Jordan Spieth played incredible golf en route to his first career Claret Jug, and what's more, he did it in style.

Major championships are the most important weeks in golf, and if you watched last week's Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, it wasn't hard to see why.

The world-class talent and relatively benign conditions resulted in a big wave of low scores and a memorable Sunday showdown between two of the top names in the game: Jordan Spieth and Matt Kuchar.

Majors attract a lot more eyeballs than your standard PGA Tour event, so apparel sponsors often pull out all the stops to have their players looking sharp. This year's Open was no exception — in fact, a couple of especially bold style choices caught fire on social media, generating the most buzz about men's golf fashion we've seen in ages.

Below, check out some of the most memorable fashion statements from the Open Championship.

Justin Thomas and his classic cardigan and tie combo were the talk of Royal Birkdale on Thursday. The 24-year-old shot an opening round 67.

Check out the full ensemble.

Jason Day had his share of highlights in Southport, but his Air Jordan golf shoes attracted far more attention than his play.

Here's a closer look at the kicks in action.

Eventual champion Jordan Spieth wore a stylish padded vest from Under Armour during his opening round. The Texan won the tournament by three shots.

Rickie Fowler rocked a slick all-navy look during his opening round, and just in case you think he's strayed too far from his Oklahoma State roots, check out the orange piping on his pullover.

Former world No. 1 Adam Scott donned a camel brown sweater on Friday, getting the most out of an underutilized shade.

Rory McIlroy was a perfect match for the Open Championship leaderboards on Sunday, opting for a bright yellow shirt. The four-time major champion fired three rounds in the 60s en route to a T4.

Even with the closing of his clothing line back in March, Ian Poulter still knows how to put together an outfit.

Runner-up Matt Kuchar wore a blue vest for much of the final round, but while Jordan Spieth took nearly 30 minutes to play a shot on the 13th hole, the 39-year-old got cold and broke out his striped sweater.
