GOLF IS A GAME OF TRADITION BUT THERE ARE QUIRKY CHARACTERS HITTING THE PGA

1. Andrew “Beef” Johnston: The London-born player, who scored two-under par in Round 1 of the tournament, is one of the most liked internationals in the field. The big, burly golfer was 11 when someone gave him his unique nickname due to the shape and makeup of his hair and head.

2. Jake McLeod: Hills International graduate has brought a hipster vibe to the field. McLeod, who finished third at the Australian Open, boasts a manbun and the young baby face to go with it.

3. Jack Wilson: Together with his partner-in-crime, best mate and caddie ‘Rizz’, Wilson is determined to bring more fun and entertainment to golf. Wilson boasts a hairstyle that resembles dreadlocks tied up in a man-bun while

Rizz, or known by few as Riley O’Neill, often gets compared to the character who plays the caddie in the movie Happy Gilmore.

4. Peter Wilson: He plays golf for a profession, but Wilson is also the owner of one of the biggest skateboard ramps in the world. The ramp is in his backyard in Victoria and Wilson won a two-year legal battle in 2016 to keep it. Wilson built the ramp for his son more than 10 years ago in a bid to ensure they loved the outdoors.

5. Daniel Fox: The New Zealander is brandishing one of the most impressive and intimidating hair features at the Australian PGA Championship. It could be enough to throw his playing partners off their game. Fox and fellow player Daniel Gale are participating in Movember, a month used to raise awareness of men’s health issues. But the hair won’t be staying. Both will be shaving their moustaches off after the end of the second round.
