The British Open, with its time-honored settings and dramatic changes in weather, brings out the most versatile and elegant of golfing clothes. Woody Hochswender, Golf.com's style guru, takes you on a guided tour. From left, Johnny Laidlay, runner up in the 1893 Open, wears plus fours and tweed jacket; Jack Nicklaus tees off with a real “wood” at St. Andrews in 1978; and Tiger Woods in a windbreaker at St. Andrews in 2000.
