Phil's sunglasses

[nobody_important]

I think if he could just trade his caddy in for a 911 convertible (golf cart) midlife crisis would be complete.

[MountainGoat]

Nowhere near as cool as Roy McAvoy’s tortoise shell Rayban Wayfarers in “Tin Cup”.

Phil thinks he is half his age still. Pimp daddy Phil?

[adl300]

i knew this would be a topic here. someone commented that he looks like a pilot ready to helicopter some rich people around. this is not a right look.

[Mr. Grumpy]

He is forward thinking and not sure, but at 50 he is probably in some sort of prescription. I swear I tried on the same brand, not style, as a lot are moving to screw hingeless designs. The pair I tried on were a similar hinge design, but I opted for something diff because the hinge would flex weird while extended out and I am kinda OCD. Would have driven me nuts. Cool though and it is where designers are going.

Me at 55, I dig what Phil is doing, except for the french cuff/pin roll of the formal pants. That was kinda too much... Glasses though are CAF...

Lovin the new Phil look.

[Davidv]

Looking for any fashion tips the last person to look at is Phil those glasses are from the highway patrol in the 60's and his black shirt blue pants omg.

[dlygrisse]

Omg.....

I heard he once wore a black belt with brown shoes. Only option is to switch channels to Ru Paul’s drag race at that point.

[Davidv]

You must be from Kansas.

[BraxtonFullerton]

Looks like they're silver Mykita Hampton frames with custom lenses.

[SubaruWRX]

 

Roka Phantom Alloy or Ti maybe?

[CerealKiller]

Ditto this. I'm about to take my yearly eye exam and I'm seriously considering some dedicated golf only glasses. I only need distance glasses for driving, I don't need them for golf, but it does help sharpen up my visuals of the course and ball tracking. My driving glasses are green tint transitions, UV coating, and polarized. From what I've read, green tints aren't all that desirable on the course and there's two camps on polarized lenses. Some golfers like them, others don't.

I'm like most people, I take off my glasses when putting. But my cousin, who is a retired opthalmologist, says senior citizens like me shouldn't be taking off our glasses on the course because of UV damage and macular degeneration from repeated exposure to the sun. So I'm in the process of researching the combination of lens colors and coatings for prescription glasses that I can wear in every type of golf shot situation. And most importantly, I need to be able to read break.

I've had polarized and non, grey, brown, and rose tints, and haven’t noticed any impact +/- on my game. Right now I rotate between some Smith Directors with grey polarized lenses from their tactical department and some Rudy Projects with brown non polarized lenses with a mirror coating from Sports Optical in Denver. The Sports Optical lenses might be the best I’ve ever tried.

 

My recco is to just leave them on for the full round you round. You will get used to them

This HAS to be a part of a brand he has invested in or is launching...Phil doesn't do stuff like this just to do it. Not entirely related but I remember when he first switched to a SuperStroke grip and he blacked out the front logo with a Sharpie until he got one with the big Odyssey logo on it.

Point being, if he's doing something different then I bet he's finding a way to profit from it. That's not a slight, he's just smart. He knows what his image is worth and more power to him for it.

I contacted the distributor who claimed to have given the sunglasses to Phil when he was playing a tournament in Macau last year. They never thought he would wear them.

I wanted to sell them here in the states and asked about distribution. The sunglasses are supposedly custom made in China with a proprietary lens design that allows you to read greens better. They wanted to sell them retail $530 and is made by a company called Ü swing.

It's too rich in for my blood. You can buy them if you have WeChat and know how to communicate in chinese.

 

[TheMoneyShot]

Great info! Im sure they will make it ti the States sooner or later.

[wkndhckr]

As long as he keeps "hitting bombs" no one can say anything.

Why is everyone picking aviators as their guesses? Those are not aviators. To me, they seem closer to the ic! berlin Oli.

5 million in endorsement money and nobody really knows what he is wearing...

[TheMoneyShot]

I have a feeling Phils sun glasses will be a hot commodity now...

[KParks]

Any idea what he was wearing today? Same as previous ones or were these different?

Maybe previously but that definitely isn't what he had on this weekend. The bridge on the nose isn't correct. 

 

This weekend they were one piece across the bridge and those (as well as all of the Roka aviator styles) have two wires.

I asked Mykita directly to shed some light on this and they confirmed that the shades Phil's using are not a Mykita frame. 

I am guessing Ic! Berlin, maybe either model I See or Reese. 

Thoughts?

One of those looks like the best match that I've seen FWIW.

Update: a Mykita rep told me that in some pics Phil's wearing one of their styles, the Pierce (now discontinued), with mirrored lenses though. 

But at this year's PGA that model and brand remain unknown. 

[RobotDoctor]

Didn't Ponch and Jon wear these riding around their motorcycles in the late 70s?

I guess Phil is not endorsing whatever brand he is using.  We would have known by now if that was the case.
