Yes. If Nike say it is a golf shirt, then that is good enough at my place.

If it's good enough for Royal Birkdale then I can't see anyone else not allowing them.

I have heard stories(possibly apocryphal) of clubs banning them only to be told they were bought from the clubs pro shop.

Not sure ... our dress code says collarless shirts for men are not allowed, but I think the Nike shirts still have like a short stub collar which might count, they are not normal t-shirts. For women, shirts may be either sleeveless or collarless at our club, but not both at the same time.

In fairness if they never had a swoosh or 3stripes on the chest you wouldn't be allowed to wear them at most clubs.
Just because Nike on this occasion market it as golf attire doesn't mean it is acceptable.
IMO they shouldn't be allowed on any course.

Imagine that. "Sorry sir you can't wear that collarless shirt on this course " bloke replies" I've just bought it from your pro shop" awkward.

I wouldn't wear one myself,but they do look smart enough so can't see a problem with them.
But 3/4 trousers should never be worn EVER!

Probably would be allowed, but not sure what difference it makes in the scheme of things.
Would I wear one? No, I think they look daft!

The Nike ones fit the definition of a collar.
collar
ˈkɒlə/
noun
1.
the part around the neck of a shirt, blouse, jacket or coat, either upright or turned over.
"a shirt collar"
The collar on them is upright, ie not collarless.

i wear one when wearing something on top. i hate to feeling of a collar on a collar.
Nike have steamrollered golf clubs on this one. I would be interested to know if Birkdale would accept them normally but clearly they will not turn Rory away at the Open. My club has contradictory views on certain items so I am not sure how they would react. I suspect they wouldn't say anything but others might.
It's a marketing ploy by Nike to stand out. A bit naughty but that probably adds to the attraction.

Yep. I've got one, bought it in our pro shop, looks really nice and is so comfortable.

Yep it's sacrilege that someone would want to wear one. It really means the GC is slumming it allowing them. Next they will be allowing travellers to park up over night at the course.

This is the type of view I find hard to fathom. I mean, why, how does it affect YOU by someone wearing the top? Simple, it doesn't.
Personally I like them, I said as much on Saturday/Sunday at the club as we were watching the golf.
What other people wear doesn't affect anyone else in the slightest so I really struggle to see why some people are so set against certain things.

My club by definitions written in our rule book wouldn't as it doesnt have a collar but in reality no one would bat an eye lid
