Rory McIlroy has worn baggy golf trousers at the DP World India Championship, taking inspiration from teammate Tommy Fleetwood.

Rory McIlroy has worn baggy golf trousers at the DP World India Championship in New Delhi, drawing inspiration from Ryder Cup teammate Tommy Fleetwood. McIlroy said he has 'watched and admired' Fleetwood over the past year and noted that in his everyday life, when not in his golf uniform, he wears wide-legged trousers because they are fashionable.

Speaking on the DP World Locker Room show, McIlroy acknowledged the fit needed improvement. 'These hit a little low, maybe a little short,' he said, noting that the trousers are 'a work in progress'. He described them as not as well-fitting as they could be.

Beyond the fashion choice, McIlroy is also working on building a replica of a 'performance trailer' used for fitness and recovery during PGA Tour events, aiming to gain an advantage on the European tour. He drew inspiration for the project from tennis player Novak Djokovic and golfer Justin Rose.
