Why Do All PGA Golfers Wear Hats?

PGA golfers wear hats for various reasons:

1. Sun Protection: Hats shade the face, neck, and ears from harmful UV rays, protecting golfers from sunburns and skin cancer.

2. Heat Regulation: Hats absorb sweat and keep the head cool, aiding in thermoregulation during strenuous play.

3. Visibility: Visors on hats shield golfers' eyes from the sun, improving visibility and allowing them to track the ball better.

4. Rain Protection: Waterproof hats keep golfers dry in wet conditions, ensuring their comfort and focus.

5. Style and Tradition: Hats have become an integral part of the PGA golfer's attire, lending an air of professionalism and tradition to the sport.
