Since 2016, golf has been a regular occurrence at the Olympics. American fans will especially remember the last Olympics, where Xander Schaufelle grabbed a gold medal for the nation. Now it looks like the preparations for the upcoming Paris Olympics are in their final stages, with the official clothing lineup coming up.

With Team USA returning to defend their title, how they dress themselves plays a crucial role. The American team has picked J.Lindeberg to design men’s and women’s Olympic golf teams’ apparel. The bold choices of designs chosen by the Scandinavian label for the Team USA look have been remarked as a failed attempt by the fans, and have left them with a sour taste in their mouths.
