Best Golf Hoodies: Quick Menu

Golf's fashion debate has been stirred up considerably by hoodies starting to make an appearance on the golf course. Tyrrell Hatton for example won the 2020 BMW PGA Championship in a hoodie. Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas have been spotted wearing hoodies in competition and even the USA Ryder Cup team has worn a hoodie during play as well. 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.

The List

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. 

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.
