Tiger Woods has some serious suggestions to consider. The veteran golfer appeared on the ‘Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, donning a blue hoodie with SDR (Sun Day Red) etched on the left side of his chest. While the brand name and logo irked many earlier, now Woods has one more thing to take care of. 

The 82-time PGA Tour winner is all jacked up after the ankle surgery. But netizens believe the veteran should pay a little attention to fashion choices, as he has done to his core muscles. Specifically, on his receding hairline. They even have some tips for the 48-year-old.

Tiger Woods’s baldness caught the attention of his fans earlier as well. Some wondered if it was a genetic problem. Well, it isn’t. The former world no. 1 faced questions about his diminishing hairline earlier. Woods joked at that time, “I have a nice skylight, and if I don’t wear a hat, I can feel the heat.” Some fans think the veteran golfer should do something about his “helipad up top.

One user has a bold (or bald) suggestion for the 15-time Major winner. “Tiger needs to shave his head and bring back the goatee,” wrote the Instagrammer. A few concurred. Interestingly, some eagle-eyed fans noticed two more things.

Interestingly, after his 2019 Masters victory, his baldness pattern was the result of a failed hair transplant. The 15x Major Champion, though, said he has resisted transplant so far. Tiger Woods called it a ‘no-win fight,’ and some on the Internet think Woods has finally given up. “Tiger’s got some new hair…he used to be bald on top. I’ve noticed a few players have done the same.” “He dyed his hair!” wrote another. It might have been the lights, however. Interestingly, some netizens found an uncanny similarity with Anthony Kim. “Is it me or does he have the same lazy eye look as Bezos and AK?” wrote one of them. 

Some also shifted their gaze to Woods’s apparel. The Sun Day Red logo is still a hot topic of discussion. The 15 white stripes of the leaping tiger logo represent the 15 majors. But fans didn’t find the explanation very satisfactory. Neither did they like the placement, the lettering, or the overall design.

One user lamented, “You would think with so much at your disposal you could make a better logo.” While another suggested, “Move the logo to the middle at that same height, then get rid of SDR on it.” Ironically, Woods was on the show on the occasion of Sun Day Red’s public debut. In a conversation, the former world no. 1 revealed he once wanted to shun the color red from his day job on the course.

The freewheeling conversation touched upon many things, including a rebellious act in childhood. The special appearance was to shed more light on his new apparel sponsor, Sun Day Red. Woods announced the collaboration in February, but the collection will debut to the public on May 1.

The 48-year-old revealed he didn’t believe in his mother’s ‘superstition.’ Kultida thought red was his power color because Woods was a Capricorn. To prove his mother wrong, the teenager started wearing blue in the final round. God didn’t like it one bit. “My mom thought that (red) was my power color, or some BS thing like that, so I end up wearing red and end up winning some golf tournaments. And then to spite her, I wore blue, and I did not win those tournaments. So Mom is always right,” said Woods.

For the record, Woods did win three times without wearing red in the final round. Tiger Woods also revealed that Sun Day Red thrives on athletic-first vision. “It’s about athletes being first and designing something for the athlete so that we can perform at a higher level.

From image makeover to logo shakeup, the veteran has advice galore. Tiger Woods will play in the PGA Championship this month. The veteran golfer confirmed from Augusta that he hoped to tee off one tournament a month, as he envisioned in December.
