'Spieth For President' shirts turn heads at PGA Championship
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. — Drew Doshier and David Missal thought the shirts would be a good way for their group from Sioux Falls, S.D., to stand out at the PGA Championship this week.
Did they ever.
Reading "Spieth For President" on the front and containing the crossed out names of candidates like Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on the back, the shirts garnered their group of six plenty of attention at Whistling Straits.
"We just wanted to have a little fun by coming down here," Doshier said.
The shirts drew plenty of attention from fellow golf fans, and the group even gave away a few extras to people who expressed a particular affection for them. One reporter from Golf Digest snapped a pic of them on Saturday, which led to a decent amount of viral fame in the golf blogosphere.
Of course, a few golf fans pointed out that while Spieth may be good at golf, the U.S. Constitution would prohibit his running until 2028, when he turns 35 years old.
"All the people saying that have no sense of humor," Doshier said.
In addition to Doshier and Missal, the shirts were worn by two father and son duos: Stan and Jon Emerson and Gary and Ben Jensen.
Given the success of the shirts, does the group wish they'd brought a box to sell?
"We didn't want to run into copyright problems," Missal said. "We wanted to respect Jordan and his family. This was just a fun thing."
