Choosing a Golf Hoodie

As golf becomes a more athletic sport and apparel brands focus on fashionable leisure wear, the image of what a golfer should look like is evolving. One of the latest trends has been hoodies, which have been popularised by tour pros such as Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton and Justin Thomas. However, the idea of wearing a hoodie during play has divided opinion.

Some argue that hoodies should be reserved for casual wear and not worn on the course, while others say the right garment can keep you warm and comfortable without impeding your swing. The fact is that many golfers will need to layer up during the winter, and a hoodie offers a lightweight, convenient way of doing so. It is also a garment that can be worn as an outer-layer in the spring and summer, or as part of a mid-layer in cold weather.

The best golf hoodies are designed with performance in mind. This means they are crafted from fabrics that are moisture-wicking to help you feel dry and cool, while also offering stretch so that you can move freely on the course without feeling constricted. The hoodies featured here are also made from windproof materials to keep you shielded from the elements, and some offer UV protection as well.

Whether you are looking for a golf hoodie that is lightweight, fitted or loose-fitting, there is an option to suit your needs and budget in our extensive range. The top-selling adidas golf hoodie, for example, is available in a variety of colours and has a drawstring hood for added warmth. The kangaroo pocket and tonal striping adds to the style, while the zipper side pockets are ideal for holding your valuables.

A more budget-friendly option is this men’s Nike golf hoodie. It has a relaxed fit that will flatter the figure, while the ribbed cuffs and hem ensures the garment will stay in place during your round. The hood is lined for extra comfort and the kangaroo pocket will keep your hands warm between shots.

Another hoodie in our collection is this grey golf hoodie from Original Penguin, which has been endorsed by 2022 Open Champion Cameron Smith. It is made from a fleece fabric that provides insulation and warmth, while the elastine in the design makes it flexible and easy to swing. The hoodie is also water-resistant, which is useful if you get caught out in the rain.

This men’s golf hoodie from Galvin Green is another high-performance garment that is ideal for a range of situations. It is designed to be a mid-layer and can be worn over a short-sleeve shirt or t-shirt on warmer days, or as an outer-layer in the winter. It is a lightweight design that will not hinder your swing, and it features a full-zip so that you can easily put the garment on or take it off as required if the temperature changes. The hoodie is also windproof and comes with a drawstring to cinch in the waist for a more secure fit.
