Greg Norman's straw hat, seen here during the 1996 Masters, became part of his signature look. The Aussie earned his nickname "The Shark" because of his aggressive play and "great white" (read: blond) hair. Though he never won the Masters -- he came in second three times -- his clothing line, the Greg Norman Collection, is one of the leading golf-inspired sportswear lines. Its logo? A shark, of course.

Britain's Ian Poulter, currently ranked 20th in the world, is as passionate about fashion as he is about golf. "What I wear on and off the course is a huge part of who I am," Poulter said. "I like to be different. I always loved the old pictures of Jack Nicklaus, Payne Stewart and Johnny Miller with the flares, big collars, tartans, no pleat trousers. I thought they were cool. And they still are. My clothes make me feel good." Poulter also runs his own clothing brand, IJP Design.
