At all

Jeans may work well for casual events like going out with friends but might not be appropriate at an upscale club such as the PGA Championship. For more formal occasions, consider wearing slacks or khakis instead of jeans. Ultimately it is up to you what you wear to a golf event – just make sure that it's appropriate.
Believe it or not, there is also a dress code for golf spectators. Female spectators tend to wear comfortable flat or tennis sneakers, shorts or skorts, a sundress, or a wide edge hat.

While PGA Tour golfers can wear shorts in pro-am rounds or practice sessions, they are expected to wear trousers during actual tournaments. In fact, oddly enough, allowing shorts on the golf course was one of the things that the LIV Golf bragged about as it was establishing itself as a breakaway league.
The PGA tour's policy says that players must wear pants in competitive rounds. This policy has changed in 1999 when the PGA tour allowed players to wear shorts in practice rounds and pro-am events.
But you may be wondering: What does the “LIV” in LIV Golf stand for anyway? Maybe to your surprise, “LIV” isn't an acronym. Instead, it's the Roman numeral for the number 54, as NBC Sports reports. The outlet explains each LIV Golf tournament will have 54 holes, 18 fewer than a typical PGA event.
