Our assistance is here. Presented below are several top selections that the CBS Sports golf experts have been evaluating and utilizing through 2025. These items span from apparel and accessories enhancing the golfing experience to recovery tools for relaxation after a round at the club or at home.

A notable aspect of numerous featured products is their suitability for daily wear or utility. Let’s explore them.

Drive 5-Pocket Trousers ($85 | Under Armour): Apparel producers often struggle to perfect golf trousers. Yet, Under Armour excels in this category, offering a commendable product at a sensible cost, a rarity in today’s market. These trousers are adaptable, cozy, and perform well even during uncomfortable swings, which are inevitable during play.

TKO Hooded Sweatshirt ($140 | Zero Restriction): These items, acquired at the Ryder Cup, have seen constant wear ever since. They embody all desirable qualities in a hooded top—ideal for exercise, urban strolls, sufficiently smart for the golf course, and exceptionally comfortable for relaxing when golfing isn’t an option. The hood’s dimensions are also just right, combining robustness with flexibility, a feature often neglected in… hooded tops. Remarkable, isn’t it? True to its designation, this is an outstanding garment.

The Shaw Crewneck Jumper: Heathered Saffron ($225 | Holderness & Bourne): Professional players seek additional cashmere layering options, making this cashmere jumper a fitting choice. Featuring a mix of merino wool and cashmere, this H&B sweater could be the benchmark for an item suitable for a full round of golf, yet equally appropriate for a romantic dinner, socializing with companions, or enjoying a book by the fireplace. Its adaptability and classic appeal are remarkable—it feels less like specialized golf apparel and more like a staple for daily living.

Fender x Teufel Rockster Go 2 audio device ($99.99 | Teufel): Whether you are a dedicated golfer seeking relaxation post-game or someone who enjoys a lively atmosphere during play, the Rockster 2 Go offers an unparalleled portable music experience. This durable gadget resists impacts, endures chilly conditions, and is impervious to dust and moisture. Its iconic Fender aesthetic provides an impressive, desired appearance, while Teufel’s sound engineering delivers superior audio. Boasting up to 28 hours of power, rapid USB-C recharging, and a strap for securing it to various objects, this makes an excellent present or personal acquisition.

VKTRY Recuperation Footwear ($79.99 | VKTRY): Golfers are well aware of foot fatigue after a full 18-hole game, especially when walking the entire course. Upon reaching the clubhouse and removing golf footwear, accelerate rejuvenation with what might be the market’s most luxurious slides. Offered in white (as shown) and black, in both open-toe and closed-toe styles, these shoes incorporate a triple-layer restorative mechanism: an exceptionally cushioned base to boost circulation, a carbon cloud core for enhanced reaction, and a shaped sole with elevated arch support to encourage fluid motion during walking.

Chip Shot hooded top / Big Hitter rope cap ($112 / $38 | William Murray): Over time, the name Bill Murray has become linked with enjoyable golf, and his apparel collection reflects this perfectly. The Chip Shot hoodie effectively reinterprets the golf polo, suitable as a lightweight external layer or worn beneath a coat—and its sizing is accurate, a consistency not always found in golf apparel. Among several movie-themed products from William Murray is the Big Hitter hat, described by the brand as “specifically crafted for the Lama’s twelfth son” and assured to infuse you with abundant “gunga-galunga” spirit, whether you’re on a manicured fairway or deep within a ravine.

ColorVision 88 with HD grey eyewear ($48 | BluBlocker): Viewers of “Happy Gilmore 2” observed Adam Sandler sporting these retro spectacles throughout the movie. This updated version of the highly sought-after 1988 eyewear is light and pleasant to wear. It provides extensive peripheral coverage, shielding your eyes from various angles. Adding polarization with the iconic BluBlocker amber lenses is an extra $20, enhancing the classic aesthetic. Whether your acquaintance, colleague, or relative is a recreational or dedicated golfer, these sunglasses will prove advantageous.

Richard Undergarment ($41 | B. Draddy): This item might be unexpected in a golf apparel gift guide, but allow us to elaborate. Few experiences surpass finishing a golf game, cleansing yourself, and then donning fresh attire to unwind and recount each shot to loved ones. This post-game comfort begins with undergarments. These B. Draddy boxers are crafted from Pima cotton, offering extreme softness, devoid of the synthetic fabrics typically used for sportswear and specific outerwear.

Gamechanger Athletic Trousers ($108-$65 | Public Rec): Tired of conventional golf trousers? These athletic bottoms are exceptionally soft, highly adaptable, and quite fashionable, ideal for both playing golf and casual wear. Their ample stretch fabric guarantees unrestricted motion, while the medium-weight material ensures optimal temperature regulation. These also make excellent travel pants, featuring an elasticized waist, zippered pockets at the front and back, and a decorative front fly, making them suitable for various settings. They come in eight distinct shades—with three currently discounted to just $65.

Be the Ball golf cloth ($29 | Par Bleu): Offered in diverse patterns and hues, these premium golf cloths utilize a distinct microfiber that preserves its vibrancy and resilience through cool or warm laundering, the latter potentially crucial given how frequently one might encounter their ball in bunkers and grime. This particular “Be the Ball” design is notable for serving as a prompt to remain present and concentrated on the game, warding off external distractions and vexations during your swing.
