Best Golf Sweaters 2025

Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 4

+ Comfortable and warm
+ Unique logo and look
- Weightier than other models

Part of the new range in 2025, the Icon Midweight Stitch Crew Sweater looks fantastic in all of the four colors it comes in and I have become a big fan of the unique Sun Day Red logo on the front. Constructed with a mix of cotton and polyester, it has a premium feel to it thanks to the brushed surface and Chain-stitch logo. It feels very comfortable on the skin and does have more of a weight to it than other models in this guide, but I actually liked this.

This weight added to the feeling of warmth and yet stretch was ample, whilst breathability was good as well. The little details worked here too, especially the hem, cuff and collar designs because there seemed to be a touch more stretch in these areas, which is exactly where I needed it.

+ Soft, warm and comfortable for those colder days
+ Looks incredible both on and off course
- A wider range of colors would make this item more versatile

After receiving a sample of this Crew Jumper from Under Armour, I immediately knew it was the top for me. It fits amazingly well, it looks great both on and off the course, and the super-soft stretchable material provides warmth and comfort. Additionally this fabric helps wick sweat away nicely when the heat ramps up and the pressure kicks in, and I did notice in testing how fast the fabric dried.

The stretchy material means you don’t have to compromise on mobility in your golf swing, allowing you to play your best golf and look great doing it. This is a must-have item for any style-conscious golfer.

+ Soft, warm and comfortable
+ Versatile design for on and off course use
- Would prefer a quarter zip

This may have a half-zip design but the fleece construction makes this Peter Millar top a worthy inclusion in this best golf sweaters guide. Fleeces have taken a bit of a step back compared to performance fabrics of late but this model feels brilliantly soft and warm, whilst I felt it was lightweight and stretchy as well. I also really liked the two zippered pockets too.

But for me the main benefit to this top is its versatility. I have literally used it everywhere both out on the golf course and off it too because it works in a variety of social situations. There are four colors to choose from, all of which are understated and can be paired with other golf pants or shorts easily. A top performer indeed.

+ Soft, stretchy fabric
+ Modern, elevated style
- Printed design may not suit all

This sweatshirt has been designed for comfortable wear and unrestricted movement on the course, not interfering with your swing. It serves as an excellent layering piece for those transitional weather days, shutting out a light chill without being overly bulky.

The subtle all-over print adds a touch of modern style synonymous with Adidas and differentiates it from a plain sweatshirt. It’s made with a significant percentage of recycled materials, which is a key factor in a large part of Adidas golf clothing. While it's a versatile mid-layer, golfers playing in cold conditions might need to pair it with something more substantial for adequate warmth, however the quarter-zip and stand-up collar allow for adjustable coverage, making this a stylish and practical addition to any golfer's wardrobe.

+ Lovely soft feel
+ Leather zip adds quality touch
- Not made specifically for golf

Whilst not a pullover designed solely for out and out golf performance, Mizzen+Main's KPI Quarter Zip should be in the conversation for the most versatile piece in this guide. I tested the Cornflower Heather colorway and absolutely adored it - it nailed the classy look without being too brash, instead delivering a slick look that was complimented by immense levels of comfort.

Eight colorways are available for you to choose from on a product that can easily be worn to work in the morning, to the golf course in the afternoon and to a fancy restaurant in the evening time with ease.

The fit is a roomy one which is enjoyable during the swing, but with no fitted sleeves it did leave the jumper a little loose around the wrist area. Fear not though, it's nothing a little roll up of the sleeves can't fix.

+ Ease of movement
+ Lightweight warmth
- Sleeves on the shortish side

The Stuburt Crane Crew Neck Pullover is excellent for wearing on the course. Made of 60% polyester, 36% cotton and 4% elastane, its elasticity allows for easy easy of movement throughout the swing and does not ride up when playing a shot. The soft fabric is comfortable against bare arms and is breathable thus providing suitable warmth without the golfer sweating up.

There are raised seams on each shoulder. The Stuburt logo on the left sleeve when combined with another one at the back of the neck does rather mark this item out as an item of sporting wear.

So this jumper maybe not suitable to wear in all settings. Not for the clubhouse dining room perhaps, for example, especially as the sleeves come up a tad short for those long in the arm.

+ Premium look and fit
+ Warm fleece lining
- Not overly versatile

The FootJoy Space Dye Thermal Chill-Out is one of the most stylish and well fitting pieces of apparel I have tested this year. The mid-layer fit is not overly athletic, but still slim around the arms with a little more room around the shoulders and back.

The heathered grey colorway adds a modern touch to an otherwise traditional looking half-zip. The fleece lining is exceptionally comfortable and warm.

Even on the coldest days on the course, you won’t need much more than this midlayer on top of your polo shirt. There are definitely more versatile mid layers on the market but this premium and classic looking sweater will be hard to beat for the golfing purist.

+ Sporty looks
+ Provides decent warmth
+ Stretchy qualities
- Not waterproof/water repellent

Next up we have the Hex Fleece from Callaway. As already mentioned, fleece material isn't used as much as performance fabrics these days because they can be thick and bulky but this model isn't.

This sweater manages to keep you warm without being excessively thick, and the material is really stretchy. An adjustable toggle hem also makes it possible for you to find your perfect fit.

It gets its name from the hex textured outer (lots of mini hexagons). Together with the embroidered Tour logo on the right sleeve, it gives this garment a very smart and sporty look. This is the ideal top to wear in colder conditions, over a polo and/or base layer. It won’t protect you from the rain, but it’s sure to get a lot of use regardless.

+ Eye-catching design
+ Really high-quality construction
- A little short in the body

As soon as you pull this crewneck on you are stuck by the quality of the fabric and how well the garment has been constructed. Although there isn’t much stretch to it, the fit is generous enough to provide good freedom of movement throughout the swing, and the eye-catching floral pattern will certainly draw some attention. The drawstring at the waist provides some genuine adjustability and allows you to customize the fit to your liking.

The Macade branding is present, but subtle which I really enjoyed, and makes it a versatile piece that can be worn just as easily off-course as on. The super smooth polyester/spandex combination made for a very quiet, non-intrusive swing experience.

+ Soft, comfortable fabric
+ Useful kangaroo pocket
- Boxier fit

This was the first time we’d tested B. Draddy apparel and we were suitably impressed with the quality of materials and design of this relatively new brand. The fabric is a mixture of French Terry knit and Peruvian Prima Cotton, providing the kind of stretch and softness you’d expect from a premium garment. The kangaroo pocket on the front has been sewn into the garment rather than on top of it - which is somewhat unique as it’s rare to see kangaroo pockets on crewneck styles like this.

The fit isn’t as ‘performance’ as other mid-layers on the market but that likely adds to this stylish crewneck’s versatility on and off the golf course. The Russ is available in five colors, some understated and others brighter and bolder so you have a good variety to choose from.

Sizes: S-XXXL

+ Stylish and versatile
+ Flexible and comfortable
- Only one color choice

Penguin has a reputation for producing some of the more jazzy, colorful and out-there garments on the market today, but this sweatshirt proves the brand can more than hold its own when it comes to the more conventional, too. It’s a very smart and stylish garment, and while it’s a shame it’s only available in one color option, the gray that has been chosen is both refined and versatile. It’s a perfect jumper for those mild autumn and spring days, or when the sun sets in summer, and the range of motion it provides is exceptional. Indeed, it has added stretch built in, the moisture wicking fabric will keep your temperature well regulated and it's machine washable, too.

Sizes: XS - XXL

+ Plenty of stretch across back and shoulders
+ Minimalist design is very smart
- Limited colors

The Overlay 1/4 Zip combines Lyle & Scott's Merino wool blend for the body and synthetic material panelling for the chest and shoulders to create a really smart and stylish piece. In testing, the main stand-out was the stretch, specifically around the shoulders and back, which allowed for plenty of freedom of movement.

For me, personally, I felt the sleeves were slightly baggy but, when pushed up the forearm, they did seem to keep in place throughout. What's more, the 1/4 Zip design meant that the temperature and breathability was exceptional, with the overall look suggesting it could be worn both on and off the course.
