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
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: 2
+ Soft and comfortable
+ Great away from the course
- Not the warmest
Any time you get a garment that looks the part as much away from the course as it does on it, you always feel like you’re getting extra value for money and that is certainly the case with the Pine Sugar Stripe Performance hoodie.
The thing that stands out here aside from the visual appeal is the stretch in the material, which enhances the playability as a golf top by allowing you to swing with freedom.
The fit isn’t as tight as with some other Peter Millar pieces, which may well suit those looking for a little more room. Other hoodies may offer more warmth on colder outings, but if you embrace the hoodie trend you’d be hard pressed to find a more versatile offering than this.
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-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: 4
+ Extremely comfortable and soft material
+ Very versatile and could be worn away from the course
- Some may not love the tighter fit
G/FORE continues to produce golf clothing that has the versatility unmatched by almost any other brand. This stylish Brushed Back Tech hoodie is the perfect example of this. Extremely soft and comfortable this hoodie is made from premium fabric and features a modern/athletic fit. While this may not be to everyone's taste it does make this golf hoodie very versatile giving it a smarter look that would look great paired with some shorts or jeans away from the course. Two side zippers open to form one larger pouch pocket, although there’s feeling this would work better as two separate pockets. The four neutral colors on offer stray slightly away from the bold colorways we often see from G/FORE but some of the fine details on this hoodie still add just a dash of color.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 2
+ Provides warmth and comfort.
+ Versatile for on and off-course wear
- More layers needed for cold
You will immediately notice the soft, cosy feel of its double-knit fabric, designed to offer warmth without bulk as soon as you slip on this hoodie. The material incorporates COLD.RDY technology to help retain heat in cooler temperatures, while still allowing for a good range of motion essential for your swing, thanks to its stretch construction. You will need extra layers in much colder temperatures but the fitted hood offers extra protection against the elements when needed, and the banded cuffs and hem ensure a snug, comfortable fit that stays in place.
This piece will work best when it's used as a layering piece if the temperature really plummets such as with a vest or lightweight jacket. The modern, athletic design that is made up of recycled materials makes it a stylish choice that transitions seamlessly from the course to casual wear.
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-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: S-XXL
Colors: 2
+ Lightweight but warm
+ Stretchy material for excellent mobility
- Hood feels a little small
The Ceb hoodie is a great addition to any golfer's wardrobe, with its lightweight material making it comfortable and versatile. Whether you need another layer on an early spring morning or protection against the elements when conditions take a turn for the worse, you won’t be let down in terms of warmth with this particular hoodie.
The design and colourways of this garment make it perfect for use both on and off the course, offering the classic style we have come to expect from the Ping apparel range. A shaped hood removes any concern about interference in the golf swing, even if it does feel a little on the snug side. The stretchy material offers excellent mobility throughout, allowing you to focus on your next shot in style and comfort.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 2
+ Fashionable, sporty look
+ Impressive warmth
- Relatively thick if you are looking for a lighter option
The B Draddy Andy Hoodie is a seriously smart hoodie that will work just as well on the course this winter as off it. As soon as you touch it you can feel it is well made and the soft quilted material provides exceptional comfort. The fabric is fairly thick but also flexible when working with your golf swing and provides excellent freedom of movement. The fit is absolutely as I would want it, not too fitted to feel clingy, but certainly not so loose that excess material will get in your way. With a base layer underneath, this hoodie will provide you with plenty of warmth to get you through the coldest winter days. The two neutral color options make this a genuinely viable option to wear away from the golf course and can be paired with just about anything.
Size: S-2XL
Color: 4
+ Stylish comfortable lightweight
+ Works well with other garments
- Only if you don't like hoodies!
I’m the occasional wearer of Hoodies, my collection is minimal and mostly made up of heavier materials which I find ideal for those cold Winter shoots. The Remmy however opens up a host of new wearing opportunities! Possibly the best sweatshirt material ever, the French Terry gives a 4 way stretch performance making it the most comfortable hoodie pullover in my collection. The lightweight feel of this garment is perfect for all year round wearability, the simple design and 4 color choices makes it a top that is enviable with both golfers and non golfers alike. I’m enjoying the small details like the split tail, discreet raised surfer dude logo on the sleeve and this works with other layers too such as golf vests.
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- 3XL
Colors: 4
+ Simple, versatile design
+ Lightweight but offers good warmth
- Some will prefer a slightly baggier fit
There is no shortage of spring-summer golf hoodies to choose from and this one from FootJoy certainly catches the eye. The overall fit is athletic and there’s not a lot of excess fabric to get in the way as you swing - a big plus versus some of the other golf specific options on the market.
The fabrics has a rough texture which adds to the modern look and there’s a very thin, ribbed design that’s hard to pick up on from the images. For the price, you get a versatile garment that you can wear on the course and even to the gym.
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-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Extremely classy piece
+ Genuine on/off course versatility
- Some will prefer performance fabric
Pull on the Oscar Jacobson Kennedy Lightweight Knitted Hoodie and you'll soon notice the luxurious softness of its fine-gauge knit. This isn't your average hoodie; it's crafted from a performance blend that's both lightweight and breathable, keeping you comfortable without weighing you down. The moisture-wicking properties efficiently draw sweat away from your skin, ensuring you stay dry, even during the most intense rounds.
While not designed for extreme cold, it layers beautifully, as with so much of the Oscar Jacobson range. Practical details include a comfortable hood and discreet front pockets for your essentials. This hoodie is perfect for the golfer who values comfort, performance, and understated style. It's a versatile piece that elevates your on-course look while keeping you feeling fresh and ready to play.
Sizes: S- 2XL
Colors: 5
+ Simple design with some smart modern detail
+ Provides plenty of warmth
- Draw string can be distracting as you play
For those golfers in search of a hoodie to be worn on and off the course, Zero Restriction’s TKO is an excellent choice. Firstly, the styling is very simple which makes it very versatile as it can be worn with a range of different colours as well as trousers or shorts. There is a touch of additional colour from the drawstrings (which admittedly can be a little distracting as you play).
There is plenty of warmth on offer here without it being too heavy or bulky which makes it ideal for year-round golf. There are two front pockets which are best for putting your hands into when it is cold, rather than for storing any extra items. The fabric around the forearms sits fairly snug, protecting against any snagging as you swing.
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-3XL
Colors: 3
+ 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.
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: S-3XL
Colors: 2
+ Incredibly light
+ Waterproof
- Not that warm
I absolutely love this Lanark Stretch Windhoodie, and I'd be lying if I said I hadn't stopped wearing it. Hoodies have become increasingly popular in golf over the last few years, and this lightweight piece gives it a unique twist. Its block colors and all-over transparent pattern print give off an incredibly modern look. I'm guilty of wearing it away from the golf course.
The side pockets with zippers, elastic binding at the sleeve end, and bottom hem enhance its fully secure and comfortable fit, giving it that modern feel. Although it's not your typical golf hoodie and not ideal for cold conditions, its fully waterproof feature makes it the perfect lightweight hoodie for a warm rainy day.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 2
+ Very light, stretchy feel
+ Eco-friendly natural bamboo fibers
- Quite a cold feel to the fabric
When you’re thinking of wearing a hoodie, the idea of extra warmth will often come into your thoughts, but that is not really the goal here, with the Soft Tech Hoodie using a blend of natural bamboo with Spandex and cotton to create a distinctive feel and fabric weight. That said, this garment is most certainly stretchy, and that’s never a bad thing when swinging a golf club.
It sit towards the lighter end of the hoodie sector in terms of feel, weight and the warmth potentially on offer, but we think we’ll get quite a lot of wear out of this during the main season. From a style perspective, the jury is out over the little grey front panel around the neckline in the black hoodie, but it looks much more at home on the grey version.
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.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 5
+ Subtle and classy appearance
+ Zip-up pockets add to fantastic practicality
- Material might not be to everyone’s taste
This is one of my favorite products from the brand and such an easy piece of clothing to write a review of. For a start, the Flex Lifestyle Hoodie looks great and has been worn several times away from the course in its limited existence in my hands. Possibly its biggest green flag, however, is that I didn’t find the short hood drawcords annoying in terms of getting in my eyeline while looking down. I also wasn’t bothered by the actual hood swinging around behind me, either. It’s sturdy enough to remain in position but adjustable to be comfortable. I think the overall quality and practicality of the Castore Flex Lifestyle Hoodie - chief of which pertains to the amazing waterproof zip-up pockets - makes it a near faultless garment.
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. For more buying advice in golf apparel, or products to protect from the elements read our guide on the best golf rain jackets and best golf rain pants.
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.
