Best Men's Golf Shirts 2025
After thorough testing, we take a look at some of the best men's golf shirts currently on the market.
Conor Keenan
The world of golf shirts has changed a lot over the past few years in terms of design, technology, construction and performance. Nowadays, the best men's golf shirts find a way to be comfortable, light, and also look great on the fairways too. Gone are the days where we would have to wear heavy, cumbersome and uninspiring golf attire because most brands now make modern, cutting-edge designs to help us purely focus on our games whilst looking good. New technology has risen to the fore in terms of moisture wicking, comfort and also making sure the swing is unhampered by the shirt. The best models often help with blocking UV rays, provide anti-odor protection, and have a design that will suit different fashion senses.
This is where the selections below come in. From FootJoy to Original Penguin we have tested a lot of shirts and put together this guide on our favorite men's golf shirts that will seek to achieve everything we mentioned above without breaking the bank. Alternatively check out some of our other guides on golf clothing - such as the best women's golf shirts, best golf tops, or the best golf pants.

As Senior E-Commerce Editor here at Golf Monthly, I oversee our arsenal of buying guides - most notably our golf apparel guides! This means I organize our two annual testing days when the entire team come together to test out different apparel which then goes towards making our various apparel buying guides to help our readers make the best informed fashion purchases like the best golf rain jackets, best golf vests or best golf hoodies.
Best Men's Golf Shirts 2025
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Classy styling
+ Matches easily with other layers
- Some will prefer a less technical fabric
The Empire polo from Peter Millar is a very simple, stylish garment that would be a welcome staple in the wardrobe of any golfer. Made from a blend of polyester and spandex, it keeps its shape over time and yet stretches with your body as you swing to prevent any annoying feeling of restriction.
I wore the Sherwood (green) version of this polo and was really pleased with how smart it was. It also looks good with cream or navy-colored trousers. The fit is described as ‘tailored’ and is on the athletic side. However, I didn’t feel it was too snug and would happily wear it both on and off the course.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 4
+ Classic styling
+ Collar is high quality
- More of an athletic fit
The G FORE All Play polo is made with a supersoft stretch knit that is extremely comfortable and stretchy. It’s a joy to play golf in and the simple styling means it can pair with plenty of different outfits across the four different colorways. It fits just as we hoped so would recommend going with your usual size. Additionally I liked the overall fit of the shirt, athletic and not restrictive, and it works well with mid-layers or quarter-zips over the top as well.
The collar is extremely rigid and feels very high quality, while the G FORE embossed buttons are premium, too. UPF 50+ is a welcome feature as well. Overall, it has to be considered as one of the best golf polos you can buy and good value for money considering the quality.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 3
+ Subtle aesthetic
+ Fits very well
- Best suited to a slimmer, athletic fit
For those seeking a polo with an athletic fit, the short-sleeve Reserve Polo from Sun Day Red is a worthy consideration. ‘Created for the clubhouse and beyond’, it comes in three subtle colors and features a versatile, polished aesthetic that works both on and off the golf course in my opinion. A design element that aids this versatility is the only logo visible on the polo is on the back of the neck.
As mentioned, the athletic fit comes from the modern, tailored silhouette which I really liked, and it is comfortable too with a polyester/viscose/elastane blend. It feels soft to the skin and lightweight too, and whilst I usually prefer a three-button polo, the two-buttons here are no issue whatsoever. The price is at the top end of the market but given the versatility, you are basically getting two polos in one here.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 6
+ Fantastic selection of colors
+ Lightweight and breathable
- Collar is quite stiff and loud
Nike polo tops always deliver good performance and this one is no different, the American sporting powerhouse has opted for a contrast collar this season, however, and I have to say it’s a nice change. The colour selection available is also quite abstract, including colours like Cave Purple, which will undoubtedly appeal to those who prefer something a bit more out there than the standard navy polos we see everywhere.
The fit is comfortable, but does come up quite large, which is worth bearing in mind. The only issue I found with this polo was that the collar is very stiff and also quite nosy when moved. Although it wasn’t a massive distraction when playing, it could frustrate golfers who prefer perfect silence during their swing.
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colors: 4 (Teal, Plum, White, Carbon)
+ Stylish graduated print
+ Very stretchy fabric
- Material is a little clingy to the skin
For those seeking a modern, casual look on the course the Go To Rise polo certainly fits the brief. The dotted background design adds plenty of shelf appeal, enhanced by the soft hand feel of the fabric. The material was a little clingy to the skin but there is so much stretch, it doesn’t impede your movement at all when you swing. It works well with layering over the top and it comes in four colors that offer something a little different.
Perfect for summer days on the course, this polo shirt is the perfect beginning to your go-to outfit, coming in at a very respectable price point. Oh and I should mention it shows adidas' continued effort into environmental manufacturing with 74% recycled polyester used in the construction.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 2
+ Exceptionally soft and stretchy
+ Stylish and unique modern design
- Bold print may not be for everyone
The Puma Cloudspun Garden Golf Polo is an excellent choice for golfers who want a modern-classic looking polo. Puma has done an excellent job of creating a polo that blends its eye-catching floral design and its high-quality performance material. The proprietary Cloudspun fabric is incredibly soft against the skin and offers a fantastic four-way stretch, allowing for a full range of motion during your swing. I found the moisture-wicking properties to be top-notch, keeping me cool and comfortable throughout my round. The sewn-in collar stay is a nice touch that keeps you looking sharp. While the print is bold, the polo's comfort and on-course performance are undeniable. It's a versatile piece that feels just as good as it looks, although I would recommend ordering a size up unless you want a fairly tight fitting shirt.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 4 (Grey, Black, White, Navy)
+ Classic, sleek design
+ Comfortable, moisture wicking material
- Deeper 3-button neck line might not be to everyone’s taste
This stylish polo shirt has very quickly become one of my favourite items in the wardrobe, so much so that it rarely spends any time in there. The regularity of its visits to the washing machine is nothing to worry about either, as the easycare fabric looks and feels just as great after ten washes as it did after one. The suave look provides a classic vibe while also feeling very modern. The comfortable, moisture wicking material is also insulated - helping to keep you dry and warm when faced with those colder winter months. This polo pairs perfectly with a quarter zip, hoodie or rain jacket, but when the elements allow I love to keep things simple and let this polo shirt be the solo star it deserves to be.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 5
+ Excellent color options
+ Soft and lightweight
- Creases easily due to fabric
A classic cotton polo, the Gibson polo from B.Draddy is a beautifully soft and lightweight experience. The Peruvian Pima cotton delivers this feather-soft feel, although it’s worth noting it creases relatively easily as a result. It delivers a traditional fit, one that is far from tight fitting like some modern golf polos are, but also one that is a little baggy but doesn’t come close to being ‘boxy’.
It also delivers a good level of stretch, not that it feels like you need it much due to the slightly more baggy fit. Courtesy of the neat color choices that aren’t simply block colors, but rather deliver a soft but classy-looking striped look, this polo is easily worn to the office or smart-casual occasions as well as the golf course.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Athletic fit
+ Very breathable
- Pretty golf-specific design
The Mitchell polo shirt from Galvin Green is a very solid offering from the Swedish brand. The simple block color design works really well, with contrast added with solid stripes added down the back and sides. The athletic design is very flattering and felt snug without ever bunching in awkward areas which is key for on course comfort. In terms of breathability and stretch, the Mitchell is hard to beat.
The construction and premium fabrics deliver not only luxury looks but also five star performance. The shirt was so comfortable at times it felt like I was hardly wearing it, such is its lightweight nature. If you’re a golfer who prioritizes performance without wanting to sacrifice style, then this is a great option. While the color options are fairly limited, Galvin Green have opted for three strong choices that pair up nicely with almost any outfit.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Exceptionally soft and luxurious Peruvian Pima cotton blend
+ Signature tailored fit
- Some may prefer a more structured collar.
The Strickland Shirt is one of the most versatile and premium polo shirts on the market. The incredibly soft and luxurious feel of its Peruvian Pima cotton and elastane blend, offers both a refined comfort and good amount of stretch. This polo is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for comfortable wear on warmer days, while being thick enough to provide ample warmth under a mid-layer on cooler days.
The signature tailored fit from Holderness & Bourne ensures a clean, modern look, allowing it to transition effortlessly from the golf course to various casual and smart-casual settings. The design is enhanced by a subtle chest pocket detail, a vintage applied placket, and a relaxed self-collar that contributes to its versatile, laid-back yet sophisticated aesthetic, although this can blow around a little in the wind. If you want a polo that looks smart on and off of the course, this is by far your best option.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 3
+ Smart and versatile
+ Breathability
- Top end of polo price spectrum
If you haven’t heard of Johnnie-O then I cannot recommend them enough because I have tested pretty much their entire golf range of late, including the excellent Kerwin polo here. Featuring a striped design that I am a big fan of, it comes in three nice colors and I would go as far to say it works both on and off the golf course with ease.
It also has a lightweight and comfortable feel, ideal for those warmer days on the course, and yet it also remains comfortable when paired with more layers as well, so it works in the cold too. Speaking of warmer days, it also has UPF 50 sun protection along with side vents to keep you cool. It stretches nicely and finally, whilst the price is at the top end of the polo market, the versatility means it is a polo you can wear very often.
Sizes: S-3XL
Colors: 10+
+ Excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric
+ UPF 50+ sun protection
- "Loose" fit may not be for everyone
The Under Armour Tee To Green Printed Polo is a polo that should be added to everyone’s rotation, designed for comfort and performance above all else. Its smooth, soft fabric is both anti-pick and anti-pill, ensuring it pulls moisture and sweat and keeps you dry on the course. The built-in UPF 50+ is a huge plus for sunny days on the course and will help protect your skin from the sun. What I loved about this polo the most is the four-way stretch, which allows for complete freedom of movement during the swing, particularly around the back and shoulders. While it has been designed as a "loose" cut fit, I found it to be closer to a more athletic fit. If you're looking for a reliable, high-performance polo that will keep you cool and protected from the sun's rays, the Tee To Green is an excellent choice to add to your wardrobe.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 2
+ Oozes class
+ Beautifully soft
- Fit is on the smaller side
Much like the Kendrick Knitted Zip Sweater we’ve included in our best XXXX guide, the Ruben Knitted Shirt is the perfect polo to pair it with. Beautifully soft and pleasingly stretchy enough to perform well on the golf course, it will likely be a regular in my rotation throughout the year no matter the weather. Made up of 72% viscose/rayon and 28% polyester, it’s the softest polo I’ve ever worn and a nice break from the typically 100% polyester I’m so used to wearing on the course week-to-week.
The JL Navy colorway in particular oozes class, albeit it does fit slightly small, especially on the arms - I’d advise going one size up or if you’re a larger gentleman, maybe two sizes up (trust me).
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 10
+ Incredibly stretchy and comfortable
+ Fantastic selection of colors and prints
- At the top end of the price spectrum
This polo has quickly become an indispensable part of my shirt rotation and I can’t see that changing any time soon. Lululemon is a brand synonymous with activewear and this shirt has clearly been designed by someone who likes to move. The fabric is so stretchy and lightweight you can often forget you are wearing anything at all.
The simple navy colourway that I own is perfect for not only golf, but tennis and any other outbound pursuit you may be undertaking. Lululemon also offers the shirt in a wide variety of colours and patterns so there should be something to suit everyone’s taste. Comfortable, stylish, lightweight and easy to care for, the Logo Sport ticks almost every box. At £78 this shirt is on the expensive end of the spectrum but it will be a worthy investment.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 13
+ Super lightweight
+ Comfortable, regular fit
- If you prefer more structure to your polo
When wearing the TravisMathew Heater Polo and you’ll immediately feel the premium, ridiculously soft fabric - it’s honestly so comfortable, you’ll forget you’re wearing a collared shirt. This isn't just for golf; the quick-drying, moisture-wicking blend makes it ideal for frantic grocery runs or even tackling home chores.
The tailored fit ensures there’s no ballooning material, meaning you won’t look like you borrowed your dad's shirt, while the smart, laid-back styling ensures you can wear it easily away from the course without looking like you’re trying too hard. This polo is perfect for the golfer who believes your comfort level should match your confidence level, ensuring you stay cool, dry, and stylish whether you’re shooting 75 or 105.
Sizes: S-3XL
Colors: 2
+ Bold statement
+ Comfortable and stretchy material
- Loud design not for everyone
If you’re wanting to make a bold statement on the course, then the look no further than the Callawy Crab Novelty polo. The Galaxy Blue version I tested features a cast of pink crabs which will certainly turn heads in any clubhouse. It’s made using a 56% polyester, 30% recycled polyester and 14% elastane material which is lightweight and stretchy, making it very comfortable to wear.
The Callaway Opti-Dri moisture management system is designed to keep you fresh and dry throughout your round and it certainly lived up to that on a reasonably hot day. It features a three-button placket with an embroidered chevron logo and a Callaway Contrast Tour logo on the on right sleeve, but these are both slightly overpowered by the design. This polo won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but it will certainly get you noticed.
Sizes: S-3XL
Colors: 2
+ Lovely fit that isn’t too tight but not too baggy either
+ Easily styled for both on and off-course wear
- Long sleeve design not for all
A super stylish, soft and stretchy long sleeve polo. The Kent LS Polo ticks every box you want for a quality polo, especially those that can be worn all 12 months of the year (unless it gets too hot). The fabric feels very premium but works beautifully on the course - soft, lightweight, and stretchy, yet structured enough to hold its shape throughout the day.
It's a wonderful tailored fit without being too tight or baggy, paired with a collar that is firm and stays in place even after washing. Only three color options may come as a disappointment to some, but we loved the Olive color which paired perfectly with chinos on the golf course and jeans off the course.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 4
+ Simple and fashionable
+ High-quality fabric
- Quite short in the body
Pull on the Malbon Fairway Baldwin Polo and you’ll immediately feel the comfortable stretch of the moisture-wicking material, designed to keep you feeling fresh under pressure. The fabric has a substantial, quality weight to it without ever feeling restrictive, allowing for a completely free golf swing. The styling is instantly recognizable and fashion-forward, blending a slightly retro look with modern tailoring, meaning it can be worn easily away from the course.
It opts for a traditional two-button placket and a self-collar, prioritizing classic, simple elegance over flashy graphics or logos. This polo is perfect for the golfer who views golf apparel as part of their everyday wardrobe and wants premium quality coupled with a signature, trend-setting look. The comfort and distinctive styling make it a standout staple for any serious golfer.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 4
+ Colorful and characterful
+ Comfortable and stretchy
- All-over patterns are never universally popular
Penguin clothing is fantastic for those who want to show some personality on the golf course, with the All-Over Lifesaver polo proving a great option for those who fall more on the flamboyant side of conventional. All-over prints are becoming increasingly popular as outside-the-ropes fashion works itself onto the fairways.
Here, you can choose from two bright and summery options that both work with a range of outfits. The All-Over Lifesaver polo is lightweight, flexible and stretchy and the moisture-wicking properties will keep you cool and stylish in the hotter months. It’s also machine washable and available in a wide range of sizes, although a couple of additional colour options wouldn’t go amiss.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 5
+ Comfortable fit
+ Easy care
- Style won’t appeal to everyone
Ping has opted for a mainly blue color range with its Julian polo shirt, which also comes in an equally smart silver and a white. Three of these, including the one pictured, are a brush stroke camo design, which is best described as a statement style - not for everyone, maybe, but very on trend. If you want to add a bit of personality and stand out a little, this is the polo shirt for you.
The mini flag design, which is available in white, also catches the eye. It’s hard to fault the performance with features including stretch properties, crease resistant, and quick dry. It’s extremely light and cool, and the fact that it dries so quickly means you can wear it in light showers and not feel uncomfortable.
Sizes: XS-3XL
Colors: 8
+ Extremely soft and comfortable
+ Great amount of stretch
- Tight fit
The Reflo Yamuna is a high quality polo shirt that is incredibly soft and comfortable to wear. It has a great amount of stretch thanks to its 100% recycled polyester make-up and is a fantastic hot weather shirt that works well for golf, tennis and other activities. We found it to offer up a slightly tight fit so would recommend going up a size if you’re usually in between or prefer or slightly baggier fit.
The subtle patter on the shirt is striking and has a slight ribbed feel when you brush your hands over it. This polo comes in an impressive eight different color options and sizes all the way from XS-3XL. Overall it has to be considered one of the best golf polo shirts you can buy that is fairly difficult to fault.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Ease of movement
+ Breathable
- Pattern not to all tastes
The Stuburt Bullfinch Polo Shirt is an excellent option for those looking for a new golf polo that stands out. It's comfortable and easy to swing a club in, plus it has moisture-wicking and UF-protection properties, and dries relatively quickly.
The material’s elasticity allows for perfect ease of movement throughout the swing. The shirt is long in the body so it can be tucked into pants or shorts and will stay there throughout the swing. Another plus is that the material does not crease and so can be scrunched up tight in your packing, which makes it a handy item to take on a golf trip.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 8
+ Lightweight & breathable
+ Classic design
- Very long in fit
Next up we have the Bullock Tour polo from Oscar Jacobson, which has a traditional, classic finish available in lots of nice colors. The linear Oscar Jacobson logo on the right sleeve and the traditional logo on the chest, emphasize the classic look of the polo making it a great item for both on and off course.
Lightweight, breathable and comfortable are the three words that spring to mind when wearing this polo. This is because of the polyster-elastane fabric which stretches nicely to encourage freedom of movement, and despite the long fit of the polo, it actually tucks into your golf pants seamlessly. A good budget polo shirt for the traditionalists.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 5
+ Cool/breathable feel
+ Smart/sporty
- Triangle pattern style won’t appeal to all
The Scandi brand has made a big impact in the game, and has developed a reputation for crafting highly technical pieces, especially when it comes to its outerwear range. The Tumble polo shirt features a tone-in-tone all-over print; it's more of a statement polo, although not too bold. It also has a shiny/glossy texture and appearance, which makes it look extra smart, whilst its breathable and stretchy qualities ensures that the wearer will stay comfortable in a range of different weather conditions.
The Atlantic Blue, which features the triangles, is the pick of the colors, with subtle Abacus branding on the right sleeve and rear of the collar. Smart, sporty and just that little bit different, perfect for the golfer looking for something other than that safe option.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 4
+ Classic design, good value
+ Comfortable, moisture wicking material
- Fit might be too casual for some
Golf and cycling clothing isn’t a traditional cross-over, but bear with me. Just after he won the Tour de France and a gold medal at the London Olympics, British cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins teamed up with fashion brand Fred Perry for a Mod-inspired collection that included a light blue polo shirt that Proquip’s Tri-Stripe Collar instantly reminded me of. The good news for Proquip is that while the Wiggins polo was too tight around the armpits and regularly ended up with highly visible sweat patches, the Tri-Stripe’s lightweight and soft pique knit polyester has done a great job of wicking perspiration - and drying quickly - during some warm rounds. My large sample has a reasonably generous, rather than athletic, fit but with flat-stitched seams in areas prone to chafing it does make for a very comfortable shirt. As an added feature it also boasts some UV protection.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 3
+ Clean, classy design.
+ Thin, lightweight material
- A looser fit than some
The first thing you notice about the Ashworth Signature Golfman polo is the soft, lightweight feel. It’s extremely comfortable thanks to the 94% polyester, 6% Spandex material, meaning you can swing freely. The stylish, slightly understated matte-finish design incorporates the brand’s Golfman logo throughout, including on a label on the right sleeve.
The one thing to note is that my medium polo came up slightly larger than some, which wasn’t a problem when tucked in but maybe something to note if you’re on the smaller end of your usual size. The material is moisture-wicking and offers UPF 50+ sun protection so ideal to wear all year round. The three-button neck offers versatility when the temperature is changeable. It’s only available in three colours so if you’re looking for something bright this may not be the option for you.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 2
+ Stylish design
+ Regular fit, not clingy
- Only two color options
The Pinnacle Glow from Castore is a stylish, nicely fitting polo made from a lightweight, stretch fabric that moves effortlessly with your swing and keeps you cool through moisture-wicking tech. The fit is athletic but not clingy in the way many modern golf garments seem to be, so it’s ideal for the larger golfer.
It comes in two color options and while the Bright Orange won’t be to everybody’s tastes, the Midnight Navy option should suit most golfers. The pattern is understated but noticeable and it really enhances the overall look. It’s a polo that can just as easily be worn away from the course as it doesn’t scream “golf shirt”.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Comfortable fit
+ Excellent insulation
- The style and appearance is polarizing
I can confidently say that I’ve never worn a golf polo like Glenmuir’s Portree polo before. Practically, it works incredibly well with the brushed interlock fabric providing a level of insulation which, in milder temperatures, negates the need for a mid-layer. I also found it didn’t interfere with my golf swing in terms of being too restrictive, and I enjoyed the soft texture of the fabric as well as the collar’s anti-curl design.
From an aesthetic point of view, it may divide opinion but that being said it is a lovely shirt for off the course use. Additionally the three smart colors it comes in are all subtle and understated, making it a shirt you could use for a variety of social situations as well.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 2
+ Bold pattern
+ Lightweight, breathable material
- Won’t be to everyone’s taste aesthetically
Lyle and Scott are famous for the clean, classic polo shirt that we have grown accustomed to over the years, but this cheeky little number adds a touch of flair to proceedings. The bold pattern gives an almost retro vibe, which is right up my street. This polo is great for anyone that likes a looser fit, with the stretch, lightweight, breathable material providing ultimate comfort throughout the round.
While some people won’t fancy this one aesthetically, you can’t fault the design as it feels great to wear both on the course and off it. Pairing this with a vest or gilet, or allowing it to take centre stage on its own, the divot polo should be a consideration for your next wardrobe update.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 2
+ Three button design provides good breathability
+ Thicker material helps with temperature control
- Limited color options
I was a fan of the Dynamic Polo, especially as the materials and wicking finish meant it was a warmer designed top than others on the market. Certainly, the thicker blend worked well in the autumn conditions I tested it in, as only a midlayer was needed on top for the majority of the time.
Although it's a thicker construction, the three button design meant breathability was good, as the overall fit was neither too tight or too lose, meaning it was a true fit to size. Like other Mizuno garments, I wish there were more color options available, other than the blue and grey, but if you are after a comfortable, no-nonsense polo top, the Dynamic Polo has a lot of positives going for it.
How we test golf shirts
Our testing ethos for golf apparel, as well as all golf products, revolves around using products properly. This means when we test men's golf shirts we put them to the test out on the golf course to see if the product lives up to the performance promised in relation to comfort, breathability, looks and so on. We also use the polos in different conditions to see how they get on in changing conditions, for example if a polo claims to wick sweat and moisture away, we endeavor to test the garment in hot conditions to see if it works and keeps us cool, breathable and comfortable.
We would also wear the polos 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 shirt
As mentioned, there is a lot to think about when picking the right polo shirt for you. With that in mind, we have come up with several things for you to think about when choosing a golf polo.
Length
During the golf swing if you find your shirt coming untucked often, or your belly starts to show then you should think about a polo with a longer length. That way it will remain tucked in throughout the round and beyond.
Fit
Do you want a more loose fitting polo or something with more of an athletic fit? Slim fit or classic fit? Most brands offer lots of different sizes so be wary of picking something that doesn't fit correctly.
Sleeves
It doesn't sound that important, but a polo with sleeves too long or too short can be annoying. They should come to the middle of the upper arm, and the seam should align with the middle of the shoulders.
Fabric
Have a think about what fabric you would like the polo to be made from. For example, there are loads of materials used these days such as polyester, spandex, lycra, nylon and cotton. Often polos are made with a combination of these.
Technology
Most brands make polo shirts that offer technology to help in a variety of ways. For example, many help with moisture management and sweat wicking which keeps the body dry and comfortable. Some also offer UV protection and anti-microbial properties too, so it is worth thinking about what aspect you find important here. That being said we would recommend going for a model designed with all these facets in mind.
Design
Striped? Floral? An all-over print? Gone are the days of drab boring polo designs and in modern golf most brands really push the boat out. The sheer array of polo shirts we picked out above shows this clearly. Whatever fashion sense you have, there will be a polo for you.
Budget
Of course you always need to think about your budget. Whatever number you decide upon, there will be a model for you, ranging from the top premium models, down to the ones offering excellent value.
Why not pair your golf polo up with a pair of the best golf trousers or one of the best golf sweaters on the market.
FAQs
What shirts do PGA players wear?
PGA players tend to wear shirts from whatever brands they are signed to. For example players like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler wear Nike shirts, Collin Morikawa and Ludvig Aberg wear adidas, and there are some players signed to more niche brands like Adam Scott and Uniqlo or Wyndham Clark and Municipal. We see a lot of players also wearing brands like FootJoy, Peter Millar and Puma.
What is the best material for golf shirts?
From our experience the best material for golf shirts often includes a combination of polyester, spandex, lycra, nylon and cotton. This is because they need to be lightweight, stretchy and breathable.
What brand of shirt is team USA wearing
The US Ryder Cup team apparel will be provided by Ralph Lauren at Bethpage Black in 2025 under their sporting title 'RLX'.
Are Golf Shirts Business Casual?
It depends on the shirt - a lot of golf shirts are designed specifically to be worn both on and off the course with the likes of Holderness & Bourne and B Draddy coming to mind in that department. However, given some of the designs in the list above like the floral Puma shirt are quite outlandish, we wouldn't recommend wearing those to an important meeting or sales pitch at the office.
Are golf polos different than regular polos?
Golf polos are typically more stretchy than regular polo shirts given they are specifically designed for golf. Given most golf is played in the warm summer months, they can often be a little lighter than most polos.
