fluidform Direct Comfort Technology, BIOM 2.0 technology, Ecco Mtn Grip outsole and TPU element wraps around the foot from the outsole to the midsole.
