Jason Dufner, PGA Golfer

Jason Dufner has a reputation for not only being one of the most chilled-out guys on Tour, but also as one of the funniest. (Remember when "Dufnering" took the internet by storm?) That sense of humor has been on full display over the past year with some of his hat selections during tournament rounds. Duf is currently without a long-term hat sponsor, so he's been showcasing some unique headwear of late.
