Tyrrell Hatton secured a signature European Tour career win at the 2020 BMW PGA Championship, as Ewan Murray reports for The Guardian.

But as Golf.com’s Nick Piastowski notes, Hatton did so sporting a hooded shirt, aka a “hoodie”, making this easily the most significant win for an article of clothing oddly attractive to the coveted demo (for now).

Tyrrell Hatton shot a 5-under 67 on Sunday to win the BMW PGA Championship, one of the premier events on the European Tour. WHILE HE WORE A HOODIE. Midway through the round, he dropped into a tie for the lead, then peeled off four birdies on the back nine to pull away. WHILE HE WORE A HOODIE. The victory came on a Wentworth Golf Club course that he visited as a kid. WHILE HE WORE A HOODIE. 

Piastowski goes on to share the lively social media views on Hatton’s optional head covering.

Hatton lifted the “hood” for his trophy ceremony photos.
