Best Golf Jumpers
We all have our favourite golf clothing because golf is a game supposed to be played in all weathers. When the sun comes out we have our favourite shorts, when the rain hits we have the best golf waterproofs to deal with it. And many of us also have a favourite jumper or sweater that gets used the most when it gets chilly on the links.
However, that old favourite might be in need of an upgrade, especially when you consider the performance you might be missing out on. A good golf jumper is worth it’s weight in gold, whether it’s a 1/4 or 1/2 zip, lambswool or merino, short sleeved or long, it’s an essential piece of clothing that you’re guaranteed to get regular use from for a few years.
Importantly, many garments these days are constructed with modern and technologically-advanced fabrics to make sure they are stretchy, warm, water repellent, durable and also look great. Most brands design golf jumpers that fit into all of these areas so to narrow down your choice, below we have highlighted some of the best golf jumpers currently on the market.

Galvin Green Dominic
Sizes: S-3XL
Colours: 3 (White, Navy, Black)

Of course it delivers outstanding thermal insulation, and it has a soft, stretchy, durable and breathable feel to it. But more interestingly it is made with an Insula fabric that is 90% recycled polyester so you can do your bit for the environment too. Each of the three colours look great as well.

Adidas Go-To Crewneck Sweatshirt
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 3 (Black, Green, Navy)
+ Versatile to use on and off the course

– More colour choice would be great
Over the past few years adidas has really started to move things forward when it comes to sustainability, and one avenue it has had huge success in is in golf apparel. Take this sweatshirt for example which is made from recycled materials and is part of the Go-To collection which looks to move the brand closer to its goal of using recycled polyester in all of its products by 2024.
This is not the only reason you should consider this jumper as part of your golf attire though because the performance is top-quality too. It is extremely soft with the thick cotton blend giving a lovely feel on the skin to the point where you could quite easily wear it all day. In fact the design is versatile enough that that is a huge plus point.

Nike TW Merino Knit Crew Jumper
Sizes: S-2XL
Colours: 3 (White, Red, Black)
+ Incredibly soft on the skin
+ Great looking jumper
– Slim fit may require going up a size
The Tiger Woods line of clothes from Nike are some of the most popular garments in golf and it is easy to see why because they are always high-quality, look great, and have little details that you know Tiger would have had some input on. This jumper has been made using premium fabrics to give a luxurious feel that feels great on the skin. The little details we like the most include the rib knit detail at the shoulders and the engineered stretch under the arms, while the ventilation stretch insert down the spin further enhances flex where you need it most. Let’s not forget the subtle TW branding too.
