‘Best’ is an interesting word because, of course, when it comes to looks and style everything ultimately comes down to personal taste and preference. One man’s cracking hairstyle is another man’s absolute no-no.
You might regard Tommy Fleetwood’s long flowing locks as some kind of free-spirit statement that breaks with golfing convention; equally, you might view them as straggly and unkempt.

Often ‘best’ equates to ‘biggest’ in many people’s eyes when it comes to hair in the men’s pro game as it is the bigger styles that catch the eye and cause a bit of a stir.
