FANS were left baffled after golfer Louis De Jager played topless with his trousers unbuttoned.
The South African ace was playing at the Soudal Open as he landed near a hazard on hole 13 in Belgium.
De Jager, 37, decided to avoid taking a drop and play the shot, however he had to get ready first.
He bizarrely removed his shirt and unbuttoned his trousers before playing the ball.
One commentator asked: “Is this really necessary?’
While his co-commentator explained: “Well he does not want to get mud on his shirt.”
De Jager took his shot and reaped the rewards for his risk taking as he looked happy himself and got a cheer from the audience.
The world No306’s actions went viral on social media with many fans left baffled.
One questioned: “Not sure what purpose the undone belt buckle is serving here??”
A second posted: “This is what peak performance looks like – deal with it hatooors.”
It was not hot out there, but that hardly stopped golfer Louis de Jager from nearly taking off all his clothes.
The South African player, 37, doffed his shirt and unbuckled his pants to play through the 13th hole after his ball landed on the muddy shore of a pond at the DP World Tour’s Soudal Open in Schilde, Belgium on Friday, May 24.
De Jager’s strategy — seemingly more about saving his outfit than retaining his dignity — was not lost on the commentators, who hilariously shared their own opinions.
“The shirt’s off, the belt’s undone. Is this really necessary?” a broadcaster asked his partner. Tje other analyst then replied, “He obviously doesn’t want to get mud on his shirt, so yes.”
