Best Golf Hoodies 2024

Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 2

+ Perfect for warming up in /range time
+ Super light and stretchy
- Small chest pocket is fiddly 

The Sun Hoodie from FootJoy is extremely light and easy to pack away in your bag – and it’s a sportier, more athletic garment compared to the traditional hoodies that you might wear day to day. It is very much a spring/summer garment – it’s not going to offer you a great deal of warmth in the winter. However, for those chilly mornings or cool early evenings on the fairways, this layer is a really convenient option. The four-way stretch fabric ensures that you can swing a club without feeling at all restricted, and because it’s so light it provides just the right amount of warmth to keep you from feeling as though you need something heavier. We also really liked how it can be used off the golf course as well.

+ Lightweight and versatile design
+ No drawstring to get in the way  
- Warmer models out there 

This hoodie from the Adicross division of Adidas is ideal for on and off-course wear. The hoodie has become a near staple of golf fashion and this lightweight example from Adidas ticks all the boxes. The materials are lightweight as is the hoodie, providing that perfect midlayer option for a chilly day on the golf course. With this in mind, it certainly won’t do the job of a more thermal midlayer at keeping the wind and the chill out, so this hoodie is definitely just for the chill fall or spring afternoon rather than for deep winter. 

While the anti-three-putt message certainly suggests golf, we think this is easily worn off-course as a fashionable, statement hoodie. With bold yellow or blue options as well as classic black, this is an excellent hoodie that embraces the future of golf fashion.

+ Understated but stylish design
+ Moisture wicking   
-  No pockets   

Made with added stretch fabric for maximum mobility, this hooded quarter zip mid layer from G/FORE is an ideal garment to wear under a jacket or gilet in the winter, while also providing an excellent option over a polo for those cooler evenings or autumn days when you need something light to keep out the chill. 

We were impressed with the comfort factor and the stretch qualities, while the moisture wicking properties make this an ideal item to have in your golf bag regardless of the time of year. The lack of pockets is a slight drawback but not an issue when paired with the excellent G/FORE Repeller Gilet.

+ Premium, soft fabrics
+ Subtle but stylish branding
- Not as wind resistant as other hoodies  

The premium, soft to the touch and moisture-wicking Cloudspin fabric is the real stand out on this premium golf hoodie. It makes for a hoodie that fits really nicely while being cosy and warm, even if it's not as wind resistant as some golf hoodies. We liked the subtle but stylish ‘P’ branding which itself has a furry, fleece effect which we think really stands out. 

The front kangaroo pocket is useful for carrying light accessories like tees and ball makers while the cuffed wrists means it doesn’t get in the way while you’re playing golf. Some golf hoodies have drawstrings that are far too long and get in the way as you address the golf ball, but Puma has been clever here to make sure that’s not the case here.

+ Extremely comfortable and lightweight
+ Smart design can be worn on and off the course
- Material does have a tendency to crease

We've always been fans of a good golf hoodie and, with the Playoff Hoodie from Under Armour, that's exactly what you get, as it looks very smart and is extremely comfortable when out on the course. Constructed from anti-pick, anti-pill fabric, we found there to be no restriction of movement in the swing and, throughout the round, it was barely noticeable we were even wearing it, such was the lightweight nature.

With multiple colors to choose from, there should be something for everyone but, admittedly, the material  does crease, which stood out on the silt/black model we tested. Along with the colors, there are small details, such as the Under Armour branding on the shoulders, which only boost and enhance the shelf-appeal of the hoodie further.

+ Lightweight so layering easy
+ A smarter look than some hoodies
- Choose other options if warmth is your main goal

One of the main aims of hoodies outside golf is often cosiness, but that’s not the primary goal here, with the Pine Performance acting as a mid-layer - so warm enough some days, but not on others when an extra layer of some kind will be required. It has become a firm favorite worn under the Peter Millar All Course gilet, which has proved the ideal combination on those slightly fresher spring mornings. 

The hood is fitted rather than adjustable, so even though there are no drawcords, its ‘fittedness’ and slight elasticity mean it should stay nicely in place, depending on head size, of course! It looks really smart too, so much so that it would be hard to see even the staunchest of the game’s old guard being offended by this example of this modern golf fashion trend.

Sizes: XS-2XL

+ Extremely comfortable
+ High quality feel   
- Arms are slightly baggy   

I love a good golf hoodie and, with the Neoprene Hoodie, it is no exception, with the apparel extremely comfortable and, what's more, you can wear it off the course, as well as on it. As mentioned, the comfort is the stand-out, as the viscose, elastane & polyester blend provides incredible stretch throughout the golf swing. For me, personally, I think the arms are slightly baggy but, aside from that, the freedom it allows you is incredible. 

What I also liked was the fact that there were no draw strings on the front. This may sound odd, but it meant there were no distractions as you swung, with the hood itself staying still, another big benefit.

+ Extremely comfortable
+Can be worn away from the course
- Zipper can get stuck on the jumper

The golf hoodie has become a staple in the wardrobe of many players around the world, and this excellent offering from Nike is one you should certainly consider adding yours. The Nike Dri-FIT Hoodie comes in three colors and is one of the most comfortable pieces of golf clothing we’ve had the pleasure of testing. It is made of a polyester that is extremely soft to the touch. It is so lightweight that you barely feel like you’re wearing a jumper. It also packs a ton of technology, including Nike’s innovative Dri-FIT system, that moves sweat away from your skin to help you stay cool and dry when wearing the hoodie and boasts a very relaxed fit.

+ Premium, fleece materials
+ Concealed zipper pocket
- Drawstrings are quite long 

This hoodie is made using premium brushed fleece materials that use partly recycled polyester and premium cotton. There is a kangaroo pouch for things like your phone or other golf accessories while a concealed zippered pocket on the side is ideal for keys or other valuables. 

We loved the ‘Dead Golfer’ logo on the chest and it’s certainly one of the trendier hoodies we’ve tested. The heavier materials probably lend this hoodie to be worn more off the golf course than on it,  but this has quickly become a part of on-course and post-round attire.

+ Lightweight and versatile
+ Stretchy material
- Lack of zip makes it harder to slip on and off 

The Bounce waterproof hoodie is perfect for spring and summer when the temperature is still changeable and the threat of rain hangs over you. It’s made from a four-way stretch waterproof fabric that meant swinging a club was no problem at all. The hood is lightweight but not as flappy as some in the wind and so didn’t put me off on the course. 

The stretchy material makes it easy to slip on and off, although the lack of zip may mean some would prefer a more traditional waterproof, especially if the rain is coming and going. The three-layer material means the waterproof protection was great in light rain but if it really starts to come down you may need something thicker. It’s warm but would need to be paired with at least two other layers if the temperature drops. It’s highly breathable and so suited to a warm but wet day, rather than something to wear throughout the year.

+ Extremely versatile
+ Encased elastic sleeves
- The light hood can be irritating

TravisMathew has certainly delivered on the brief when producing a versatile hoodie that has all the performance benefits of premium golf attire but looks just as good worn away from the golf course as it does on it. While this jacket may not provide the same warmth as some of the other best golf hoodie’s it is extremely lightweight and is perfect for those early morning tee times and the pockets encased on the front are easily accessible to keep your hands warm. 

The four-way stretch gives you good mobility when swinging and while there is very little to grumble about with this hoodie, I would say the lightweight hood can be a little irritating, particularly in windy conditions. With both black and blue color options, these hoodies can be paired with any outfit.

+ Super stylish, versatile design
+ Allows you to swing freely     
- Pull cords could distract     

This pullover hoodie may look just as much at home away from the course as it does on it, but its high-tech design will certainly equip you to perform with a golf club in your hand. Specifically, the breathable Insula fabric which undoubtedly enhances the comfort but taking the chill away on cooler outings. The fit is certainly snug, so not allowing for many other layers underneath, yet it manages not to restrict because the material is so thin and stretchy. The two pull cords come tied in a knot and we’d recommend keeping them that way so as to not distract you over the all, although untied they’re not excessively long. The stylish design makes this hoodie super versatile, although the design is certainly eye catching for all the right reasons.

+ Wind and water-resistant
+ Quilted, insulated torso lining    
- Hood fits slightly tight around the head   

This jacket hoodie hybrid fills the gap nicely as a performance hoodie and a water-resistant golf jacket. It is built with core warmth and wind protection in mind with PrimaLoft insulation in the chest and upper back body areas of the garment helping you maintain body heat in colder conditions. It’s also treated with a water-resistant finish to wick away water in light showers or drizzle, but don’t expect this jacket to protect you in a full rain storm. While the hood was a little tight when worn up, it’s a nice fit that will also work to keep you dry in a quick rain shower. The stretch binding on the hem and the cuffs is a nice detail too and adds to the overall comfortable fit.

+ Provides great comfort and warmth
+ Looks great everywhere
- Athletic fit that runs fairly small

The Macade Range Tour Hoodie may just be the most versatile golf hoodie on the market. The stylish aesthetics and athletic fit make this a great offering to be worn away from the course and the off-white coloring works well with the neutral tones of the detailing. 

The large hood and drawstrings held down well and didn’t get in the way of my swing like some other hoodies do which was a real bonus of this item. The soft material was extremely comfortable and enabled me to swing freely without any restriction thanks to the stretch on offer. An item seriously worth the price tag if you’re after a hoodie that looks good on the course and wherever you head after.

+ Comfortable soft feel
+ Versatility
- Fluff/lint can stick to fabric

I enjoy playing golf in hoodies and one of my top picks on the market right now is the Textured Knit Hoodie from Original Penguin. Available in two great looking colors, Black Iris and Pearl Grey, I’ve actually used this hoodie as much off the golf course as on it, which to me, is a big plus point. The textured fabric feels soft on the skin, comfortable, and offers some degree of warmth on those mild or chilly days. But it isn’t so thick that it would be too hot on warmer days either, I think it strikes the right balance here. The only negative is the fabric design means it is easy for fluff or lint to stick to the fabric which can be annoying to remove. But this is only a minor point on a hoodie I really like.

+ Stylish, premium design
+ Protects from wind and light rain   
-  Material could be softer  

This thin, lightweight and slim-fitting hoodie is designed more with golf performance in mind over off-course versatility. The material incorporates four way stretch, which means it won’t restrict your range of motion when you swing, plus it is also wind and water resistant. 

In fact, water beads off the surface surprisingly well, leaving no trace behind. We like the way the drawstring of the hood has been concealed inside to avoid any hanging cords that could distract as well as the open hand pockets at the front. Stylish and sophisticated, this technical garment is ideal for the serious golfer seeking a more casual look. 

Sizes: S-XXXL

+ Warm and thick
+ Excellent styling
- Size up at least one size

Our tester is usually an XL in every Oscar Jacobson product that he has tested but, in the XL of this Hoodie, it was just far too small. Luckily, an XXL was sent our way and this fitted very nicely. 

The design is fantastic, and there are some excellent flourishes on the garment, especially the stand-out debossed Oscar Jacobson wording on the hood itself. Two spacious pockets at the front are perfect for diving your hands into on a cold day. The elasticated cuffs and the stretchy polyester/elastane material mean it is very comfortable to swing in. A stand out offering from Oscar Jacobson, well worth considering but check sizing.

+ Subtle detailing for premium look
+ Fitted look without feeling restrictive
- Looks could be improved by removing drawstrings

The TravisMathew Coastal Cloud hoodie is ridiculously soft and has the versatility to be worn anywhere. The super soft material can keep you warm on breezy days but it is also breathable too for those warmer ones.

The look of the Coastal Cloud hoodie is clean and premium, with a subtle TravisMathew logo in small print across the chest and kangaroo pocket across the front. Additionally there are several cool, versatile colors to choose from as well. While it’s certainly one of the more expensive golf hoodies, the quality and comfort will have you wanting to wear it everyday.

+ Stand out with the bold design
+ Warm but lightweight
- Tight fit across the shoulder blades

This is a really interesting garment that offers a stylish and trendy option for those looking for a good windproof outer layer this autumn and winter. The padded sections of the jacket will catch the eye, which the quarter zip along with zipped pockets means that there are not many gaps for cool air to enter. The hood is an interesting addition, whether it will be something that is used very often is questionable, and indeed when we tested it with the hood up it did make us slightly restricted in our swing.

+  Extremely versatile soft,
+ Comfortable material
- Drawstrings proved to be annoying when swinging

The Sink It Hoodie is the perfect item for those who like to blend golf apparel and streetwear. This comfortable, lightweight hoodie is perfect for popping out on the course and hitting the bar after without looking out of place at either location. The drawstrings are handy to tighten the hood, but can distract during swings.

The kangaroo pocket was handy to keep my hands warm when the wind was blowing, but does add a bit of bulk. While this hoodie would keep you warm in mild temperatures, you would need to wear a golf jacket or outer-layer over the top when the temperature drops. 

Size: S-2XL

+ Incredibly versatile
+ Premium materials throughout
- Pocket is not very secure

Slightly tweaked from the previous model, we were really impressed with the Lapter from Reflo. It has a relocated logo and new drawstrings, but otherwise it keeps that beautifully subtle design perfect for on and off the golf course. It has plenty of sizes and the two colors look great everywhere. 

That it's made using some of the most sustainable practices and materials in the whole golf industry is a huge added bonus with the performance and quality being the stand out features. The pocket is a tad limited but this is only a minor complaint.
