Best Golf Shirts
1. Footjoy Lisle Feeder Stripe
Check Latest Price
The Footjoy ProDry Fabric offers extreme comfort throughout the golf swing with virtually no wrinkling.
In addition, the Lisle Feeder shirt offers much needed UV sun protection, which is fantastic. Another point to note is the anti-microbial finish that inhibits odor build-up when sweating out on the course.
The only issues we found were that the sleeves are a fraction too long and then each of the sizes runs a tad big. So if in doubt between two sizes then definitely go for the smaller of the two. That’ll fit like a proper golf shirt should.
Available in 8 different colors and has had positive feedback all round. Slightly more than average polo price, but certainly doesn’t dip in the value department. Footjoy have been around for decades and know what they are doing. This style epitomizes that fact.

2. Adidas 3-Stripes Polo Shirt
Check Latest Price
Adidas have always been a massive player in the golf industry, but their style and particularly the fit has improved significantly over the last five years or so.
The 3-Stripes Polo shirt is a simple yet powerful shirt available in 10 different solid color options. The Climacool technology is a fixed given and provides zonal ventilation throughout the shirt for cooling comfort. Not to mention how lightweight the shirt is – absolutely superb.
When wearing it you can hardly feel anything over the upper part of your body. The sleeves are the perfect length and angled very slightly upwards enhancing the look of your biceps.
The right sleeve has three horizontal Adidas stripes and on the back yolk there is a slightly raised Adidas “badge of sport” heatseal. Sporty, but classy at the same time.
The 3-Stripes Polo is priced up around $60 at retail and if you can get your hands on one for anything cheaper than that then don’t miss out. You’ll likely be an Adidas convert from here on!

3. PUMA Golf 2019 Men's Rotation Polo
Check Latest Price
The dryCELL technology in the Rotation Polo will keep you comfortable and dry out on the course. One thing is for sure, you’re going to be spoilt for choice with the 11 different colours available.
It's a basic lightweight polo with moisture wicking fabric that helps to draw sweat away from the skin to keep you dry all day long.
The fit is slightly wider in the shoulders, sleeves and chest area to give you maximum comfort and movement for your swing!

Cons
4. Under Armour Coldblack Tempo
Check Latest Price
The Under Armour Coldblack Tempo have embraced the slightly looser fit to enhance comfort and playability.
The revolutionary coldblack technology reflects heat rays making wearing even a black shirt much cooler than you’re used to. At only 6.5 ounces it weighs next to nothing and that makes it really comfortable. The 7% elastane improves the stretchyness slightly providing world class comfort. Under Armour have made their mark on the golfing scene with a big number of players now donning their clothing. And that number is only going to keep growing, it’s just that good a product.
Great value for money coming in at less than the likes of Nike and Adidas so you won’t be disappointed on that front.

5. Lacoste Classic Pique
Check Latest Price
You are thinking European, you’re thinking Miguel-Angel Jimenez. You think Lacoste. You are dead right!
The Lacoste Classic Pique is a classic polo that has stood the test of time and still is one of our favorites. This particular polo has over 40 different colors to choose from and fits like a polo shirt should fit. Not baggy or wide, but fitted. Yet still loose enough to feel exceptionally comfortable.
It is 100% cotton and has ribbed collar and armbands. Perfect for summer and whether you’re on the golf course or having a smart casual event to attend – this polo is perfect.
The numerical sizing is a bit confusing, but do a little research beforehand or even try go fit one or two at nearest retailer that stocks Lacoste. Once you’ve worked out correct number sizing then from there you will never forget it.
Priced up between $60 – $75 it’s a slightly expensive purchase that likely won’t last long due to the fabric and also fading in sunlight if you wear too often. But it is classy and that crocodile logo is so powerful.
Pros
Cons
6. Nike Momentum Fly Sphere Graphic
Check Latest Price
The Nike Momentum Fly Sphere Graphic is a slim fit polo that is only suited to slim golfers obviously – don’t take a hold of this one if you’re donning a serious belly.
A breathable design with a fast drying fabric that provides superb comfort throughout your round.

Golf Shirts - Buyers Guide
1. Comfort
Golf is one of those sports you play in any weather conditions – mostly in the heat though. So it is vitally important that you take advantage of technological advancements and opt for golf shirts that are going to allow maximum comfort.
You need to feel as cool as possible. You need to feel as flexible and free as possible. And ideally the fabric needs to be as lightweight as possible.
All these factors will allow you to focus purely on your game rather than the discomfort and irritation of an outdated and ‘tired’ golf shirt.
2. Style
The first player that comes to mind when thinking basic style is Adam Scott. Besides his ideal athletic build, he always wears great fitting shirts that really make him look like a professional.
The sizing is correct at the sleeve where the bottom of the sleeve doesn’t reach his elbow. The shoulder seam runs along his actual shoulder rather than halfway down his arm.
There is enough breathing space around his core, but then again isn’t too much where it looks like he’s inherited a large mate’s shirt and just wears it anyway.
Again – don’t follow Johnson Wagner in choice and fit of a golf shirt. He literally drowns in every shirt he wears and is very outdated. Adam Scott is the style icon!
3. Value for Money
Quality comes at a price unfortunately. But don’t let that get you down and prevent you from buying a couple of quality pieces.
Wait until the time is right or even until the end of summer where manufacturers are discontinuing certain lines or just trying to move stock heading into winter. Then you’re going to get superb quality at a much better price.
But in principle stick to the big players in sport and primarily the golf industry and opt for their golf shirts.
They’ve had the money to test over and over and over again until satisfied with results before production and you won’t benefit by choosing a lesser known brand only because they are cheaper.
