Luke Combs draws criticism for golf attire on Scotland's Old Course

Country singer Luke Combs played two sold‑out concerts at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium before traveling to St Andrews, where he was photographed playing a round on the historic Old Course. He wore a hoodie, shorts, a cap and shoes described by some observers as trainers, prompting criticism from the golfing community for violating the traditional dress code that expects collared shirts and appropriate footwear.

Fans noted the singer’s extended stay in Scotland, recalling that the Murrayfield shows featured surprise appearances by Scottish figures including football captain John McGinn, actor Sam Heughan and actor Richard Rankin. While some fans congratulated Combs on his visit, many online commenters called his outfit “embarrassing” and warned that non‑celebrity players would likely be turned away for similar attire.
