Best Golf Hoodies 2025
We take a look at some of the best golf hoodies for on and off the course right now


Golf's fashion debate has been stirred up considerably by hoodies starting to make an appearance on the golf course. Tour stars like Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa and Tyrrell Hatton have all worn hoodies in competition and Team USA has even worn hoodies during the Ryder Cup. Therefore hoodies are becoming more visible in golf.
However, there is a balance that must be adhered to when it comes to golf hoodies and thankfully more and more brands are designing garments that not only look good and modern on the golf course, but can be used off it too. Many are also simple and finished in classic colors to make sure they are acceptable in all manner of golf clubs as well. The game of golf is changing and to make sure you be a part of it, below we have taken a look at some of our favorite golf hoodies. Additionally for more buying advice we also recommend taking a look at our guides on the best golf sweaters or best golf waterproofs.
Best Golf Hoodies 2025
The List
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 11
+ Incredibly soft fabric
+ Premium construction
- Can be tricky to maintain
This 3D Tour Cashmere Hoodie is my favorite piece of golf apparel right now. The quality of the construction and the softness of the fabric has to be felt to be believed. It is part of the premium cashmere collection and as a result it has a premium price, but the quality and the performance is worth it in my opinion.
Made with a 3D Knitting process, this eliminates seams and offers key stretch just where I need it. As a result it isn’t restrictive at all and is incredibly comfortable. The feel is also lightweight and breathable but the top gave good warmth as well. The only real negative for me is with a garment of this quality, and the cashmere construction, it means I have to be very careful with its use, especially when it comes to washing it.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 4
+ Off-course versatility
+ Simple, classic styling
- Some will prefer a more sporty look
As you’d expect from Peter Millar, this hoodie offers a beautifully luxurious feel. The fabric is soft and lightweight which makes it incredibly comfortable to wear. The downside here is that it might not be the warmest golf hoodie on the market but it can easily be worn with other layers.
I tested the deep verdant (dark green) colorway and loved the versatility of being able to wear this off the course with jeans and on the course with a variety of different colored trousers. It offers a classic fit and is relatively stretchy so it shouldn’t restrict your golf swing. Worth pointing out here is that there are no pockets - I like this as it reduces bulkiness. This is the perfect option for those after a smart-casual golf look as well as an extra hoodie for off-course wear.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Impressive thermal qualities
+ Versatile styling
- No water protection
This is arguably one of the most versatile pieces in Adidas’ autumn winter range. A hoodie that looks perfectly at home on or off the course, it did a great job at keeping out those off-season chills. Having anorak in the name is somewhat misleading as it doesn’t feature any water repellency, but it does boast an adjustable hood and a single jersey lining for a soft, comfortable fit. For proper rain protection I would recommend checking our best golf rain jackets guide instead.
The fit was spot on and the elasticated cuffs ensure the sleeves don’t move excessively as you swing. Overall, a very pleasant mid layer to wear that is idea for those cool, dry days on the course.
Sizes: S-XL
Colors: 2
+ Fabric and fit are absolutely superb
+ Small but excellent color choices
- Lacks any pockets
Thanks to Rory McIlroy’s grand slam triumph at Augusta National earlier this year, Nike’s golf stock is seriously on the rise and the Tour Dri-Fit hoodie is one of the best pieces from the brand’s collection. Soft, stretchy, stylish and incredibly comfortable, this hoodie ticks almost every single box there is to tick. The discreet Nike branding on the sleeve is an inspired decision, while the color options available are both beautifully refined.
If I had one small quibble it would be that there are no pockets, however the lack of one does make the design that bit cleaner. I’m 6 '1 and typically wear a large, however this particular hoodie does come up quite long, so it might be worth opting for a size down if you prefer a more athletic fit.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 5
+ Plenty of color options
+ Thin material works great in range of conditions
- Fit is slightly smaller
Hoodies are growing in popularity and, when it comes to the CloudSpun Tech Golf Hoodie, you have a model with plenty of stretch and comfort from the Cloudspun fabric. Like other Puma apparel, it has 4-way stretch, so freedom of movement isn't a problem, with the moisture-wicking material also working well in a range of conditions.
One slight negative is that the fit does come up slightly tight, so I would recommend going up a size. Although it does come up slightly smaller, the stretch helps and, because the material is thin, it can be worn in summer or as an underlayer in winter. What's more, two well placed pockets on the front provide ample storage for golf balls, tees etc, and they can even be zipped up to keep everything secure.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: Five
+ Extremely comfortable
+ Can be worn in everyday life
- Quite thin so layers underneath can be visible
The G FORE Brushed Back Tech Hoodie is a premium and lightweight garment that is extremely comfortable, functional and stretchy. It is made with a ‘Terry’ fabric that is high quality and very soft to wear while it has a great amount of stretch to easily play golf in. Due to how comfortable and minimalistic it is we think it will get a lot of wear away from the course so the premium price tag is fully justified. It has UV protection built in to keep you safe from the sun and also has both moisture wicking and odor inhibiting properties. It also has two zips for one big pocket to store any essentials and overall is just a stunning piece. The Brushed Back Tech Hoodie comes in five colorways and we’d recommend ordering your usual size.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 3
+ Premium hoodie that is one of the softest I’ve ever worn
+ Kangaroo pocket not intrusive
- Extra care is needed when washing
Premium, premium, premium. The Finnooch hoodie was a joy to test, not just because of how high quality the garment felt, but how soft and comfortable it felt while out on the course. Made from 100% Zegna Baruffa Wool, it delivers a fit that hugs your body without being intrusive and restrictive, instead delivering a stretch that you’ll appreciate as you swing.
The ribbed cuffs are another thing I appreciated while playing as I typically like to roll my sleeves up before each swing, meaning the sleeves stayed in place and didn’t intrude. This isn’t a hoodie you can throw into the rest of your wash and put into the washing machine at a higher temperature, but the extra care needed is worth it for how high the quality is here.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 3
+ Supreme warmth and comfort
+ Soft, flexible material for movement
- Two-color ribbed finish not for all
As many of you might know, I am a huge fan of the Remmy hoodie from Johnnie-O but I have actually gone with the Werner model from the latest range instead for this guide. Featuring a kind of hiking style aesthetic, it may divide opinion because of the two-color ribbed effect, but I must admit it really is growing on me. It helps being probably the most comfortable hoodie I’ve tested in a long time with the softness of the fabric making it wearable all day, regardless of activity. This fabric is also stretchy and flexible for athletic movements and I found it to be very warm as well so will be ideal for colder rounds. I really like the combination of the half-zip with the hood making it easy to put on or take off, and the magnetic pockets are a design feature worth mentioning as well. An outstanding hoodie.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 1
+ Refined style
+ Incredibly lightweight
- Warmer mid-layers available
Innovation in golf fashion has come a long way and this is demonstrated perfectly by the Penguin Earl Performance golf hoodie, which unfortunately is only available in one color, quiet gray heather. While some would prefer more weight to a golf hoodie, this garment does provide impressive warmth given how light it is. It’s actually hard to convey just how little it weighs and how small it folds up in your golf bag, which are two very attractive features.
While it’s not the warmest hoodie out there, it keeps the cold at bay impressively given its design characteristics. It looks stylish and is versatile – it can work as a second layer on a slightly cool summer’s day or as part of a three- or four-layer set-up in colder conditions. You don’t have to worry about any form of swing restriction and it’s comfortable, too.
Sizes: S-3XL
Colors: 14
+ Versatile and looks great
+ Lightweight and loads of colors
- Slim fitting over chest - might not suit all body types
This hoodie is perfect for those that enjoy pulling something on before a round of golf or for a gym session that they can put away quickly and get on with the activity that they are doing. It's modern, lightweight and goes with pretty much everything, even a pair of jeans. I went for the white/grey heather color but there are a total of 14 different colorways which is great for those that are particularly picky on colors to go with their sports clothing or golf bag. And there is a full zip model tested here, as well as a non-zip version as well.
Some features that i like about this hoodie are that it is water repellent, it’s stretchy so can be worn over a polo shirt or even a base-layer and not feel restrictive. The kangaroo pockets are very large, as you’d expect, which means you can easily fit phones and keys in when you are doing your training or even scorecards for your golf round. The Tyson hoodie is a no brainer and you wont be disappointed.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Great waterproof capabilities
+ Hood provides additional protection from elements
- Not overly warm
This hoodie is perfect for golfers who want something reliable and simple to reach for when conditions take a turn for the worse. The four-way stretch is extremely lightweight, breathable and waterproof - making it a great option to put on over a polo shirt, jumper or vest to add another layer of protection. Besides its functional features, the garment also looks fantastic.
The adjustable waterproof hood along with the sleek chest and hand zippers give this item a premium look while also offering practical solutions that can help to keep you out on the golf course for longer. The overlapping hem construction reduces the bulk that is sometimes felt with additional layers, meaning you can swing freely and play your best stuff. I’ve got the Solar/Basalt colourway, which I would certainly recommend for golfers who want to stand out from the crowd.
Sizes: S-3XL
Colors: 3
+ Well thought out design
+ Soft, thermal construction provides great temperature control
- Limited color options
I've always enjoyed wearing a good golf hoodie and the Oakways II is no exception, as it's a comfortable, lightweight option that is perfectly suited to the autumn and winter conditions.
The main standout for me is how well thought the design is. Featuring two deep front pockets, it has elasticated adjustable hood drawcords that control how tight or loose you want the hood. What it also means is that you don't get the issue that you do with toggles, where they drop and dangle when you address the ball. It also has a soft and thermal feel and, although there are limited color options, I think the dark colorways suit and compliment the style very well. It does feature in a slim fit so, if you're stuck between sizes, I'd recommend going up.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Extremely stylish
+ Warm yet mobile
- Sizes come up slightly small
Hoodies are very much on trend in the world of golf, especially on the global professional tours, where their use has skyrocketed in recent times. If you’re looking to follow in the footsteps of the game’s best and add something new to your wardrobe, the Sunderland Atlas hoodie should be on your shortlist. It’s a really impressive garment, boasting both warming and stretch qualities. You feel stylish and smart as you stride the fairways, with the color accents adding a dash of personality. Heat is sealed in via the cuffs and hems, the lock-down quarter-zip and the hooded collar, and the kangaroo pocket is a perfect pouch for your hands between shots. There’s also a water-repellent finish to protect you from light showers.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 4
+ Noticeably stretchy
+ Versatile for off course
- Drawstrings could be distracting
You ideally want a golf hoodie that looks as much at home away from the course as it does on it and the Wanderlust from TravisMathew fits that billing perfectly. Not only is it built with four-way stretch to help golfers swing unimpeded, but it has a versatile design that makes it fit in almost anywhere.
Despite the material being quite thin it was surprisingly warm in testing and the full zip design provides options as to how you wear it, open or closed. It does come up on the big side so you might want to consider going down a size here if you tend to be in between sizes.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 7
+ Lightweight and easy to pack as an extra layer
+ Stretchy material perfect for golf and other sports
- Not a huge fan of the logo
Bad Birdie’s QZ fabric delivers a lightweight, stretchy and extremely comfortable hoodie that is perfect for golf or other activities like hiking or gym work. It folds up nice and small, meaning it’s an easy extra layer to bring out onto the golf course if the temperature is lower than you’d prefer.
The simplicity of the design also means it can be worn easily off the course, albeit it might not be formal enough to wear in certain places compared to other hoodies in this guide. As an avid golfer myself, I am familiar with the Bad Birdie logo, but those less familiar with the brand thought I was wearing a twitter-branded hoodie, which is the only small critique I can make about this hoodie.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 2
+ Good stretch on offer
+ Well insulated
- A few loose threads upon arrival
The Drive Midlayer Hoodie is an excellent piece that provides a little extra warmth on those chilly mornings or evenings without being too bulky or heavy. The 4-way stretch material used throughout Under Armour's 'Drive' range helps make this hoodie tailor made for golf - it kept us warm whilst providing plenty of room for both comfort and space to swing the club.
Once you put it on, you'll immediately feel the soft fabric and the comfort that comes with it. We tested this hoodie on both colder and warmer days to see if it worked well on both and unsurprisingly it won't excellently in both. Material wicks sweat but also dries very fast as we found after getting caught in an unexpected spring shower. It's also slick enough to be worn seamlessly off the golf course as well.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 2
+ Water-repellent
+ Provides decent warmth
- Cuffs slightly baggy
With golf hoodies becoming more popular, we’re starting to see apparel brands introduce different types, whilst the quality is getting better, too. You wouldn’t recognize this as a golf hoodie – it has a designer label look about it. It’s soft and stretchy, perfect for golf, and provides a good amount of warmth without making you feel too hot in autumn/winter conditions. The only golfing detail is a little loop on the front that you can thread the drawstrings through, which you might want to use when you’re putting. The fact that the fabric is water-repellent is also a big plus. You wouldn’t want to wear this top in heavy rain, but it can still be worn when there’s a bit of moisture in the air.
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colors: 12
+ Soft and thick fabric
+ Versatile for everywhere
- Perhaps more for autumn/winter golf
Due to the thick, soft and comfortable fabric, I would say the Steady State Pullover Hoodie is best for autumn/winter golf, or a good layer to throw on for colder mornings and evenings on the links. It has a cozy fleece lining which feels lovely on the skin, offering a touch of warmth, whilst the cotton and recycled polyester blend felt breathable too.
It has a roomy fit and I think the overall design lends itself to versatility. I am confident the simple aesthetic and comfort makes this a hoodie for use on and off the golf course and there are as many as 12 colors to choose from. I admit the aesthetic won’t be for all and you may get a look or two at some golf clubs, but golf fashion is changing for the better and there is no reason why this hoodie wouldn’t work on the course.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 5
+ Soft, warm feel
+ Light and stretchy material
- Zip a little awkward
There can’t be many golf hoodies that are as light and stretchy as Ping’s quarter zip Nexa. Despite being so light, it has a lovely soft fleece lining which offers a lot of warmth, making it ideal for chilly temperatures. Meanwhile, the water resistant finish makes it suitable to wear in light rain, a useful attribute in changeable conditions. In terms of the styling, the contrast woven chest panel adds a refined texture, and there is a choice of five very difficult color combinations. The one pictured has earthy tones and sleek black detailing. If you really want to stand out this winter, take a look at the sulphur - very bold. The Ping Eye logo that features on the right shoulder and Eye mark logo on the back shoulder are nice additional touches.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Simple clean design
+ Provides plenty of warmth
- Lack of color options
The Donnie is a perfect golf staple that everyone should have in their wardrobe. The simple design makes it easy to build an outfit around, while the versatility and performance it delivers means it can be worn year round. Made from Galvin Green’s INSULA mid layer fabric, the hoodie does a fantastic job of retaining warmth, while still providing enough breathability for warmer rounds. The soft fabric feels great against your skin, while the elasticated cuffs and hem ensure an athletic fit without excess fabric getting in the way of your swing. While the design is perhaps a little on the safe side, it does mean that it can be worn for any activity without being clearly designed for golf. Built with performance in mind, this hoodie is a top pick and one that will deliver whatever the weather.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Wrinkle-free material is a huge plus point
+ Breathable and comfortable
- Lack of pockets is mildly frustrating
If you have enough self-confidence to buy the Sunday Swagger Performance hoodie in its ‘Brisk’ color, then it may be your new favorite purchase. The stand-out hoodie is really comfortable and looks amazing, although its lack of pockets is slightly annoying. Having said that, the wrinkle-free material is an awesome feature and I found it to work well in all weather conditions - when it rained lightly, the Performance hoodie kept me warm and dry, although you may want to invest in a proper rain jacket if the heavens really open.
When worn just over a Sunday Swagger polo, it was more than breathable for me and was all I really needed to feel comfortable on the course. The Sunday Swagger Performance hoodie fits really well in all areas, too, allowing you to swing freely and not be bothered by the hood which sits in place when down and fits over a cap if worn up.
Sizes: 46-58
Colors: 4
+ Beautiful texture
+ Stretchy and lightweight
- Material suffered from pulls after first wear
A lightweight hoodie that oozes class, the Kallen Hooded Midlayer from Kjus ticks the boxes I look for when shopping for pullovers. The sand-washed piqué fabric is a joy to wear and made this one of the comfiest hoodies I've ever worn. The understated but clean design also means this piece can be worn seamlessly both on and off the golf course and I'd go as far as to say it's so versatile it can be worn to the gym and/or the pub on a Saturday night.
It perfects the blend of softness and stretch to compliment the golf swing and not leave you feeling restricted during your round. It's worth noting that a number of pulls did appear early on during my wear of this hoodie however but thankfully not in very noticeable areas.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 4
+ Windproof and water repellent
+ Looks good off course
- Can’t tighten/adjust
Is it a hoodie or is it a sweater? It’s actually kind of both - and it’s undoubtedly one of the best pieces in the Swedish brand’s autumn/winter 2025 collection. There are lots of different types of golf hoodies on the market; this one actually has more of the feel of a lightweight jacket. Soft and flexible, it’s very comfortable to wear on the course, and it also looks smart and sporty off it.
If you do go for the steel blue color, you might want to avoid carrying a golf bag, for you risk marking the white front. It’s best to try it on, too, because the medium comes up a little short length-wise. You can’t adjust the fit, which is a shame because if you’re slim, you might find it a little baggy around the body.
Sizes: S-3XL
Colors: 4
+ Ease of movement
+ Lightweight warmth
- Not for wet days
The Stuburt Grouse Hoodie is excellent for dry days. The hoodie is soft, comfortable and, made from a blend of 92% polyester and 8% elastane, it is flexible, so easy to swing in. The fabric provides superb warmth from such a lightweight garment. The hood itself itself is large but does not impede the view throughout the swing or when following the path of the ball. It has two deep pockets at the front for thrusting your hands into rather than storing items in.
On a wet day, we tested the hoodie underneath a good waterproof top: the hoodie was soaked through by the end of the round – the rain seemed to be drawn down through the garment from the hood. It is not a particularly quick-drying garment either.
How we test golf apparel
We test golf apparel in the same way we test all golf equipment, by using products properly. In relation to hoodies this means putting them to the test out on the golf course to see if the design is well thought out, if the garment interferes with the swing in any way, and simply if the hoodie is actually usable. We would also wear the hoodies off the golf course as well because versatility to use a garment anywhere is a great way to get value for money. The final point we wanted to mention here is no manufacturer can pay for a good review because our thorough testing team tells it how it is. In fact speaking of testing team, the entire Golf Monthly team are regular golfers and to test the wide range of brands we utilize the entire team as well as organize specific testing days for spring/summer collections, as well as autumn/winter ones.
How to choose a golf hoodie
There are several factors to consider when it comes to buying a golf hoodie and here we have listed them.
Design
What we mean here is what kind of hoodie design are you after? Do you want a hoodie to keep you warm in the winter months or one that stretches and acts more as a kind of mid-layer? Do you want a design that can be used anywhere, or a smart offering that would work at any golf club? Understanding this and knowing what you are after will therefore narrow your search nicely.
Material
Linking with the above point, knowing what you are after will help you decide what material to go for. The fleece models above will keep the cold at bay whilst ones with more spandex in them will help you move easier and won't restrict the golf swing in any way. Additionally we have found the models with cotton in them are often the best for wearing out and about as well, and they are very easy to wash.
Movement
One of the big things around hoodies is freedom of movement and whether they can restrict or negatively impact the swing. The hood flying around is a common point made by people. As such, we would recommend trying on models and taking swings in them to see if you still offer the same range of movement, and to see if the hood impedes the swing or your eyesight.
Looks
This is an important factor to consider. Do you want to stand out or just have a more understated look? We think there is something for everyone above.
Versatility
Do you want to be able to use the hoodie anywhere from the golf course to the bar to at home? This is an important factor if you want to get more for your money.
Budget
Finally be aware of your budget so you can find a hoodie that fits into it nicely. Importantly there are models above which come with premium, and value price points so there is something for everyone.

FAQs
Can you wear a hoodie for golf?
The simple answer here is yes. Golf is changing and more brands are making subtle, versatile hoodies that can be used as a layer for golf, and then be used to transition to the clubhouse and beyond. As long as the hoodie doesn't negatively impact the swing, why shouldn't a hoodie be worn on the golf course?
What makes hoodies so great are the range of designs you can get - they can literally fit into any situation. There are smart models that feel like a sweater, comfortable hoodies that would work watching television at home, or even athletic styles made with high-tech fabrics.
