Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler brought matching style to the green for the 2023 PGA Championship.
Both golfers — McIlroy representing Ireland, Scheffler representing the U.S.A. — were seen in Rochester, New York on Saturday for the tournament’s third round at Oak Hill Country Club. For the occasion, each wore a version of Nike‘s lightweight waterproof zip-up jacket and elastic-waist pants, each cast in a deep tonal beige hue.
However, their base outfits differed; Prior to the rain, McIlroy wore a black technical shirt beneath a white Nike polo and cap with the same pants, while Scheffler tapped a similar color palette with a white zip-up Nike windbreaker, cap and gray trousers.

Where the pair most notably differed — though still coordinated — were their choices of Nike golf shoes. McIlroy opted to wear a pair of Nike’s $180 Air Zoom Victory Tour 3 shoes, which featured white grained leather uppers with Zoom Air units, molded 3-D collars and dark gray Swoosh symbols. Paneled white and light gray rubber outsoles with Cyclone Pro Tour spikes practically completed the pair.
Meanwhile, Scheffler similarly laced into a pair of white Nike gold shoes. His $150 Nike Air Zoom Tiger Woods ’20 style featured matte white dress shoe-inspired synthetic leather uppers, punctuated by black Swoosh logos. The lace-up set was finished with foam-cushioned insoles, as well as monochrome white rubber outsoles with removable spikes for a dapper finish.
The PGA Championship is a 72-hole golf tournament held in New York. The 2023 event was held from May 18 to 21, 2023 at the Oak Hill Country Club, won by Brooks Koepka. Other players competing included Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Viktor Hovland.
