Men's golf polos

The collared polo, dress code on the course

On most courses, the collared polo is part of the dress code: a tradition inherited from British clubs, which often excludes round neck t-shirts and sleeveless shirts, and many clubs also require it to be tucked in. The modern golf polo maintains this appearance while focusing on performance: stretch technical fabric that moves with the shoulder rotation, quick drying, a fitted cut without being tight, and often a slightly longer back that stays in place during the swing. The collar, softer than before, keeps its shape throughout without scratching the neck.

Ultimate, Cloudspun, T2G: three approaches to technical polos

The adidas Ultimate range serves as a versatile base, available in Climacool, with breathable fabric for warmth, and in Cold.Rdy with long sleeves, which retains body heat in cool weather. The Core Performance uses Primegreen fibres, made from recycled materials. At Puma, the Cloudspun focuses on a very soft and stretchy fabric, while the Pure remains a simple and lightweight polo. Under Armour offers the T2G, for Tee to Green, and the Drive, with printed patterns, two technical polos that quickly wick away sweat and dry fast between holes.

Short or long sleeves depending on the season

In warm weather, choose a lightweight short-sleeved polo with breathable fabric, in a light colour to limit heat from the sun. As the mornings cool down, the long-sleeved polo, like the adidas Ultimate Cold.Rdy, protects the arms without restricting movement, where a thick layer would stiffen the swing. For the fit, the polo should allow the shoulders to turn freely and not ride up at the end of the motion: check by mimicking a complete swing. Washing at thirty degrees, without fabric softener which clogs the technical fibres, extends its breathability.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a golf polo and a regular polo?

The golf polo uses a stretch and breathable technical fabric, while the regular polo is often made of cotton pique. It dries faster, accommodates torso rotation, and keeps its shape after several hours on the course.

What is the Cold.Rdy technology from adidas?

Cold.Rdy refers to adidas clothing designed for cold weather: the fabric retains the body's heat while wicking away moisture. On a long-sleeved polo, it allows playing on autumn mornings without layering thick clothing.

Does a technical golf polo shrink in the wash?

Synthetic fibres do not move much in the wash, provided you stick to thirty degrees and avoid the tumble dryer. Excessive heat particularly damages elastane, which loses its elasticity and causes the polo to deform.

Are there large size golf polos for men?

Yes, golf polos generally go up to XXL, sometimes beyond depending on the models. Check the brand's size guide: an athletic fit is closer to the body than a regular fit.

Is an anti-UV polo useful for playing golf?

A round lasts four to five hours outdoors, often during the sunniest periods. A tight mesh or a polo featuring a UPF protection rating filters some of the ultraviolet rays and protects the shoulders and the upper back.
