Golf sweaters have traditionally been style staples on the course, for men and women. You may have noticed the silhouette is having a resurgence beyond the golf world too. Whether you’re looking to pair these soft layers with your performance gear to keep you warm through windy and wintery playing conditions, or top with jeans for post-round plans, these golf sweaters have classic tailoring or fashion-influenced accents, without compromising function. These knits all contain moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties, often thanks to the inherent qualities of the natural fibers like wool, cashmere and cotton. You can slip these over a thermal base or pair with a polo for a collared look.

Bonobos Limited Edition Golf Sweater
The sun-dappled artwork here is one-of-a-kind, especially when coupled with the raspberry hue and the blend of four—4!—soft fibers woven in one smooth blend, with performance-enhancing qualities you need for the course.
$129 $44 with code JUSTMADEIT | Bonobos
Malbon Helena Shawl Collar Knit
This cotton-and-alpaca blend cardigan comes in classic colorways, gray and eggnog. The tapered shawl collar takes inspiration from old-school golf and the silhouettes often seen in vintage images, but the embroidered suspenders design on the back places this sweater firmly in the styles of today.

Even those who turn their noses at royal (and fashion) history will appreciate the attention to detail of this 100-percent nostalgic cotton sweater, patterned with mid-size sheep like Princess Diana’s iconic version, and finished off with hand-embroidered dotting the eyes (so to speak).

Lacoste Men's Made in France High-Neck Wool Sweater
This responsibly-sourced wool sweater is a bit of an unexpected option for the course, but classic sporty tailoring makes it a stylish look. The punchy color-block design adds vibrancy to the brand’s iconic crocodile badge, and the roomy fit is perfect for wintering layering and ease of movement on the course.
$220 $132 | Lacoste
adidas Y-3 Knit Crew Sweater
What’s unique here, aside from the new price drop, is this sweater’s cut, which is A-line, different from those cinched sweaters your grandpa wore. The lime color here is fresh for winter, and the textured finish adds intrigue.
$400 | adidas United States
Polo Ralph Lauren Cotton Crewneck Sweater
We’re topping this list off with another golfer-favorite–the essential men’s Ralph Lauren crewneck. The updated classic is made with soft cotton yarn that’s responsibly harvested and ensures more sustainable livelihoods of future cotton farmers and the land they plant on. This suave pine can be dressed up if necessary, depending on your post-round plans. And if you’re looking for a zesty look, might we suggest layering this piece over a bright yellow or playful lavender polo? Your game will thank you.
$138 $100 | Ralph Lauren
Paul Smith Wool "Signature Stripe" Roll Neck Sweater
The colorful striping makes this sweater unique, as well as the turtleneck and looser fit combination that will keep your neck and chest warm on the course without restricting your movements—plus it’s layerable.
