Our 12 favorite golf hats for the summer of 2025
Need protection from the sun? Going bald? Have great hair but want to hide your bed head? You're come to the right place. There are many uses for a hat, but at this point, hats are also just part of the uniform for golfers, and there are thousands of different models from hundreds of brands. It can be a pain to sort through. But don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are our 12 favorite hats you can sport on the golf course this summer. Adidas - Tour Five-Panel Hat The Adidas Tour Five-Panel Hat is offered in five colors and maintains a slightly retro style that is certain to go with any outfit you decide to don on the golf course. Its snapback closure allows for adjustable fitting and it's made with Adidas' signature composition of at least 50 percent recycled materials, too. Original Penguin - Core Ventilated Golf Cap Orginial Penguin takes breathability to the next level with its Core Ventilated Golf Cap. This one is perfect for the hottest of hot summer days, with literal holes in the sides, back, and front to keep your head cool for the entire round. It comes in five different colors and features an adjustable snapback and the brand's classic penguin logo. Peter Millar - Golf On The Rocks Performance Hat Nothing goes together quite like a nice beverage after (or during) a long day on the golf course. Peter Millar asks you to embrace that marriage with its Golf On The Rocks Performance Hat, with a playful design depicting a golf ball and flagstick inside a cocktail glass. Plus, its elastic loop closure offers even more adjustability than a traditional snapback, making sure you get the perfect fit. Ping - Anthem Tour Snapback Of course, summer also means Independence Day for those of us in the U.S., and if you're feeling patriotic, this could be the one for you. Ping's Anthem Tour Snapback is an adjustable hat with a mesh back for breathability, but its front-facing design is what catches the eye. The stars and stripes placed inside a gold frame make for a remarkably sharp look. Radmor - Dead Center Trucker The best place for your putt to go is right in the middle of the cup, or as most golfers refer to it: "Dead center." That's what Radmor is celebrating with its Dead Center Trucker hat, which features the brand's "dead center" logo and mesh side and back panels. It's also constructed from recycled ocean plastic. Rhoback - Poly Performance Hat Another one that can go with just about any combination of clothes, and its functionality is top-notch. The Rhoback Poly Performance Hat has just that in mind: performance. Its profile is structured but soft and its fabric is lightweight and designed to wick sweat away from your head, ensuring maximum comfortability while you're out on the links. TaylorMade - Lifestyle Rope Cap The look of this hat is just flat out excellent. The grayish blue is sharp and the rope adds a white and black accent that really makes the logo — TaylorMade's classic branding embossed in leather — pop. Not only is it pleasing to the eye, its composed of a durable cotton blend that is built to last. Titleist - Players Tech Hat Most golfers know the look of the classic Titleist tour hat, which usually features the ProV1 and FootJoy logos on the sides. Those hats are great, and there's plenty of them at PGA Tour Superstore, but if you're looking for something a little different, the Players Tech Hat is the way to go. It's lightweight and features a more athletic look and fit, with ventilated side panels. Titleist - SP25: Charleston Aussie Hat For anyone who needs some extra protection from those pesky UV rays, Titleist's SP25: Charleston Aussie Hat is perfect for you. The string at the bottom allows for a nice, snug fit, and if you don't like it, you can remove it. This piece also features a sweatband outfitted with StaCool technology around the edges and protection from 50+ UPF for the days when the sun is beating down. TravisMathew - Final Boarding Snapback Hat If you're in search of a hat where comfort is its top priority, this might just be the one. The TravisMathew Final Boarding Snapback features Flexfit 110 technology, which is a combination of quick-drying, stretchy fabric and an adjustable closure for ultimate versatility. It doesn't sacrifice style, either, with the classic TravisMathew emblem placed on a festive and subtle floral patch. Srixon - Tour Original Cap As traditional as it gets here. This is Srixon's flagship piece when it comes to headwear, and it's one you'll see often worn by the pros on the PGA and LPGA Tour. It has sweat-wicking fabric and slider buckle strap on the back, allowing for the ideal fit, and its structured profile promises durability. 2Putt - Fly Like an Eagle Hat One more patriotic entry for the road, but this one isn't your typical USA piece of apparel. 2Putts Fly Like an Eagle Hat is perfectly festive, with a fun eagle design on the front and subtle but noticeable rope across the top of the brim. This one is multipurpose, too. It could be a festive 4th of July hat, or it simply could be an homage to making eagles on the golf course. Either way, you need it.

The Best Golf Pants To Keep You Comfortable From Tee To Green
You can play a round of golf in any old pair of pants, but once you've worn a pair that's actually made for the course, it's hard to go back. Made from stretchy, breathable fabrics, the best golf pants put an end to unwanted tugging, overheating and general discomfort. I spoke with the cofounder of a golf apparel brand and surveyed everyday golfers to learn which pants consistently make the cut, both on and off the green. Based on these insights and my in-depth research, the Lululemon ABC Pants are the best option overall—they're light, stretchy and easy to wear for hours on end. To find a well-rounded selection of other comfortable, capable golf pants, I examined styles based on a set of key variables: fit and fabric, storage and sheer versatility. The options in this guide meet the needs of just about any golfer, whether you're playing in the Florida sun or struggling to source pants that actually fit. Find a style that works for you, and refer to the buyer's guide for additional insights courtesy of Scott Morrison, cofounder of golf apparel brand Radmor. Sizes: 28 to 40 | Materials: 100% recycled polyester (lining); 53% elastomultiester, 47% recycled polyester (body) | Pockets: 4 Ask a group of discerning golfers to name their favorite pants and you'll probably hear at least one of them mention Lululemon's ABC Pants. The smart-casual style is made with a breathable, flexible blend of fabric that moves surprisingly well and feels great against bare skin for long-term comfort. They're also quick-drying, resistant to wrinkles and made from recycled materials to reduce environmental impact. Lululemon completes the design with four pockets, including dedicated phone storage and a hidden zippered pocket in the rear for smaller items, like tees and a marker. Add it all up, and it's no surprise these pants finds their way into just about every golfer's wardrobe. Naturally, the biggest drawback I hear about the ABC Pants is the price, and that's a fair concern. With a similar budget, you can pick up multiple pairs of the CRZ Yoga All-Day Comfort Golf Pants and swing away in a similar degree of comfort. That said, the ABC Pants take the cake because they're good for just about any occasion—you can dress for the office, the driving range, a family gathering or a quiet evening around the house—and that's pretty impressive. Ultimately, that's why these come out on top. Sizes: 28 to 40 | Materials: 100% polyester | Pockets: 5 CRZ Yoga's All-Day Comfy Golf Shorts earned a spot in our latest golf shorts guide, but if you're after more coverage, we're just as satisfied with the All-Day Comfy Golf Pants. For less than $50, you'll get a stretchy, quick-drying design that's available in more than a dozen colors. Since they're made for the course, these pants come loaded with pockets for your scorecard, tees and other essentials, plus a zippered one for cash or valuables. That said, the pants' 100% polyester construction is a flaw worth mentioning. While it's not a dealbreaker, polyester isn't very breathable on its own and it can hold onto odors, so it'd be nice to see CRZ Yoga use a fabric blend in the future. Still, it's plenty durable and comfortable enough for most environments, and you'll probably switch to shorts when playing in hot weather anyway. If you're willing to sacrifice a little breathability to save some coin, these are great pants to add to your quiver. Sizes: 28 to 46 | Materials: 100% recycled polyester| Pockets: 4 From the soft colorways to the straight cut through the leg, the Bonobos Performance Link Golf Pants look like a lot like classic dress pants, but make no mistake: They perform. Made from 100% recycled polyester, they're durable and soft against bare skin, and tiny details (like a rear zippered pocket) come in handy on the course. It's also really nice to see Bonobos offer so much variety in sizing. With a dozen colors, 14 waist sizes, five fits and five lengths to choose from, there's a combination that meets the needs of most bodies. Like the CRZ Yoga golf pants, the only real drawback is the 100% polyester construction. While it's a big plus that it's recycled, polyester gets hot when it's not combined with other fabrics. It's also less stretchy, so if you prefer slim-fit pants, you might find them a bit tight during dynamic movements like your driver swing. Ultimately, that's a small sacrifice to make if you're after classic golf pants, but it's worth noting. Otherwise, this is a great option that elevates style during most conditions. Sizes: 30 to 40 | Materials: 100% polyester (lining); 71% polymide, 29% elastane (body) | Pockets: 4 As nice as it would be to play in a pair of comfy joggers, courses (and even the game of golf itself) require you to dress a bit nicer, and that often comes at the cost of comfort. Fortunately, Greyson's Montauk Joggers are a great compromise, thanks to the satin fabric's eight-way stretch and soft cuffs that lock in the feeling of luxury. Plus, the fabric is antimicrobial, moisture-wicking and quick-drying, so it performs just like a technical layer, whether you're hot and sweaty or playing through light rain. Greyson completes the design with functional pockets and a sporty waistband for a streamlined, performance-ready fit. It's hard to look past the price when there plenty of less expensive options nowadays, but the Montauk Joggers check a lot of boxes if you're after a true balance of comfort and performance. Finding a style that looks and feels this good isn't easy, and when you've finally found it, you're likely to pay more. Do so, and the Montauk Joggers might just become your favorite pants for the course. Sizes: 36 to 56 | Materials: 95% polyester, 5% spandex | Pockets: 4 Golfers come in all shapes and sizes, and big and tall players need a little extra room to move and groove. Fortunately, Callaway's Big & Tall Stretch Classic Pant offers comfort in spades, from an active waistband that keeps your shirt tucked in to moisture-wicking fabric that helps regulate body temperature. Not only that, but the fabric also offers sun protection, and it's stretchy to make dynamic movements easier. Essentially, it's a simple, comfortable style that looks good on and off the course.

Your golf pants don't just impact how you look and feel on the course, they can affect how you play, too. After all, if you've spent even an hour in uncomfortable clothing, you know how quickly it can impact your mood and your ability to move in comfort. To find pants that are comfortable and versatile, we focused on variables such as fit, fabric and storage. Finding comfortable golf pants comes down to fit and fabric, storage options, weatherproofing and style. Here's how to make sense of these variables and find a pair that meets your needs. A pair of golf pants should balance flexibility, comfort and style—and this comes down to the right materials. Start by looking for fabrics with a hint of stretch, like blends that contain polyester, spandex or elastane, as these are great options that move with you as you play. 'Candidly, I think stretch is everything,' says Scott Morrison. 'A proper golf swing demands mobility from your hips, legs and core. Without enough stretch, you'll either feel restricted or your pants will pull out of shape.' Obviously, pants differ from shorts in that they offer complete coverage, so you'll need to take into account how the pants feel through the thighs and below the knee. A tailored fit that's just tight enough allows for full range of motion without unwanted bagginess or excess fabric. Fit is personal, but it often differs between styles and brands. Slim-fit pants create a more tailored look, but stretch and flexibility is key to maintaining movement so don't go for pants that feel truly restrictive. Regular fits are usually the best all-around choice, while relaxed fits improve airflow and comfort. Pockets may not sound all that important, but golf pants should offer space for your on-course essentials. Hand pockets are a good start, though you should also consider styles with rear pockets and a zippered pocket or two. Morrison notes that angled pockets are easier to access and hidden pockets can secure valuables without the unwanted bulk. 'Every element should add to the pants' utility without taking away from a clean, minimal look,' he explains. Full-coverage golf pants make it easier to play comfortably in cold or wet weather, but they can also be great for sunny days, too. Look for pants with a DWR (durable water-repellent) treatment to keep light rain or morning dew at bay and a UPF rating to reduce exposure to the sun. Most golf pants are plenty breathable, but polyester and synthetic blends are common because they wick sweat and dry quickly. 'You want pants that look sharp but perform under pressure, and can ideally take you from the golf course to the restaurant or bar with ease,' says Morrison. All of the styles in this guide feature clean, classic designs that transition into casual settings. The key to versatile styling lies in fabric selection, simple colors and a comfortable fit that complements your body without feeling too restrictive.
