Wait till they start getting bitten to death by al the midges, the fad of wearing shorts will soon go.
or worse!!!..
Mozzies, sand flies, clegs, all sorts of nasties esp in the nice warm places they play

Nothing, absolutely nothing is worse than midges
I will never forget my first Scotland trip to the Western Isles ... it was very windy and for days we were praying for the wind to stop. Then it did and in a matter of minutes were begging for the wind to pick up again. Demons from a special hell, that's what they are.

The ladies seem to manage in vest & hot pants

The ladies must just be a hardier bunch than some of the wimps on here... If it's not the sight of bare legs that scares them, it's the thought of a few teeny insects....

you have obviously not been bitten by clegs and sand fles then... blood poisoning is far worse than a few wee midges. not to mention malaria from the mozzies

Seem to have no issues for the ladies and on their arms and wearing trousers doesn't stop people getting bitten.
very true, maybe they are more used to rubbing creams and lotions on so its no issue putting on insect repellent.
i always forget, and get bitten to buggery

The mossies round these parts bite through clothing (not that they go for me anyway) so long or short it makes no odds

So personal choice, jeans and a [Mod Edit] or football shirt should be ok if that's all that matters.

Doesn't mean that don't sweat. Does this look either good or comfortable?
I am sure that overheating can cause loss of performance. Look at Jason Day in the US open last year, Vertigo triggered by exhaustion, granted there is an underlying condition.
No they don't need shorts, but it will surely make their game better depending on the conditions.

That first picture isn't sweat no one not ever a super human being like tiger just sweats down the the front lower half of their legs and the second picture is his top half so will not be effected by shorts.

Over here its 35degrees plus for 3 months of the year - you don't see anyone wearing long trousers on the course. At our place it has to be tailored golf shorts and there is absolutely no problem with it at all.

People can sweat there but not only there the inside of his thighs are dry and his shirt is dry. IMO he has been in wet long grass.
