30 Best Golf Shirts for Men 2024, Tested By Golfers and Style Experts

It’s right there in the name—a versatile golf shirt that comes in two different cuts and 35 (!) colors. When compared with the other options we tested, our golf experts liked how this polo was made with antimicrobial tech and anti-odor technologies, so even when it was stuffed inside a golf bag after hours of play, it still stayed fresh.

One customer said: “Breathable material that looks more evolved than a golf polo. Smart enough for the office under a blazer or with shorts on a brunch patio.”

Malbon has quickly become the most ubiquitous name in golf’s “new wave” (i.e., the surge of brands that have popped up in the past half decade to challenge the game’s old guard). The polos have an eye towards streetwear, but there’s plenty of performance options in the lineup.

Only thing is, Malbon does everything as small-run drops, so this polo was sold out the day after it hit our desk. Good news is there’s always new heat on the site.

An affordable golf shirt you can probably get delivered in two days for that tee time you have in three days. Featuring a slim cut that fits close to the body, a flat-knit rib trim at the collar, and side vents for comfortable movement.

One customer said: “Excellent shirt made out of quality material at an unbelievable price. Don’t be confused by the ‘slim fit’ label; they appear to me to be a very normal fit at an outstanding value.”

If you’re searching for a golf shirt that makes you easy to spot in the fescue, Bonobos’s floral-covered polo is your best option. It has a heat-seal logo on the right sleeve, UPF 50+ sun protection, and a two-button placket.

One customer said: “The golf polo is amazing, great fit, great looks. I receive compliments every time I wear it.”

A luxe-looking, luxe-feeling, all-around-great golf shirt. A testament to what good fabric and construction can do, this polo hangs naturally and neatly with a substantial and sturdy collar. It received high remarks from our Esquire editors who frequent the course, thanks to the UPF 50+ technology, which provides great protection from the sun.

If you want a little edge, look no further than Devereux. This signature-tipped polo is a great representation of a brand that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Our style and golf experts especially like this option because it’s sweat-wicking, breathable, and has odor-fighting properties.

One customer said: “Bought it as a gift for my boyfriend, and he thinks it’s the coolest polo he has. He loves it. Looks great.”

From the brand that owned the whole shirt conversation at the 2023 Masters comes a more subdued but still interesting option from J. Lindeberg, which makes some of the most exciting shirts in golf. Sewn from premium jersey knit fabric, it’s moisture-wicking and has just the right amount of stretch, and we guarantee it will become your new go-to shirt round after round.

An American style standard since 1972, Ralph Lauren creates a polo that speaks for itself. Available in multiple different colors, our fashion editors like how the highly breathable cotton mesh offers a textured look and silky soft feel.

Sid Mashburn is no secret to menswear aficionados, but the brand might be one of golf’s most hidden gems and ideal for anyone aiming to walk the walk on all that “on and off the course” baloney. Sid makes a no-notes piqué pocket polo that pairs perfectly with the classics for golfers who want to look like grown-ass adults.

From the legendary shirtmakers at Gant comes a perfectly simple yet slightly more steezy golf shirt in the form of a sun-faded polo that says, “I’ve spent more time on the course than you”—whether that’s true or not.

One customer said: “Good quality shirt, arrived quick, looks and feels great.”

A no-frills, no-worries, moisture-wicking performance polo. This option will take your game to the next level with its easy, comfortable movement and lightweight and breathable feel.

A straightforward long-sleeved golf shirt you can use to layer or wear on a day when it’s not-quite-summer temperatures. Although golfers tend to gravitate toward short-sleeve options, our experts recommend having a healthy dose of long-sleeved shirts in your rotation (and honestly, always keep one in your bag) for unexpected conditions.

The best part about Brooks Brothers’ golf shirt isn’t that it’s a time-tested polo with a little more stretch—it’s that it comes in three different fits, making it probably the most universal polo on this list. When trying this option out, our golf and style experts noted that it had great shape retention and was flattering on all different body types.

One customer said: “This is a polo that will never let you down. It has a good build and good cut, which makes it an overall great option.”

Criquet took a Nicklaus-era style and fit it for the modern game. We appreciate the opportunity it presents to take it down one more button. Plus, it’s made with moisture-wicking performance fabric that will keep you cool from the first swing to the last putt.

One customer said: “The performance players shirt is a must. It has an athletic fit but not too tight. Criquet always includes extra collar stays in every delivery.”

If you’re a streetwear head who loves to show that Stone Island tag hanging off your sleeve but you moonlight as a golf sicko, this is the best golf shirt to buy (and flex). Featuring two buttons at the neck and ribbed details, our editor notes that this option has a slim fit, which will give you a more sleek, modern silhouette.

It’s not quiet luxury, but it’s quiet and it’s luxe. AMI makes some of the best no-fuss, clean-cut clothing out there. This isn’t marketed for golf, but there’s no reason not to wear it while playing. It’s cut with a little extra room through the chest and the body, so you don’t have to worry about feeling restricted when you’re getting ready for a backswing.

You can wear this striped polo anytime, anywhere. On and off the course, it’ll keep you looking on par. Plus, our style experts like how this option is mostly made out of polyester fabric which is lightweight, durable, and will help repel UV rays.
