Even though South African professional golfers<\/a> may enjoy their braaivleis and fishing, it doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re not on par with some of the cutting-edge style coming out of the global game.<\/p>\n

And this season the sartorial stakes are being raised with the presence of a new sponsor on the Vodacom Origins of Golf<\/a> series that has caught the attention of the style conscious golfers on the circuit.<\/p>\n

The Italian luxury goods company Bulgari<\/a> has decided to replace the scent of freshly-mown fairways with something a bit more bold as they\u2019ve partnered their famous fragrances with this local professional series of six tournaments, by far the biggest on the Sunshine Tour.<\/p>\n

And for the likes of professional Ross Wellington, it\u2019s couldn\u2019t have come at a better time. Wellington has launched his own clothing line, Rosco Clothing, this season to meet a growing demand amongst South African professionals for a balance between style and functionality.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth African golfers like to be different. Our players generally try and look good on the course,\u201d says Wellington, who has been dabbling in design for most of his life.<\/p>\n
