I see that some of the players at the Abu Dhabi Championship were wearing shorts. Is this a new thing the DP World Tour is allowing? And if so, why weren't they all wearing shorts given how damn hot the place must be?

It's been in place for some years now..
If the temperature gets too high then shorts are allowed...
Some, obviously, don't feel comfy doing it..

Some pros are worried they might get shouted at for wearing the wrong socks.

Ok thanks, I wasn't aware of that.
Presumably the PGA tour still doesn't allow it?

Not that I'm aware of.....even in the Southern heat they still wear longs....

Some may not have got the 'word' in time to repack
As i understand the temp needs to be forecast for exceeding 'x' in order for the short 'rule' to kick in

So stupid. Just let them wear bloody shorts if they want to. "No, you can't wear them, it needs to be 2° warmer." Jog on.

Takes me back to my school days when if the temp stayed over a certain level the headmaster issued, "shirt sleeves order!"
There's some very smart shorts etc being worn at this event, and even some excellent "fitted" untucked shirts. I don't think it's quite lead to anarchy or civil unrest!

Shorts look a lot smarter than joggers
