LIV Golf players have transitioned from their signature shorts to wearing pants, as confirmed by former player and current broadcaster Pat Perez. This change, revealed on the league's podcast "Fairway to Heaven," marks a significant shift in LIV Golf's traditionally relaxed dress code. The alteration was first observed during the fourth season's opening event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, although no official announcement or explanation has been provided by LIV Golf.

Perez further emphasized the permanence of this new dress code, stating that players would adhere to wearing pants throughout the entire year. Despite the noticeable transformation, the reasoning behind LIV Golf's decision to adopt this more formal attire remains undisclosed. The change aligns more closely with the PGA Tour's longstanding policy of prohibiting shorts.

The decision to implement this dress code at the start of the season, during the event in Riyadh, represents a departure from LIV Golf's usual laid-back look. The organization has yet to clarify whether this change is part of a broader strategy or influenced by any specific event or tournament.
LIV Golf is currently navigating through its 13-event regular season, which will culminate in the team championship this fall. The adoption of pants as standard attire is now set to become a defining feature of the league's image throughout this period.
